During his career, he?s been a Natural Born Thriller, a controversial icon and a Full-Blooded Italian. Now that Chuck Palumbo has returned to WWE, however, he?s getting to be something else: Himself.
Just by looking at him, you?d never guess that the seemingly laid-back Californian?s biggest passion outside the ring has to do with speed and two wheels. But even before his in-ring days began, Palumbo was fascinated with building and riding motorcycles.
?My week consists of working on bikes for two or three days, going on the road, then coming back and starting again,?? Palumbo says. ?In the meantime, I?m riding on trips to Sturgis, to Vegas and so on.??
When the native of San Diego (by way of New England) needs to get his mind off his ?day job,?? his motorcycles are the first thing he turns to.
?Sure, sports-entertainment has been my life-long passion. I love wrestling,?? Palumbo said. ?But motorcycles are something else. When I need to get my mind off the business, I?ll grab a wrench or light a torch and get a weld going.??
Palumbo, who owns and has built several choppers, has even been featured in American Iron Magazine. Now, he combines his two biggest passions by bringing his motorcycle enthusiasm to the squared circle. Before his matches, Palumbo rides down to ringside on one of his bikes, and he exits the arenas the same way. For him, it?s more than a hobby; it?s a way to get revved up for the heat of battle.
?People say I?m really reserved. But when I get on the bike, it kicks in an adrenaline rush and then I become a different person,?? Palumbo reveals. ?I always tell people I?m doing two of the greatest things I can do; I get to wrestle and ride my bike in the same night.??
Don?t let that reserved look fool you, and don?t think for a second that Palumbo?s mind is elsewhere when he?s in the squared circle. Chuck is a master inside the ring as well, something many current and former WWE Superstars have found out the hard way.
First coming to prominence in WCW in 2000, Palumbo teamed with his fellow Natural Born Thrillers to capture the WCW Tag Team Championship four times in the promotion?s final year of existence. Having moved to WWE following the acquisition of WCW, Palumbo is also a multiple-time World Tag Team Champion.
Palumbo left WWE in 2005, moving on to wrestle in Japan and Italy (as well as spend more time working on his motorcycle craft) before finally returning in 2007. And with both of his passions merged, Palumbo sees even clearer the similarities between the two.
?Wrestling is an art form, as is building motorcycles,?? he says. ?You have to have a vision of what the end product is going to look like, then craft it with your hands.??
Hopefully, Palumbo?s biggest masterpiece in both fields is still ahead of him.
