The Mean Street Possie were in wwe developmental territories for a while and then just drifted off. Not sure if they are still going at it.

It's not like they were fantastic wrestlers or anything but I remember at the time when that storyline was being aired, I found that I was a lot like them. I was going through a preppy phase and people at school were pretty hard on me like all of the joks, goths, and emos. I just remember that I had a lot in common with them because I'd act as if I were better than everybody else and pick on people who I saw as inferior.

A little back history on them then: Two of the three that made it on tv as character we in real life shanes friends just like it was said in the story: Pete Gas and Rodney. Joey Abs was actually an indy wrestler brought in to be the worker of teh group. Needless to say there was some tnesion from the wrestlers that Shanes friends got tv time while others didn't, so Pete and Rodney asked to work with some more of the stiffer workers to be accepted better. Such as Bradshaw and Farooq. Mick Foley has a bit on them in his second book "Foley is Good" and he also said that they asked him not to hold back on them when he gave them chair shots.

They did train to become wrestlers prior and during their time on tv so they weren't totally out it, and in all honesty I kinda licked their gimmick. It fit, it worked and it made us want to see them get their ass kicked.

And Triple H beats Batista easy.

I'm talking the world longest reining World Heavyweight Champion. JBL was WWE champ, not World Heavyweight Champion. Let's get off this topic.

Pete Gas and Rodney were legitimate buddies of Shane, and while they enjoyed the business, I believe once the Posse left TV, that was that for them.

Joey Abs was an indy worker brought in so the group could have at least one guy that could really wrestle while Gas and Rodney tried to learn and improve, didn't work so well though I don't think. Far as I know, they've all left the business, but I could be totally wrong.

H is what Batista will become ultimately, a solid worker, and talker, a guy who can have good to great matches with just about anyone, and is the "go to" man in the promotion. Triple H's antics have certainly tarnished his legacy and accomplishments, but the man did not get into the position to marry Stephanie by being a talentless hack, Triple H USED to be considered one of the greatest performers alive (and it's true, he is) until he married Steph and the net turned on him. He deserves a lot of that, but comparing the overall of H and Batista, The H is better, but I do believe Batista will one day hold the "go to" position for SD! as H does for RAW.

ACTUALLY, if we talk about ANY title held by a competitor, in ANY promotion within the last ten years (let's say from 96-06, so that we get what would be ten years currently, k?) the winner of this distinction clocks in at 1 year, 11 months (give or take) never lost his title, had to forfeit due to injury. The title was the ECW World Television Championship, the champion? Why, The Whole Fuckin' Show, Rob...Van....Dam!

Just thought I'd make the distinction so that we avoid questions from people who will be like "isn't there someone better somewhere who held a title in some company longer then JBL did?"

Outside the frame of the past 10 years, the longest reigning champion was Bruno Sammartino, who held it for 8 years. He also became the first person to hold it twice, his second reign being 2 years long. Oddly enough, he never became a Hall of Famer. I don't think the fans would approve of anyone holding a belt that long. O_O

There's gonna be a tournament on RAW starting this week to determine the number 1 contender for the WWE championship. These are the matches.

Carlito-RVD
Kane-Chris Masters
HHH-Ric Flair
Big Show-HBK

Oddly enough Edge isn't in the tournament meaning he's probably out of the title picture.

Hmmm.

This could be interesting.

Let's see if the writers can be original for a change and NOT have HHH win the title....again....

He's held the Title 10 times.

10....

Not many people win titles in their career. let alone World Titles.

I'll put my vote in for RVD. He's the most talented of the bunch.

Based on those matches, I'd say the final will probably be RVD vs. HBK.

Anyone else remember when RVD pulled out the Van Terminator for the first time back in ECW? I think everyone and Jesus(LOL) went 0_o

We need an angle where someone kidnaps HHH and Stephanie's new baby.

Throw around some potential red herrings,

Then it turns out to be Rikishi.

and we all get pissed.

Here is how long RVD held the title (exactly) to help Avie's cause.

It was for 1 year, 11 months, 18 days, 2 hours, and 42 seconds. Courtesy of ECW One Night Stand. Thanks for reminding me about that, Avie. Damn, I almost forgot all about that. Shame on me.

