Carlito had all the tools necessary to make a name for himself in wrestling: flawless ring work, a cool gimmick (because who didn't enjoy seeing him spit apple in people's faces?) and even the blood-line.

But the second-generation star had something missing - how else do you explain the fact that, whenever he seemed close to breaking into the main event, he instead ran into a brick-wall?

In 2007, that brick-wall was named Triple H, who had just returned from injury ready to conquer anyone on Raw who threatened his title of "The King of Kings". Booker was first, and then, at Unforgiven, it was Carlito's turn

A defeat in and of itself wouldn't have been terminal, but with No DQ rules applying to him only, it was difficult to come back from.
