History YMMV / CarlitoColon

* HilariousInHindsight: His promo about hoping how Sheamus beats John Cena even though he doesn't even like Sheamus because no one likes John Cena. Carlito later went on record to say that he and Cena were friends, and this was after they had supposedly gotten drunk and fought each other off camera, which would mean they would have to be pretty good friends. Apparently they fought because Cena was trying to get Carly a ''push''.
* JustHereForGodzilla: Some people declared WWC dead in 2003 when he left for WWE, as at that point most who had not jumped ship for IWA were only watching because Carly was still around. This is likely why Jim Cornette let Carly make a few brief returns to WWC (that and he and Danny Davis knew the importance of going places to get experience and could use a good relationship to establish another place to send wrestlers to)

** The company his father helped found, WWC, employed José González a.k.a. Invader #1, who killed Wrestling/BruiserBrody with a knife in 1988. At best, it was an overreaction in self defense (before wrestling was ''really'' exposed it wasn't uncommon for wrestlers to conceal weapons, as Wrestling/HarleyRace, Wrestling/JimCornette, Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield and Wrestling/NewJack will tell you). At worst, it was a premeditated murder arranged by Carlito's father (a poorly setup one since it occurred in an arena with thousands of people while law enforcement was on standby, but a common accusation all the same). Either way, González killed a man and was only punished in an angle (an angle where his opponent Manny Fernandez was the bad guy). The court case against him was thrown out for insufficient evidence even though there were at least two witnesses the prosecution neglected to call (González likely would have gotten sentenced with involuntary manslaughter at minimum). Carlos testified that González was defending himself and WWC had a hard time getting talent from the continental US and Japan for four decades as a result, both because of protests and ''fear''. WWC also lost a WWF developmental deal to the IWA, who got big enough to almost put WWC out of business and in fact would have if not for IWA Japan owner Victor Quiñones loaning WWC money (Quiñones, incidentally, had called the ambulance on the radio when learning of Brody's stabbing and seeing that they were having trouble getting into the arena). Now with all that in mind, WWC, which Carlito took partial ownership of in 2010, brought González back through 2011 to 2013, ensuring the controversy will be around for years to come.
