Every Star Of The Last WCW Nitro: Where Are They Now?

10. Chuck Palumbo

It just never clicked for Chuck Palumbo. Eric Bischoff infamously presided over his "gay" wedding to Billy Gunn in 2002, but this controversy didn't draw cash - only fury from a phenomenally naive GLAAD. When the furore spelled the end of that alliance, and after Palumbo failed to get over with the FBI, he returned in 2006 under a biker gimmick. Only an nWo induction would have completed the Bischoff gamut.

This wasn't a Bischoff pitch; Palumbo builds custom motorcycles as his primary profession nowadays as owner of CP Kustoms. The man really, really likes motorbikes; he also plays guitar in a band called '3 Spoke Wheel'. He's more of a hero in real life than he was to a wrestling fandom that never really took to him; in January 2016, he saved a woman's life by lifting her out of a totalled car after picking it up.
