WWE star Chuck Palumbo becomes car dealer
Former wrestler restores cars for new TV show
Retired grappler Chuck Palumbo owns a body shop specialising in classic used cars
The former WWE wrestler has been searching for duffed up motors across America as part of a new TV show. Palumbo and his business partner Rick Dore pick up neglected cars to buy and sell for a profit.
Tag team... Palumbo and Dore
The twosome search for car hoarders who own a number of vehicles, usually one is an old classic car rusting away in a backyard.
Working out of their ‘SLAM’ garage, the duo offers the owners a deal. They’ll tow away rusting vehicles and sell what they can, then use the money from the sales to turn another of the owner’s cars into a priceless, custom show-worthy vehicle.
In action... Chuck during his wrestling days
It’s a far cry from Palumbo’s days as a successful WWE tag team champion back in 2002, as a single dodgy second hand car purchase could put the guys out of business.
The show ‘Extreme Car Hoarders’ begins 24th March and will be shown on the Discovery channel.
