I like Chuck Palumbo. He's never done anything to particularly offend or upset me. JBL has it hard for the guy, and is putting him over well. They might be pushing him a bit too fast, though, as the fans reacted better to him on Heat than they are SmackDown!. My theory is that things are actually more unclear for him on SmackDown!, because they don't know what level he is meant to be on.
They should have Palumbo break The Masterlock. The hold is still put over pretty strongly, and having a second guy break it would be a nudge towards establishing credibility for him. Whilst I'm not enjoying it in a big way, there is potential in the Chris Masters vs. Chuck Palumbo feud (more storyline potential than there is in your typical Chris Masters feud, anyway).
