Known as The Alliance, Palumbo and O’Haire made their WWE debuts in June 2001 following Vince McMahon’s purchase of WCW. Palumbo became a two-time WWE Tag Team Champion with Billy Gunn before leaving WWE in November 2004.
By contrast, O’Haire mostly worked as a singles competitor before his April 2004 release.
Speaking on his ARN podcast, Anderson said the former WCW World Tag Team Champions did not fulfill their potential in WWE.
Palumbo is best remembered by WWE fans for his tag team work alongside Billy Gunn. O’Haire’s biggest moment came when he defeated Hulk Hogan’s Mr. America character via countout on WWE SmackDown.
Arn Anderson thinks the WWE system worked against both men
Arn Anderson worked as a WWE producer from 2001 to 2019. He has previously mentioned that WWE mistreated Sting simply because of his WCW association. With regards to Chuck Palumbo and Sean O’Haire, he thinks their links to WWE’s former rival worked against them.
Palumbo, 49, retired from wrestling in 2012. O’Haire, who returned to WWE in 2006 to compete in a one-off match against Scotty 2 Hotty, died at the age of 43 in 2014.
