#7 Chuck Palumbo: 2006–2008

Chuck Palumbo had a successful lower card run in WCW where he was a 4 times WCW Tag Team Champion. He was later picked up by the WWE when WCW closed and formed a successful, albeit controversial tag team with Billy Gunn, where the two were 2 times WWE Tag Team Champions, and then received a push as a member of the F.B.I faction with Nunzio and Johnny Stamboli. After almost a year of wrestling just on Sunday Night Heat, Chuck was released by WWE in November 2004.
Chuck re-signed with the WWE in March 2006 and officially returned to TV on the May 25, 2007, edition of Sunday Night Heat, with a biker gimmick, which was based off he in real life. Palumbo made his SmackDown re-debut later in 2007 and entered into an on-screen romance with Michelle McCool. After that and a partnership with Jamie Noble ended, he wrestled mostly on live events before being released in November 2008. Chuck would go on to present his own TV reality bike building show, Lords of the Car Hoards, on the Discovery channel in 2014.
