BoboBrazil 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JericholicEdgeHead Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest God Junior Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post 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.
