In 1999, Gas debuted on WWE television as a member of The Mean Street Posse. Shane McMahon’s childhood friend appeared in vignettes in the build-up to WrestleMania 15, where he watched McMahon’s victory over X-Pac from ringside.
The former WWE Superstar discussed his two-year WWE run on the latest episode of Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw. He said he genuinely expected to work for free until he was called into Shane McMahon’s office one day:
Pete Gas worked alongside Joey Abs and Rodney as part of The Mean Street Posse from early 1999 until June 2001. While Gas and Rodney were legitimately friends with Shane McMahon as children, Joey Abs was already a wrestler before joining the group.
Pete Gas wanted to help Shane McMahon
According to wrestling stats database Cagematch.net, Pete Gas’ only televised WWE win came when The Mean Street Posse defeated The Headbangers in October 1999. He competed in another 27 televised matches for Vince McMahon’s company, losing every time.
Gas added that he wanted to do a good job in WWE to prove that Shane McMahon was right to believe in him.
Gerald Brisco was a member of WWE’s management team during Gas’ time with the company. He responded to Gas’ comment by confirming that nobody ever said anything bad about The Mean Street Posse backstage in WWE meetings.
