I Spit in The Face....of People Who Dont Know Why Carlito Is Cool

Carlos Edwin “Carlito” Colón Jr.

Best known for his quick ring ability and spitting apples in the face of those he deems “Not Cool.”

But what most fans are unaware of is that there is a truly great wrestler under the in-ring persona Carlito has to offer.

For those who don’t know, Carlito is the son of the Legendary Puerto Rican Wrestler Carlos Colón Sr.

I feel brief history lesson on Carlito’s father is in order.

Carlos Colón Sr. was a very famous and successful wrestler from the World Wrestling Council (WWC) based on the island of Puerto Rico . The WWC was founded by Carlos himself, along with Victor Jovica and the late great Gorilla Monsoon.

Colón Sr. has won the WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship an astounding 26 times.

He is also an 11 time WWC North American Tag team Champion and he was 2 time WWC Hardcore Champion.

In the WWC, “Hardcore” had the meaning it was born with.

Hard to the very Core. 

Not the lame version of hardcore with paper thin tables, aluminum instead of steel chairs, cheap, thin garbage cans, etc etc.

Hardcore fights were evolving and growing in popularity in America through the 60s, 70s and 80s and WWC in Puerto Rico was the first to experiment with setting things on fire at this time when Hardcore was just making a name for itself.
