In 1999, Colón began competing in the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico as a
face under the name "Carly". During his time with WWC, Carly feuded with Ray Gonzalez (Ramón Gonzalez). The
two competed in several matches involving the WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship , with both of them defeating their adversary
in title bouts on separate occasions.
When Colón signed a developmental
contract with World Wrestling Entertainment, he was assigned a heel character in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). During this
period, Colón was also booked as a heel for WWC and was involved in an angle where he had conflicts with members of
his family.
This angle culminated in the company's anniversary event,
Anniversario 2004 , where Carly competed in a match against Eddie Colón.
