Carlito's Father Pissed Off At WWE?, Major WWE/Iraq Problems, More

Carlos Colon, a wrestling legend in Puerto Rico and father on WWE superstar Carlito, is frustrated with World Wrestling Entertainment. Colon feels his WWC promotion in Puerto Rico should a WWE developmental territory, and believes a WWE affiliation is vital in the long-term survival of the company. In years past, WWE worked with Puerto Rico's IWA as a developmental group. WWE isn't interested since their house shows always sells out on the island. Colon has attended several television tapings, and has met with John Laurinaitis. At this time, WWE is only interested to work with Colon as the local promoter for their shows.
