BoboBrazil Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 There is a rumor going around Titan Towers that Pete Gas, former Mean Street Posse member, called his old friend Shane McMahon and told him he was getting the itch to get back into the business. As the story goes, Shane told him that Stephanie has complete control on the creative end now and he doesn't, so there probably wasn't much he could do. A number of people in the company have told me that Shane has largely nothing to do with the creative end of the company. 1wrestling.com
Zack Malibu Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 Posse reunion~! What, I can't be the ONLY mark...
Guest JericholicEdgeHead Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 Pete Gas?!?! Wasn't he the short pudgy one of the group that couldn't wrestle a good match to save his life?? WAIT..... he is a non wrestler, WWE will sign him and have him feud with Howard Finkel on RAW leading up to a featured match at Survivor Series. Sounds stupid but with the ways things are now it's not too far fetched.
Guest God Junior Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 "A number of people in the company have told me that Shane has largely nothing to do with the creative end of the company." Does this mean we have to hate a different McMahon for Shane's main event push?
Lightning Flik Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 "A number of people in the company have told me that Shane has largely nothing to do with the creative end of the company." Does this mean we have to hate a different McMahon for Shane's main event push? Just a little I'd say. I'd still hate it as Shane should have been there for a match to just bump for Kane and be done with it.
Zetterberg is God Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 Posse reunion~! What, I can't be the ONLY mark... You're not. Bring back the Posse!
Guest Trivia247 Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 guess there goes the hopes of the ever animated steve blackman's return.
Guest The Real Nosferatu Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 Whatever happend to Steve Blackman? I don't remember reaidng about his release, but I guess he was.
King Cucaracha Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 This is better than Coach turning heel...sure, he can't wrestle, but it's FUN FUN FUN! A Posse reunion on Raw would do no harm, because the people who'd hate it are beyond caring anyway.
Guest Trivia247 Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 Whatever happend to Steve Blackman? I don't remember reaidng about his release, but I guess he was. he gotten a release a year or so ago, he runs a Self defense school in Pennsylvania.
Guest Korrosive Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 Pete Gas desperately needs to come back just so he can run down during the 2004 Royal Rumble and smoke his face on the middle rope.
Enigma Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 I recall the two members of the Mean Street Posse who were Shane's actual friends, Pete Gas & Rodney, going to OVW and actually becoming pretty passable workers compared to what they once were. But the word is they quit wrestling when they were released from WWE so all that ability has probably rusted away.
Mecha Mummy Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 I'd also mark for a Posse reunion. If Gas wants to get back in wrestling, he should work some indy shows before he even thinks about returning to the WWE. I also heard about he and Rodney becoming decent enough workers, and I'd love to see them back in some sort of comedy jobber role.
Youth N Asia Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 I loved they Posse. They weren't great workers, but way more entertaining then the shit we're getting now.
Guest Polish_Rifle Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 What happened to Joey Abs/Venom?
Youth N Asia Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 What happened to Joey Abs/Venom? Probably let go the same time as the other two. I'm sure Vince didn't know the difference that he was actually a wrestler unlike the other two
Garth Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 I loved the Posse they had some kick ass theme music.
Aero Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 Whatever happend to Steve Blackman? I don't remember reaidng about his release, but I guess he was. he gotten a release a year or so ago, he runs a Self defense school in Pennsylvania. I just read last week that him and Ken Shamrock are going into business together. They're selling martial arts clothes. After WWF, I heard Blackman went into a career for stunts or something. Back on topic, I would love to see a Posse reunion of Shane, Pete Gas, & Rodney... no Joey Abs, though.

Guest The Real Nosferatu Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 When did Joey Abs debut as a MSP member anyway? I remember Gas & Rodney and a few other flunkies who disapeared around WM, but I don't remember Abs there.
Guest MikeSC Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 When did Joey Abs debut as a MSP member anyway? I remember Gas & Rodney and a few other flunkies who disapeared around WM, but I don't remember Abs there. Joey debuted a few weeks later. -=Mike
Guest The Real Nosferatu Posted August 27, 2003 Report Posted August 27, 2003 Wow, my memory is fuzzy, 1999 is like a giant blurr after WM until SSeries lol
Guest bort Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 id like to see abs and rodney back as a tag team, i remeber towards the end of there run in the wwf i was likin the MSP alot, abs and rodney had there backdrop/power bobm tag finisher that i liked alot.....i really like joey alot and wished that hed get hired back...anyone know if there is any heat with matt hardy with joey cuz in ewr matt doesnt like joey
Guest The Real Nosferatu Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 Maybe he stole his push from loser to jobber.
Aero Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 When did Joey Abs debut as a MSP member anyway? I remember Gas & Rodney and a few other flunkies who disapeared around WM, but I don't remember Abs there. Joey debuted a few weeks later. -=Mike I think it was somewhere around May-June 1999. Commish HBK started booking all these Union vs. Corporation matches, and ended up booking Patterson & Brisco vs. Rodney & Pete Gas. IIRC, Brisco & Patterson won that one. The next week, during a rematch, Joey Abs debuted and injured both Patterson & Brisco, who would finally return at Summerslam during the Test-Shane match.
Youth N Asia Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 Abs was added so the group would have a legit wrestler.
Adam Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 I still laugh at Foleys jokes about the Posse in 'Foley is Good' and how they told him to 'hit us really hard with the chair' when they took their first chairshots.
The Czech Republic Posted August 29, 2003 Report Posted August 29, 2003 Mean Street Posse had such cool music. It was like, "doo, da-WANK, a do wicka-wicka WOW chicka doo, da-WANK, a do wicka-wicka WOW chicka" It sounded so definitive for them (something entrance music has lost along the years) but I can't figure out why.
Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Posted August 29, 2003 Report Posted August 29, 2003 In the Hardy's book, Matt says that he and Abs were friends, but he later pissed off the wrong people, and thats why you wont see him back
