[edit] Professional wrestling career
Ahrndt began his career as a member of Matt and Jeff Hardy's Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA) in Cameron, North Carolina. On August 2, 1997, he was defeated by Jeff Hardy to crown the first OMEGA New Frontiers Champion.[1]
In early 1999, he joined the WWF as Joey Abs. He was a part of the Mean Street Posse, a heel stable, with Pete Gas and Rodney, clad in sweater vests, loafers, and dress pants.[2] Although Gas and Rodney were childhood friends of Shane McMahon, Abs had a legitimate wrestling background.[2] They started off as a group from Greenwich, Connecticut of about ten people in early 1999, but then as the year went on the stable whittled its way down to three members. The group was closely allied with McMahon, often helping him defend the WWE European Championship throughout early 1999. At WrestleMania 2000, each member won the WWF Hardcore Championship for a short while.[3]
All three Posse members were briefly signed to the WWF developmental territory of Memphis Championship Wrestling (MCW), before being released from their contracts. In MCW in June 2000, Abs won the MCW Southern Heavyweight Championship from Lord Steven Regal. He, however, lost the title to K-Krush on August 19.[4]
