Backyard wrestling tenure
Extreme Wrestling Alliance (2006-2007 Online)
 Shawn Matthews at Heatwave 2006 after defeating The Ringmaster. |
In June 2006, Shawn Matthews debuted online in trampoline federation Extreme Wrestling Alliance, which began broadcasting seasonal programming over the internet. He modelled after a new millenium Triple H in certain aspects including theme, entrance, and finishing move. At the inaugural event Heatwave, he defeated The Ringmaster in a Street Fight to win the vacant EWA Championship. Not long after vowing to maintain a lengthy periodic reign, contender Onion Jack dethroned him in 2 out of 3 Falls (4 Falls) match at Guilty As Charged, leading to a brief championship feud after a subsequent EWA intermission which almost resulted in the faltering of the federation due to the excessive violence of the event.
With disdain for Jack as champion, Matthews attempted to subdue Jack twice including lastly in a Brawl For All match involving several competitors at Rebellion which The Ringmaster won. However, he finally regained the title after turning on an ally in The Ringmaster for selfish championship reasons citing The Ringmaster for reneging on his self-rewarding instructions at Rebellion which lead to Fall Brawl in a High Wire Mayhem match. The following year, Matthews successfully 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.
