Former WWE Superstar Carlito recently spoke about how his gimmick in the company was a ripoff of Razor Ramon.
Carlito was a breakout star in WWE during the Ruthless Aggression Era. The second-generation superstar made his TV debut in 2004, beating John Cena in his first match and winning the United States Championship. He continued to perform on the main roster and also won the Intercontinental Championship and the Tag Team Championships.
The former star was in the United Kingdom attending the For The Love of Wrestling event. He spoke about his gimmick and mentioned that he drew inspiration from Razor. Carlito mentioned that Vince liked the apple spitting and asked him to continue with it.
"The apple spitting, if you notice, if you look at old Razor Ramon promos, mine are all basically ripoffs of that. In one of those, he spat something at some guy and in mine, it was an apple. Then Vince saw that and he said, 'Okay, I like it kid. I want you to keep spitting apples at people's faces.' And then I asked him am I the one spitting the apples? He goes, 'Yeah.' Okay, I got no problem with that. I could do that all day." [From 3:07 to 3:29]
