As i was a mark back in those days, what was the deal with the mean street posse?
Were they legit friends of shane mcmahon, and if so does that mean they weren't properly trained wrestlers?? Just last night got me thinking.
Cheers

Yeah, Gas and Rodney were legit friends of Shane McMahon's. Raw Magazine had an article complete with pictures of them on the football team and at the prom.

I brought a "WE WANT PETE GAS!" sign to SummerSlam '06, but Shane didn't see it. At least I got my wish.

Joey Abs is a friend of the Hardy's. He use to wrestle in OMEGA and was a rival of them.

The old WWF magazine frequently referenced them. I now seem to recall Willie Greene as the arch-nemesis of the ASPCA. Maybe he was supposed to eat Al Snow's dog instead of the Big Bossman. Sorry no pics of Willie Greene.

They were basically jobbers with a gimmick. They played Shane McMahon's preppy friends from the Mean Streets of Greenwich. They always got freakin killed when they showed up. There were 2 things that were really cool about them to me.
1. JR would always call them "sweater vest wearing punks." I thought that was amusing.
2. One of my friends HATED the posse due to the fact that they sucked as wrestlers. I annoyed him to no end with my MSP markdom.
Check out WrestleMania 2000 for the MSP's greatest moments. Both Rodney and Pete Gas win the hardcore championship. Plus Pete Gas gets busted open the hard way bleeds like a pig.

I LOVED that gimmick. It just freaking worked.
I call for an Outsiders angle(No, not Nash ans Hall).
MSP vs. Deuce and Domino.
Sodapop and Ponyboy, anyone?

There was an interveiw they did a long time back where they said that the original idea for Joey Abs was he was going to be the tough guy of the team who the other two hid behind and was going to get a mid card push from it. but by the time he debuted, they just made him a loser like the rest of them.
Anybody remember when they went down to the developmentals to get new gimmicks? One word:
RODRAGIOUS!

One of my favorite Posse moments was the last Raw of the millenium. There was a 4-team match with Godfather & D-Lo, The Dudleyz, E & C and the Acolytes. Rodney was the ring announcer, Joey was the referee and Pete was the time keeper. The match itself lasted like 2 minutes, but had Rodney running down everyone but the Acolytes during the introductions, and then the MSP turned on the Acolytes.
No, Russo was long gone at this point.
