Peter Gasparino (born May 29, 1970) is an American retired professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Pete Gas. He is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation between 1999 and 2001.
In 1999, he was hired by the World Wrestling Federation along with his friend Rodney Leinhardt. Gasparino (known simply as "Pete Gas") and Leinhardt were both childhood friends of Shane McMahon, the son of WWF owner Vince McMahon. They were placed in a faction together along with independent wrestler Joey Abs. The trio debuted on WWF television in March 1999 as the "Mean Street Posse" (in reference to Shane growing up on the 'mean streets' of Greenwich), and began assisting Shane in his feud with Test and helping him retain the European Championship. Shane eventually turned into a fan favorite and briefly feuded with his erstwhile allies before leaving WWF television.
The Posse took part in a tag team battle royal for the number one contenderships to the Tag Team Championship at Armageddon. They gained an advantage by switching places with the third wrestler behind the referees' backs, thus enabling them to outnumber the other teams three to two. Despite this advantage, they failed to win.
