This week on The Bump, Carlito reflected on his return to WWE, saying it was a bit strange, but he is happy to be back.
Panelist Evan T. Mack complimented Carlito on his physique and asked him what his secret was. But before revealing her secrets, she had to tease the panel because she thought she looked better than a full-time superstar now.
“I think it’s funny how people react to my appearance. I don’t know if it’s a compliment or if I didn’t look good before. I’m still trying to figure that out, ”he chuckled. “When you reach my age, you have to learn how to eat and how important it is. You get away with it when you’re younger, but now you have to learn to eat spinach, that’s one thing; spinach, chicken breasts and apples too. “
While on the show, he and the panel remembered his first performance at the Men’s Royal Rumble in 2006.
“Oh, it was great!” he recalled. “I’m second generation, you know, it’s kind of familiar. But the Royal Rumble thing is unique. I watched it when I was a kid, and it was something I looked forward to. It’s one of the things you know you want to do. For me it was like a kid in a toy store. ”
While his father, brother, and cousin consolidated the Colon family’s legacy not just in Puerto Rico, but around the world, Carlito told Kayla Braxton that he is very proud that his family has provided opportunities for other fighters.
“You know, Puerto Rican territory, I mean, when I was a kid, everyone went through that. And growing up, you now saw these young people without a workplace. It’s a different style than other places, so it was great for us to be a little focal point for the guys to go out and try a different style, ”he said.
