Carlito is not holding back when it comes to WWEs current mindset of the Latino audience, as he has now called them out for not understanding fans.
While speaking on Molusco TV, Carlito criticized WWE for failing to understand the Latino audience. He said he has been vocal for years about WWE not understanding the Latino market. He even recalled telling Vince McMahon directly, and Vince admitting that the company didnt really know Latinos or their culture.
WWE has often approached the market with a narrow view, assuming that Mexicans only care about Mexican wrestlers and Puerto Ricans only care about Puerto Rican wrestlers, without recognizing how diverse and interconnected Latino culture is, especially in wrestling.
Carlito explained that WWE still doesnt get it because they dont have Latino writers, bosses, or decision-makers. Without that, they cant really connect with the audience. Carlito tried to explain it, but it wasnt up to him. He believes it could have been something huge, whether it was with Dominik Mysterio or not.
Carlito also said working with AAA would have been easy since he speaks the language, has wrestled there before, and already has a connection with their fans. But WWE never went through with it, and to him it was a big missed opportunity.
Do you agree with Carlito that WWE doesnt fully understand the Latino audience? What steps should WWE take to better connect with Latino fans around the world? Share your thoughts in the comments!
