Pete Gas recently recollected how he thought that he worked for WWE without pay until Shane McMahon told him otherwise. John Cena & Only Fans Star Rumor Leaks
Shane McMahon called Pete Gas to his office
It was back in 1999 when Gas had made his debut in WWE as a member of The Mean Street Posse. 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 star 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:
“After that first WrestleMania, he [Shane McMahon] called us [The Mean Street Posse] back in the office and he gave us those envelopes. We’re like, ‘What’s this?’ He goes, ‘It’s your pay, a**holes.’ That’s what he said. We didn’t think we were gonna get paid. We thought we were doing it for free, so for all the vignettes and all the other things we did, we got money for it. We were gonna do it for free there, we were doing them a favor. But obviously we needed the money, so it was good,” Gas said.