JBL cant even lace up Rob Van Dam's boots, if ya ask me.

RVD could destroy anyone in that locker room. Fact.

Fact 2. Undertaker is not Raiden, contrary to what the Rumble makes you think.

Oddly enough, that's what JBL said at One Night Stand, of course, we all know he was full of shit.

It's not odd about Bruno, he has said some very bad things about WWE and Vince in the past, they'd induct him if he would agree to be inducted, but he hasn't yet.

The plan I keep hearing is H/Cena...yay...I really do hope RVD wins though, and Edge finds some way to turn it into a Triple Threat, I don't think he should be punished for being successful.

I doubt that it will be the final, guys. First of all, HBK will not win since Vince is going to screw him up and set a match at WM22. Secondly, if RVD wins, it will be a face vs face at WM which is highly unlikely. I have heard a few rumors saying that WWE is going to make Masters the youngest world champion. God no! He sucks at wrestling and has almost no mic skills. I will smash the TV if WWE is retarded enough to push him to the height where he does not belong to. Considering the situation right now, the only possible winner is HHH.

But Triple H is weak now that he can't even beat Batista. Even if he cheated, Batista would come on top. Anything but Triple H or Carlito (real name Carly). Masters, Shawn Michaels or Rob Van Dam would be a good choice, at least in my opinion.

Let me join.... Please. I am a huge WWE fan. This one guy may have a good idea about old school WWF like in the 90s but I still love WWE.

Did you know Paul Bearer was in the WWE was in the wrestling bitniz since the 60s

Theflyingmonkey you are # 181. just don't go crazy with the pics

And if you want to join, AngleSlamX, just ask.

It is strange that Edge isn't mentioned. maybe he has another re-match.

Sorry about that,

Was'nt under the impression that i needed to ask to post but....

"submits application for employment"

Its being reported that there might be another Money in the Bank ladder match at Wrestlemania. Seeing as how Edge isn't in the RAW tournament he would probably be in this match again.

This may be abit off topic but I just figured out that HHH's finisher is obviously a normal Facebuster but its also a neckbreaker because when the head hits first it torques the neck a little... Anyways I just thoguht about that now.. And I was also wondering has anyone ever kicked out of the pedigree? If yes whom? Because I think no one has.

I think Batista kicked out of the Pedigree ince I remember seeing someone kick out of it before. There's been some DVD's announced for this year including one about the Austin-Mcmahon feud one about Brian Pillman-(Probably a must buy) and everybody get ready and start saving your pennies because finally the WWE is going to release the long awaited John Cena DVD. (Lomg awaited by who? I don't know).

Meh...don't you know that HHH jobbed to Batista at WM21 since WWE wanted to give Dave his first major title reign? As AngleSlamX mentioned, Hunter is a 10 times world champion. He has nothing to prove now since he is already one of the best all time. It is ok for you to like Batista, he is solid. But I really think that you should post when he get at least 7 major titles which I doubt that he will ever be able to do so. :P

Oh, Batista will have future title reigns. He's a big big big star. He's gonna get a major push as soon as he returns. Very popular. He isn't a HHH right now, but he has a VERY bright future.

Unfortunately everybody gets a huge push when they come back from injuries... HHH, HBK, Edge, and Batista will be next. Remember how predictable it was when HHH came back from his leg injury? It was obvious that he was going to win the rumble followed by the World Title. Actually, now that I think about it, the only thing that the WWE ever did that wasn't predictable is making Jericho the first ever undisputed champ. I definitely did not expect him to beat The Rock and Stone Cold in the same night.

Don't forget, the croud cheers for him much louder than the poser Cena. If you ever listen to the screams, Batista takes the cake.

