Palumbo Talks, HBK Appearance Video, Lawler Wrestling For Title Again
– Chuck Palumbo was on Busted Open with Doug Mortman, Dave LaGreca and Reby Sky this past weekend. When asked about Billy & Chuck, he had this to say: "You know honestly I got to say that was one of my most fun times. You know first of all I got to work with Billy Gunn, who was a veteran and had been around a long time. He [Gunn] was showing me the ropes number one. Number two, I was getting some TV time, so I was digging that, you know. I've got nothing against gay people, you know, ask Matt, they're always making great gay jokes and making fun of people behind the scenes. I took it as a joke. I had fun with it. I mean I had a lot of fun with it. My only comment on that would be that I just wish, I felt like when it disbanded, it had a lot of miles on it. A lot of times there's a reason why they disband things. I think at the time Billy Gunn was about done with his contract and you know they decided to let him go, but I think it had a lot more miles left in it. Than again when Vince [McMahon] put that together, he put that together for cable network ratings... so he had a reason for it. He wanted to get that final rating on that SmackDown show, so I guess he did what he thought was right you know, but I thought it had more mileage left."
