ABC didn't pick up What About Brian for the upcoming fall season, the TV series Stacy Keibler made several appearances on earlier in the year. The network felt the ratings didn't warrant a third year for the series.

The CW has announced their fall schedule. As expected, Smackdown will remain on Friday nights at 8 p.m.

Carlito, who's notorious for always trying to stay in character even when he's doing media interviews, dropped his "Carlito accent" for his family's segment in the upcoming "The Most Powerful Families In Wrestling" DVD. How he talks in WWE isn't really how he talks in real life. Also, he hosts the DVD and does it in character.

I can't even believe there are people who thought that was how he REALLY talked. Its soooo fucking over the top, when I first saw him I thought it was a regular dude playing the role of a Puerto Rican.

Cause I could have sworn that he was raised in Canada. Hence canadian english? I dont know I guess I pieced things together...here's some fuel for that fire:

Carlito spoke of this in an interview with the Calgary Sun in which he stated "I didn't care about what they thought. I've always dreamed of working for the WWE when I was young, and I took that chance when it came".

According to Dave Meltzer, the reason Carlito is so fluent in the English language is because his mother is Canadian. Carlos wrestled in several Canadian territories early in his career and they grew up speaking English at home.
