Backyard wrestling tenure
Extreme Wrestling Alliance (2006-2007 Online)
 Shawn Matthews at Heatwave 2006 after defeating The Ringmaster. |
In June 2006, Shawn Matthews debuted virtually in trampoline-based Extreme Wrestling Alliance that began broadcasting seasonal programming over the internet. He, however, wrestled for the federation pre-existingly. He modelled closely after a new millenium Triple H borrowing the whole theme, entrance, and finishing move package. At the first event Heatwave, he defeated The Ringmaster in a Street Fight to win the vacant EWA Championship. He shortly lost the title to Onion Jack after a 2 out of 3 Falls that extended controversially to 4 Falls at Guilty As Charged. After that event, the federation halted progress for a while.
In EWA's return, Matthews continued to pursue shots at the championship but was initially unsuccessfully. He also competed in a Brawl For All match which was a multi-competitor elimination match for the title, but lost the match when eliminated by Onion Jack, who was eliminated by The Ringmaster to lose the title. A feud had soon ignited between pre-allies, Matthews and The Ringmaster over the belt which he had turned on Ringmaster for, ending at Fall Brawl in a High Wire Mayhem match where Matthews finally recaptured the championship. The following year, Matthews defended against former TCW wrestler and now professional wrestler, Danny Danger at Reborn. Shortly, Matthews took time away from backyard wrestling after a match in another trampoline federation named Pure Skill Wrestling.
Kick Ass Wrestling appearances (2008)
In June 2008, a year later, Matthews made his acclaimed return to backyard wrestling before the merger of Kick Ass Wrestling, Backyard Championship Wrestling and Extreme Wrestling Alliance into Northeast Championship Wrestling. His days of wrestling on trampoline had come to an end. All three federations, however, did a interpromotional match at KAW Blackout 96. Noticeably, Matthews had altered his on-screen character dropping the Triple H persona and adapting his own personality by coming out in hooded shirts, red sports shorts and wrestling boots. He also wrestled at KAW Northeast Showcase, defending the EWA Championship against Ace Reed in the main event.
