Charles Ronald "Chuck" Palumbo was born June 15, 1971 in West Warwick, Rhode Island. He is an American pro wrestler, who is currently signed to WWE, wrestling on its Raw brand.
After wrestling in WCW, Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire came into the WWF on the June 28, 2001 episode of SmackDown! as part of The Alliance. Chuck and Sean dropped the WCW Tag Team Title they had won from Team Canada's Mike Awesome and Lance Storm, to The Undertaker and Kane quietly in mid-August.
Sean was sent to developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling in early September 2001, and Chuck was thrown out of The Alliance in late October by storyline co-owner of The Alliance, Stephanie McMahon after he complained he wasn't given enough air-time, so he joined the WWF in November.
After receiving the boot from The Alliance, Chuck found himself a tag team partner in Billy Gunn. The pair started as a generic babyface tandem working dark matches, but were later given a heel gimmick that saw the pair grow increasingly affectionate towards each other, showing evidence of a relationship and Palumbo became known simply as Chuck. He briefly wore his long hair in pigtails before cutting it short shortly afterwards.
On the February 21, 2002 edition of SmackDown!, Billy and Chuck defeated Tazz & Spike Dudley to win the World Tag Team Championship. They later found a "personal stylist" on March 21, 2002 in the ambiguously flamboyant then heel, Rico.
Billy and Chuck lost the tag team gold to Rikishi and Rico, who was forced to team with Rikishi on May 19, 2002 at Judgement Day. Less than a month later Rico would help Billy and Chuck recapture their titles, but this reign wouldn't last long when Billy and Chuck lost the titles to Edge and Hulk Hogan.
In the late summer of 2002, Billy and Chuck were the source of controversy when Chuck apparently proposed to Billy on September 5, 2002 edition of SmackDown! 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. When Billy and Chuck decided not to go through with the marriage, Rico turned on them by helping Eric Bischoff and 3-Minute Warning attack the duo. Billy and Chuck both turned face and Rico subsequently jumped to Raw as the manager of 3-Minute Warning, who beat Billy and Chuck at Unforgiven 2002.
Billy Gunn was injured in early October 2002, and Chuck became a generic face, working SmackDown!'s B-show WWE Velocity for a few months using his original ring name Chuck Palumbo once again.
