Palumbo began his career in 1998 on the independent circuit, using a surfer gimmick and the ring name The Dude. Palumbo made his debut appearance on WCW Monday Nitro on October 19, 1998 as a fan who accepted the challenge of Ernest "The Cat" Miller. Six months later, he was offered a training contract by WCW in April 1999. Just prior to the hiring of Vince Russo & Ed Ferrera as bookers for WCW, many of the Power Plant wrestlers would debut on WCW Saturday Night and WCW WorldWide. Palumbo's initial WCW run was under the name Jungle Jim, his gimmick being a man of the jungle. Palumbo would be undefeated in matches on the lower-tier programs, which were mostly against other Power Plant graduates. In 2000, Palumbo made his debut on the March 22, 2000 edition of WCW Thunder under his real name Chuck Palumbo and losing to Scott Steiner. Palumbo showed talent and charisma, and was chosen by Eric Bischoff & Vince Russo to be the New Blood's version of Lex Luger in May 2000. He was given the nickname "The Main Event".
Palumbo would go on to feud with Lex Luger until late May, 2000 when Palumbo formed a team The Perfect Event with Shawn Stasiak and the pair would go on to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship together. Their main feud was against KroniK (Brian Adams and Bryan Clark). In August, Stasiak and Palumbo helped form the Natural Born Thrillers with Mike Sanders, Sean O'Haire, Mark Jindrak, and Reno. They were briefly "coached" by Kevin Nash. Johnny the Bull, a tag team partner of Palumbo later on in WWE, would also join the group following the formation.
Palumbo and Stasiak won the WCW Tag Team Title two more times before splitting in early January 2001 when he and Stasiak won a tag team battle royal with Sean O'Haire and Mark Jindrak for a future tag team title shot. After the conclusion of the match Mike Sanders declared both teams victorious and that any combination of the four would face The Insiders (Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash). Palumbo and Sean O'Haire would be the two members of the Natural Born Thrillers who would face and defeat Page & Nash for the tag titles at WCW Sin on January 14, 2001.
Following the title victory, the Natural Born Thrillers broke up when the team of Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak would become jealous of Palumbo and O'Haire. The teams would face each other at WCW SuperBrawl Revenge on February 18, 2001 for the tag team titles. Palumbo and O'Haire retained their titles, inadvertently turning face when the fans began backing the duo. The duo would also retain their titles against Totally Buff (Buff Bagwell & Lex Luger) at WCW Greed in March, WCW's last pay-per-view.
On the final episode of WCW Monday Nitro, Palumbo & O'Haire would defeat Team Canada's Mike Awesome and Lance Storm in the final WCW World Tag Team Championship title defense on the program.
Palumbo and O'Haire came into the WWF on the June 28, 2001 episode of SmackDown! as part of The Alliance. Chuck and Sean dropped the WCW Tag Team Title to The Undertaker and Kane quietly in mid-August.
Sean was sent to developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling in early September 2001, and Chuck was thrown out of The Alliance in late October by storyline co-owner of The Alliance, Stephanie McMahon after he complained he wasn't given enough air-time, so he joined the WWF in November.
