-- Regarding Carlito's comments on Triple H's position with World Wrestling Entertainment and his marriage to Stephanie McMahon at a press conference last week, a large percentage of the WWE roster share the same sentiments. However, there is a key difference as they keep their feelings to themselves and say it in private. A number of people have strong feelings over Triple H's position in the company, but it's a subject matter that almost everyone is smart enough to never talk about publicly as it's practically political suicide.

I mean Carlito needs to shutup and work hard, its just like with Hogan, Triple H gets blamed by everybody for their lack of ability to make it, and their jealousy is sad to blame someone else for their shortcomings. I mean Carlito's matches never get the fans into they really don't care, and people can't say lack of storyline because Jeff Hardy hardly ever had a storyline and he was madly over with the fans.

Oh my god. Somebody that I agree with on the subject. HHH busted his ass. Fact is that Vince is afraid to give the title to someone he thinks is inexperienced, so he gives it to people he knows can hold hit. Many people claim its boring, i say its just the way Vince works. Carlito has a terrible gimmick, he's a decent wrestler but like FV1 said, no one cares. Jeff Hardy was exciting, Cena was over for the beggining of his reigns because of storylines and charisma, certainly not wrestling. So when it comes down to it, Carlito and many other of the "Locker Room" just have shortcomings they can't just get over and show Vince something fantastic.

I don't mean to burst your bubbles guys, but I do agree w/Carlito and others.

and plus, there are other people on other forums who hate Triple H as well.

I'm sorry, but I was never a Triple H fan, never have been and never will be.

Triple H has become like the next Hulk Hogan, they're all about ego and money.

and so, I can't say as I blame them for what they said.

and also, people saying that Triple H is jealous is like saying that John Cena is jealous as well b/c they sell more merchandises.

Well if someone doesn't like Triple H, then that's them, that doesn't mean that they're jealous.

They're just tired of him taking over the spotlight, and that's why alot of them would rather prefer working on SD! than on RAW.

and not to be off topic, but @ least guys like Jeff Jarrett doesn't screw people over.

and that's my opinion.

So what? People on this board don't like him, do i care? No. I recognize his talent and the lack of talent in the WWE right now. Very few young guys, really only Mr. Kennedy and Morrison are the ones i can see really developing.

How do you know? You just listen to what other people say, me, i think HHH genuinely enjoys entertaining people. He's got a huge ego, what performer doesn't?
What are you talking about TNALD? That statement isn't very clear.


Ah, when they say he only got to where he was because he slept with Stephanie, i would say thats jealousy.


And besides saying what he thinks how has HHH screwed someone? Please tell me you aren't talking about Montreal. JJ has held just has many people back.

Oh wouldn't you like to know.

and besides, I was giving out my opinion.

and I'm not going to comment on anything else.

Everyone has a right to free speech, and so, if they want to shoot on someone, then I say, go ahead.

and plus, I'm a Jeff Jarrett fan and I could careless what people say about him, just like you don't care what people say about Triple H and some of us on here are Jeff Jarrett fans and you're the only one I know that doesn't like Jarrett, but hey, just b/c I like Jeff Jarrett over Triple H and you like Triple H over Jarrett, doesn't mean that we can't agree on the same thing.

and so, we're even.

and no comment about the Montreal Screwjob, I've been done with that a longtime ago.

But yes, he has screwed alot of people over.

Just go to other forums and you'll see what I mean.

I dont think its because nobody has jumped out at vince.I think its because HHH sits in the Creative Meetings and has Influence that other guys dont,and i think he needs to stay away from Creative.JBL and UnderTaker dont influence Creative.HHH and HBK's job is to WRESTLE not book Storylines! I think Carlito would be bigger now and even WWE or WORLD CHAMPION if he had been pushed right.His Gimmick is OK,a pompus carribean.Where they made the mistake was turning him face,he is a natural heel like Orton.

When Carlito made his debut he won the U.S. title his first night from JOHN CENA.Carlito could have been bigger had they continued to push him,he could have carried SD! IMO back in 2004-2005.He was COOL when he had the bodyguard JESUS and the streetfights with John Cena,and Stabbing Cena.He was awesome.

