Chuck Palumbo is a former WWE and WCW star. He won tag titles in both promotions and was part of the Natural Born Thrillers faction in WCW. He later formed a popular tag team in WWE alongside Billy Gunn.
Palumbo recently spoke to Jonathan O'Dwyer of Pro Wrestling Defined. During the interview, he opened up about the Billy and Chuck storyline. The former WWE star said the following:
It took everybody to make that happen, right? It took those talent, it took Billy Gunn, it took Eric Bischoff, it took Stephanie McMahon. It took those people to make it work. A lot of great talent so it wouldn't have happened without them. It's a character, right? It's a character so why not have fun with it. So Billy and I are not gay but so what does it matter if we are or not? We had fun with the character and we were playing a part. At the end of the day, say what you want to say, we're not the greatest actors but we are actors. Every one of those wrestlers are actors. We had fun with it and we laughed.
