Biography

Jason Arhndt, an American retired professional wrestler, is best known for his appearances under the ring name Joey Abs as part of the Mean Street Posse in the World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc. (WWE).

Arhndt's wrestling career began as a member of Matt and Jeff Hardy's Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA) in Cameron, North Carolina. He made some appearances as enhancement talent using his real name on WWE Monday Night Raw in 1994 and 1995.

In 1996, Arhndt became the first victim to receive the Stunner from Stone Cold Steve Austin on an episode of Superstars. Later that year, he teamed with Eddie Jackie to score an upset win against Steve Austin, pinning him after he was clotheslined by Davey Boy Smith.

On August 2, 1997, Arhndt was defeated by Jeff Hardy to crown the first OMEGA New Frontiers Champion.

In early 1999, Arhndt joined the WWE as Joey Abs, making his debut on the June 21, 1999 episode of Raw is War. He was part of the Mean Street Posse, a heel stable, with Pete Gas and Rodney, clad in sweater vests, loafers, and dress pants. The group was closely allied with Shane McMahon, often helping him defend the WWE European Championship throughout early 1999.

At WrestleMania 2000, each member of the Mean Street Posse won the WWE Hardcore Championship for a short while.

After being released from the WWE in early 2001, Arhndt retired from professional wrestling in the same year.
