Rodney Lienhardt, a renowned American retired professional wrestler, is best recognized for his appearances with WWE from 1999 to 2001 under the ring name Rodney The Posse. During his tenure, he participated in a tag team battle royal for the number one contendership to the WWE World Tag Team Championship at Armageddon 1999, leveraging his cunning by switching places with the third wrestler behind the referees' backs, thereby gaining an advantage by outnumbering the other teams three to two. Despite this advantage, the team ultimately failed to win and was the first to be eliminated.
In the early stages of 2000, the Posse repeatedly attempted to defeat Crash Holly for the WWE Hardcore Championship, attacking the champion in unconventional locations such as an airport, a circus, and his hotel room. At WrestleMania 2000 on April 2, the trio took part in a Hardcore battle royal for the Hardcore Championship. Lienhardt pinned Funaki to win the title after stunning him by throwing him into a metal fence railing, but was pinned by Abs just fourteen seconds later. Despite the internal conflicts, the Posse remained a relatively cohesive unit.
Later that year, the Posse's managers, Edge and Christian, briefly took control, accompanying them to ringside for the duration of their WWE World Tag Team Championships title match with the Hardy Boyz, offering assistance to the Posse with the proviso that they would receive a title shot if the Posse was to win. However, the Hardy Boyz thwarted the interference and retained their titles.
Subsequently, all three members of the Posse were sent to Memphis Championship Wrestling, a WWE developmental territory. On May 24, 2000, in Tunica, Mississippi, Lienhardt and Abs defeated Bull Pain and Todd Morton to win the MCW Southern Tag Team Championship. They lost the titles to The Kingpins on July 26 in Memphis, Tennessee, but regained the titles on August 12, 2000, in Jackson, Mississippi. Their second reign came to an end when they were defeated by The Dupps on October 28 in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Lienhardt was then sent to the MCW affiliate Memphis Power Pro Wrestling, where he was renamed RodRageous. He defeated Bulldog Raines to win the MPPW Television Championship on January 27, 2001, in Memphis. He lost the title to Grandmaster Sexay on February 21 of that year in Jonesboro, but regained the title just three days later in Memphis. His second reign came to an end on March 17, 2001, when MPPW severed all connection with the WWE and vacated all titles held by WWE employees. Lienhardt and the remainder of the Posse were released by the WWE later that year.
Following his release, Lienhardt briefly wrestled on the independent circuit before retiring to run a landscaping company in Glen Ridge, New Jersey.
