After graduating from high school, Lienhardt and Gasparino would exercise at the WWF gym in Stamford, Connecticut.
[1] Lienhardt (known simply as "Rodney") and Gasparino (renamed "Pete Gas") debuted on WWF television on the March 22, 1999, episode of Raw is War as part of a stable known as the "Mean Street Posse", and began assisting Shane in his feud with Test and helping him retain the WWF European Championship.
In early 2000, the Mean Street Posse repeatedly tried to defeat Crash Holly for the WWF Hardcore Championship, attacking the champion in unlikely venues such as an airport, a circus and his hotel room.
On an episode of Sunday Night Heat on October 3, 2000, Edge and Christian briefly became the managers of the Mean Street Posse.
Rodney's last televised match in WWF was a lost to Al Snow on November 27, 2000, on Jakked (aired December 2, 2000).
On May 24, 2000, in Tunica, Mississippi, Lienhardt and Abs defeated Bull Pain and Todd Morton to win the MCW Southern Tag Team Championship.
