Before I ramble on information that everyone probably already knows about him, I gotta address the hair bleaching because it amuses me to no end. Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous, but you have to understand it can be amusing if noticed. The hair bleaching was a nice progression though, really it was.


Here we have the beginning when the hair was still a dark blonde.

And in this one it's a lighter blonde, but not quite noticibly bleached. It looks like it was perhaps sprayed with sun-in or something.

Finally, it's white, very very white.

Background info, Rodney worked as a mechanic before becoming a wrestler. Rodney was alongside Pete Gas as one of the original Posse members, ergo he debuted during the X-Pac feud for the European title. At Wrestlemania 2000, after weeks of attacking Crash Holly, Rodney managed to pin Sho Funaki in the Battle Royal to win the Hardcore belt for a few seconds before Joey Abs got it. Rodney is also the only Posse member without a last name. Anyone else notice this?
Rodney's favorite Wrestlemania moment: "Wrestlemania III when Vince walked out and welcomed everybody in the Pontiac Silverdome. I thought the place was gonna collapse."