Then on his first night on RAW he won the I.C. Title,i forgot from who,but then they made him loose the belt to Flair and become face and thats where WWE dropped the ball.I dont blame Carlito,he could have been huge by now.But instead was held back,but now he is fed up and expressing his opinions.Alot of guys have to lay down to HHH and there tired of it.They dont get a fair share,and neither has legends like RVD,BOOKER T.,EDGE,KURT ANGLE...HHH refused to let them beat him and politiced against them.How do you back that up?So the younger guys have a reason to be upset if he has held back and politiced against Legends.

ratedrko1, I agree w/you completely.

and that's why alot of guys are waiting for Triple H, HBK and The Undertaker to move away from the spotlight.

IMO HHH,HBKUnderTaker,JBL had their time and need to be helping the new generation and let the new guys becme bigger by putting them over.Because if not then when those 4 retire,WWE will be lefted with a bunch of guys not developed and only known for losing to HHH and HBK.WWE will loose many fans if they feel these new guys are just Losers.I commend UnderTaker for helping guys get over sometimes.

Now your just blabbing. I know the constitution, TNALD, I don't need you to tell me about free speech.


I'm not going to waste time looking on other forums for who HHH has screwed over. Either cough up the names or just don't bring it up.
I completely disagree. Carlito is mediocre. He can do some good stuff in the ring but he's like most of the other young guys, he falls short on everything else besides wrestling skills which, whether we like it or not, is not the most important thing in wrestling. We can blame the creative team and management for most of the mistakes with pushing guys at the right time and doing it right, but it sometimes just comes down to the wrestlers having short comings.


See thats the thing i don't think you guys understand. Edge has a great career because he made it great. He has the charisma and the wrestling skills to go over the top. RVD was to busy getting high too, Booker T's King gimmick was funny at first but it made me want to throw a remote at my T.V after a while, and Kurt Angle succeeded in being a great ring skills guy but he should leave most of the talking to someone else (his shortcoming.) Edge became the heel in the business not because someone like HHH or HBK helped him or hindered him, but because he made himself that heel. Other guys bitch because they know that they haven't showed much. And another thing Edge became a legend in wrestling just a few short years ago in his feud with HHH and Cena. So if he can do it under this reign of big bad HHH why can't some of the younger guys who have been in the business a while?

Well Slash, I will...in do time.

But also, I disagree w/you completely.

I think he could have been bigger expect they made him look stupid.He is one of the best talkers of the new generation.There are several guys i think need to move on up in the main events and be put over before its to late.MVP,John Morrison,Kennedy,CM Punk,Carlito.Those 5 have what it takes and want to be at the top now but for some reason there not there.Theres more to it then them not making themselves get bigger.And EDGE only became bigger because The Rock,Stone Cold,Y2J lefted wrestling,Eddie Guerrero died.So the only veterans they had lefted were JBL,Edge,HHH,HBK,Kane,Taker.Had none of them lefted i doubt if JBL would have been champ for almost 1 year and i doubt Edge would have been pushed to the top.But then once he was pushed,he was so awesome and he showed Vince and the fans that he had what it took for a long time,it just took for some veterans to be out the way.

I can't listen to Carlito talk. I just want him to shut up.


Out of those two guys i see Kennedy and Morrison becoming huge stars. Really i think they got the potential. Punk was very up and down for a long time but he can become very consistent and he can make it fast. MVP, God please give him another gimmick then, i can't watch him anymore. Carlito, well a gimmick change will really help.

And if The Rock and SCSA were still a major part of wrestling they would be in the same spot as HHH and HBK. Edge became huge because he showed with the Matt Hardy feud that he is a major heel and he can put anyone over.

Well I like Carlito, but if he does leave the WWE, then I would be happy and so would he.

and personally, I can't say as I blame him.

and plus, I like Stone Cold, I don't care too much for The Rock, HHH or HBK though.

I use to like Taker, but now, he's boring.
