The storyline involving Billy and Chuck was at the end of WWE's Attitude Era. It began with Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo forming a tag team during 2001. Soon, the two would start showing affection towards each other. Furthermore, an attestation of a homosexual relationship was depicted between the two on weekly WWE television.

The duo would flaunt matching red ring gear with bleached hair. They would get their personal stylist Rico. During 2002, the two would get serious and take up their relationship to the next stage by establishing their bond in holy matrimony.

During the ceremony, Billy and Chuck would publicly admit that it was all a ruse and that they were not together. They further stated that this whole angle was merely a publicity stunt that had gone too far. It would officially end the distasteful angle, followed by an attack by Eric Bischoff's 3-Minute Warning.

The events would not sit well with the mass and concerns over the storyline would spark controversies. The storyline probably had the worst taste and purpose, ridiculing the LGBT community as a joke. No one can even dare to imagine the consequences of such a gimmick in this day and age.
