10 WWE Sidekicks Who Were A Total Liability
3. The Mean Street Posse
Shane McMahon's old childhood friends from Greenwich, Connecticut Joey Abs, Rodney and Pete Gas were supposed to be his stable of heel homies, ready to back him up in any set of circumstances. From 1999 to 2000, three badly dressed, puffy young men followed the crown prince of the WWF around like truculent lost puppies. And they were crapdaddies of the highest order.
In absolute fairness to the Mean Street Posse, words we never thought we'd use in that order, Rodney and Pete Gas weren't wrestlers: they genuinely did grow up with Shano Mac. Joey Abs was the ringer, an old friend of Matt Hardy's brought in to work when they needed actual wrestling to be done. Of course, the fact that Abs was a decidedly mediocre wrestler didn't help in the slightest but if hed been good, he would have stood out like a sore thumb, creating a new set of problems.
Had the Posse been intended as a comedy gimmick, it would have been a rousing success. There are few things funnier than a group of badly dressed rich kids, convinced that theyre hard as nails. Sadly, Shane's enforcers were in urgent need of a holiday in Selfawaria.
