Chuck Palumbo has lots of in ring potential and he proved when he signed a WCW training contract. After six months of training Chuck blasted his way onto WCW programming when usually it takes a wrestler between 3 or 5 years to get this far. During his time in WCW he won Tag gold and was well on his way to heavyweight heaven until the WWE bought the company in 2001. When he first entered the WWE he fought alongside his tag team partner Sean OHaire. It wasnt long before the two went their separate ways. OHaire went to the WWE training camp (OVW) and Chuck was teamed up with the eight time Tag Champion Billy Gunn. The team carried a Homosexual gimmick and where strong heels in the tag team division and soon became Tag Champs. The team ended when the two where getting married. At the ceremony both stars admitted that it was all a publicity stunt so Billy took time off with a shoulder injury and Chuck went solo. After the introduction of Nunzio and Johnny Stamboli Chuck joined up with them and formed the new F.B.I Full Blooded Italians.
