WCW Superstars: Where Are They Now?

4. Chuck Palumbo - Motorcycle Builder, Musician & Gym Owner

Palumbo worked for WCW for the last three years of its existence and was recognised as one of the brightest lights in wrestling at the time. He gained most notoriety as part of the Natural Born Thrillers and "The Perfect Event" with Shawn Stasiak. He won a total of four WCW World Tag Team Championships in WCW before they went out of business. He was part of the Invasion angle, teaming with Sean O'Haire. He was then signed to a full time WWE contract and represented the company for the next three years. His most success came in the slightly confusing tag team of Billy and Chuck. The pair won two tag team championships before breaking up. Chuck returned to WWE in 2006 as a remake of The Undertaker's biker persona. He left the company two years later and returned to the independent scene for a second short spell. His main passion these days comes in the form of custom motor bikes. Chuck builds custom choppers from the ground up as well as customising current models. That run as the biker in WWE make's Palumbo one of the few to make his real-life passion into his in-ring gimmick. He then turned the gimmick back into a successful business. Quite the romantic tale. He also opened Chuck Palumbo€™s Garage Gym, a fitness centre with a 'garage' feel. While injured during his second WWE run, Palumbo taught himself guitar and started a band, which he still does today.
