Charles Ronald (Chuck) Palumbo is a professional wrestler who has previously performed for the WCW and WWE.

Wrestling career

WCW

He was offered a training contract by WCW (then owned by Time Warner) in April 1999, just six months after he first stepped foot into a wrestling ring. Chuck Palumbo came into WCW in early 2000 and formed a tag team with Shawn Stasiak and won the tag team titles. The team became known as the "Perfect Event" and were part of the Natural Born Thrillers. Kevin Nash was briefly the "coach" for the Thrillers.

Chuck and Shawn split and Chuck began teaming with Sean O'Haire and again became tag team champions. They came into the WWF (now the WWE) as part of The Alliance but Chuck was thrown out, and so joined the WWF.

Billy and Chuck

In late 2001, Chuck Palumbo found himself a tag team partner, Billy Gunn. In the late summer of 2002, Billy and Chuck were the source of controversy when Chuck apparently proposed to Billy, asking him to be his "partner for life." Billy and Chuck had a marriage ceremony on the 2002 season premiere of SmackDown! Just before they tied the knot, however, they revealed that the entire ordeal was a publicity stunt, and both characters disavowed their on-screen homosexuality.

Chuck next found himself alongside Nunzio and Johnny Stamboli. Together, the three up-and-comers comprise the stable of the F.B.I. (Full Blooded Italians).

Chuck then moved to the RAW brand and was a mainstay on its sister show Sunday Night Heat.

On November 3, 2004 Palumbo along with Gail Kim and Nidia were released by the WWE. Palumbo went to work for All Japan Pro Wrestling.
