Full Blooded Italians (professional wrestling)
Full Blooded Italians or F.B.I. was a professional wrestling stable originally seen in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and later in World Wrestling Entertainment's SmackDown! brand.
In ECW
Full Blooded Italians was a comedy stable that put Little Guido alongside a black wrestler (J.T. Smith ), an obese wrestler (Val Puccio ), and two wrestlers from the southern United States (Tracy Smothers and Tommy Rich). The stable gained a cult following in ECW but not much success.
In WWE
Chuck Palumbo and Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli joined with Nunzio (Little Guido) to form the F.B.I. once more. This version initially gained little sucess and just when the group was starting to get over with the fans it was disbanded, as Chuck was sent to the RAW brand. Not long afterward both "The Bull" and Chuck were released from the WWE, leaving Nunzio on his own (he still occasionally wears trunks that say F.B.I. on them).
