Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo started teaming together for WWE in November 2001, and eventually became two-time World Tag Team Champions. Over time, the duo became more affectionate towards each other, and even both bleached their hair blonde. They even hired Rico as their own personal stylist, remember him?

In September 2002 in the middle of the ring, Palumbo proposed to Gunn. He proposed for them to have a life partnership, and would have a commitment ceremony, to which Gunn agreed. It was something of a different direction for WWE, which hadn't shown much attention to the LGBT community in WWE programming previously.

Sadly, like most WWE weddings that followed the proposal, things just didn't turn out how the couple wanted. Then Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff, disguised as the priest, brought out his 3-Minute Warning back-up to beat down Billy & Chuck. The SmackDown roster eventually came out to chase them off. The commitment never happened, and Billy and Chuck quietly parted ways.