LordKooler's Friday Night Smackdown review
1.Rey Mysterio segment
Rey Mysterio talks about winning the Royal Rumble and says that he dedicated his win to Eddie Guerrero. Then Randy Orton comes out and talks bad about Rey Mysterio & Eddie Guerrero. Randy Orton says that Eddie Guerrero isn't in heaven, He's in hell. That's a bad thing to say. Randy should apologize for saying that to Rey Mysterio. A match between Rey Mysterio & Randy Orton will happen at No Way Out. The winner will get a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 22.
2.MNM vs The Mexicools
MNM won at the end to retain the Tag Team Titles. Whatever happened to Christian York? He was Joey Mercury's tag team partner in ECW and in the Indy circuit when Joey Mercury wrestled under the name "Joey Matthews". Ever since York & Matthews broke up, Christian York faded into obscurity while Joey Mercury became a 3-time WWE Tag Team Champion with Johnny Nitro.
3.Lashley vs Chad Dick
Before the match, JBL says that he doesn't want to wrestle people like the Boogeyman again. After Lashley won, JBL gave Lashley the Clothsline from Hell! Will there be a JBL vs Lashley match at No Way Out?
4.Undertaker segment
Undertaker talks about what he did at Royal Rumble and talks about his match against Kurt Angle at No Way Out. Then Kurt Angle comes out and chats with the Undertaker until the lights go out. When the lights go back on, Kurt Angle is alone in the ring. Where did the Undertaker go?
5.Juniors match
Why is the Junior division back? I thought WWE got rid of it forever. But I recently read that WWE signed Super Porky to a contract. When I read it, I had a feeling that the Junior division would come back. The wrestlers looked like smaller versions of Japanese wrestling legends The Great Sasuke and Ultimo Dragon. I can't remember who won.
6.Chris Benoit vs Finlay
Booker T was injured so his substitute was Finlay. The match ended in a no contest.
7.Kurt Angle & Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton & Mark Henry
How come Mark Henry gets a main event push? The guy has zero talent. He's worse than John Cena. Speaking of Cena, I have a question to ask to the Cena haters, Do you want to see John Cena turn Heel? Or do you want to see John Cena get released? I think Angle & Mysterio won. The Randy Orton vs Rey Mysterio match at No Way Out was announced after this match. What would it be like if Mark Henry wrestled in TNA?

Pathetic....just like it is when he wrestles in the WWE.

But I don't think JBL gets the credit he deserves. And if you think I'm joking, let me tell ya something. Two years ago i was as skeptical as everyone else about JBL. But JBL has shown that he can be a top guy while, at the same time, keeping us traditional with his classic style of wrestling.

He's slow, and sloppy, not to mention the retarded shit that comes out of his mouth (which he actually seems to believe) make me not like the guy. He seems to think sucking Vince's cock till he got ONE title reign for nine months (a combination of stupidity, and not having anybody else they wanted to put the belt on) suddenly makes him a top guy who can criticize the crap out of everyone else and the way things are.

I mean, come on. It's the embodiment of 80's wrestling with a few powerbombs thrown in! I mean, the last time we saw a top guy use a Clothesline as a finisher, Hitler was invading Poland!

Right, times change. What worked in the past dosen't always work for now. I give him credit that he actually seems to have gotten it over that he throws a better clothesline then most other guys, but I'm sure JBL would love to use you're post as a dodge for his style. I agree that it's psychology over spots, and quality of maneuvers over quantity of moves, but JBL just stinks, and he needs to be carried. Even in the 80's, the idea was to give somebody limited (like say Hogan) a good opponent to work with who could carry him (like let's say Savage), or to just book two hyped up plodders together, where even if they had a terrible match, people believe in their gimmicks so much that they'll ignore they're lack of in-ring ability. A lot of people like the 80's, I'm not as much a fan going back and watching tapes from then now adays. Because to me the 80's come off as more about character, then talent. That's not to say there weren't some truly gifted individuals working then, there were, but most of them were mid-carders, and not in the main event mix.

Anyways, my point is JBL rocks more than you and a lot of people give him credit for Professor.

I give JBL credit for his promos, and for picking up on some of his ring work, but he's overhyped, and never should have been champion...good champions are either crap workers who have an over gimmick that makes big money (Hogan) or can work with just about anyone, and pull off at least a good match, a workhorse champion (Michaels), or sometimes you get a gift from God, and you have a champ that excels at both of these things (Austin). JBL is a pretty good mid-carder, a real staple of the SD! roster that has finally found his niche, and his voice, but I still feel he overestimates his value, and I can't entirely feel bad for his rapid fall down the card after Wrestlemania 21 after all the stupid crap he's said and done.
