i DO!
Such a bizarre case with Chuck. Had a legitimate midcard feud with Jamie Noble on Smackdown with some really good beatdowns and some solid matches. Looked like he could have moved to the upper midcard with the biker gimmick, then he's just tossed in as a supplemental draft pick to Raw and NEVER used. Then released out of no where. That was a terrible waste.

I remember him most for a gay wedding angle, and a mediocre feud with Taker and Kane during the WCW Invasion angle. But.....yeah Chuck Palumbo never really interested me. Now Sean O'Haire, that was a different story.

How Jungle Jim ever became the (most likely) well known member of the NBT, I will never understand.

Now Sean O'Haire, that was a different story. WWE really wanted to push him, Lance Storm has said answering an Q and A from his website. The problem was O'Haire kept getting into fights and trouble, and WWE didn't like that. After him, Mark Jindrak. Mark Jindrak was pretty interesting as a wrestler when he started, but he eventually went into "hoss mode" during his time in WWE. |

Ahh yes. I consider those to be "the lost era" wrestlers of the WWE. Guys such as Luther Reigns, Mark Jindrak, Shawn Stasiak and Nathan Jones. They just never really did big things. BTW, I always liked Luther Reigns.

BTW, I always liked Luther Reigns. I was never fan of the NbT, save for the Sean O'Haire and Mark Jindrak. The other NBT members... were well, not that good. I can't say I hated them, but I certainly didn't care much for them. Sean O'Haire and Mark Jindrak actually had pretty good chemistry as a tag team, but for some reason, WWE paired O'Haire with Chuck Palumbo. They never really clicked as a team. In fact, WWE used to seem to try hit it big again through having a second "New Age Outlaws" every once in a while - throw in two seemingly lifetime midcarders and hope they can make it big. I never thought "Road Dogg" Jesse James was anything special. He somehow managed to click on the mic when they let him do his thing, was the "entertainer" of the team, and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn became the "worker" of the team. WWE seemed to like Palumbo's look too (fans didn't), but they tried sticking him in several gimmicks and tag teams, and they just couldn't get it to work for him. |

Do WE remember him, yes.
Does WWE remember why they resigned him in the first place, no.

This thread just reminded me of the completely forgetable and somewhat bizarre Angle/Reigns/Jindrak team. Wow.

Not for the gimmick that theme was attached to (well, with a little effort).
Invasion and Billy & Chuck? Sure.
I never did warm to Palumbo at all in any incarnation though.

I think the gay angle Chuck was still in a lot of peoples heads and it was kinda tough to take Billy as a dangerous biker guy who kicks ass when a couple years prior he was hugging Billy Gunn when he got atomic dropped.

I remember Chuck Palumbo...Although recently a friend of my sister-in-law's was over at my brother's house while my bro was playing SVR '09 when Palumbo's "You will remember me" came on and the friend said , "I don't remember him. Who the heck is that?"

I remember JBL putting him over big time, saying he was a future champion and all that, which obviously didn't happen.
His finisher was nice though.

I always thought he was a quality power guy. He had a really good throw away match with Lesnar once.
