Rodney Leinhardt

Early life Lienhardt was a childhood friend of Shane McMahon, the son of World Wrestling Federation owner Vince McMahon. Lienhardt and Shane attended junior high together in Greenwich, Connecticut, befriending Pete Gasparino in high school, where the trio played American football. After graduating from high school, Lienhardt and Gasparino would exercise at the WWF gym in Stamford, Connecticut. 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 ended 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, Tennessee. 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 WWF and vacated all titles held by WWF employees. Lienhardt and the remainder of the Posse were released by the WWF in June 2001.

Personal life Lienhardt is married with two daughters. After retiring from wrestling he began running a landscaping company in Glen Ridge, New Jersey.

Lienhardt is mentioned in Pete Gas's autobiography Looking at the Lights: My Path from Fan to a Wrestling Heel in 2017. The book covers stories about the Posse, in ring and outside the ring events.
