Matt Fusion

Ryan Johansson better known by his ring name Matt Fusion is a Canadian Backyard Wrestler currently working for 2 The Extreme Wrestling.
Getting Started
Ryan was introduced to 2X Wrestling by fellow classmate and 2XW Wrestler, Element X. Soon after Ryan signed with 2XW along with 2 other rookies as 2XW just was forming. It was formerly known as CCW (Canadian Championship Wrestling) where they used a trampoline instead of an actual ring.

2XW (2 The Extreme Wrestling)
On 2XW's debut show Rebirth Ryan wrestled his first match under the name Hyperfusion in a dark match losing to follow rookie, Volcano after Volcano hit his finisher, Volcanic Drop (Death Valley Driver). Management was impressed so at Rebirth, Hyperfusion had his first on-camera match with out any training as he lost a 4-man elimination gauntlet to Element X who eliminated all 3 opponents, Ryan being last. The match also featured his dark match opponent, Volcano and other rookie, Cody Blair. Now going under the ring name Matt Fusion he then competed in the 2008 Riot Rumble, an over the top rope gauntlet battle royal where he entered first and lasted 8 minutes before being eliminated third out of the 8 participants. He was eliminated by Rockwall. The next Weekend War he faced off once again against Volcano this time in a #1 Contender's match for a United States Championship match at WrestleMania against then-champion, Element X. Matt got the win after special referee, Hellraiser got into an altercation with Volcano and Matt hit a super kick followed by a huge Frog Splash to get the fast 3 count.

Heel
Matt went into Hardcore Holiday 2008 debuting a much more cocky and arrogant gimmick. He teamed up with Scott Royal, the #1 contender for the World Championship to face the World Champion and United States Champion in a "WrestleMania: Champions vs #1 Contender's" match against World Champion, Matearius and US Champion, Element X. Matt and Scott went on to win the match after Scott Royal took out the ref following a chokeslam from Matearius to Matt Fusion. Scott then hit a Pedigree on Matearius meanwhile throwing Element X out of the ring and when Scott Royal woke up the ref, Matt got the pin and 3 count to win it for his team because the referee didn't see Matearius's hand on the rope. At WrestleMania 2, the PPV after Hardcore Holiday, Matt faced off against Rockwall and Cahos for the Vacated United States Championship in a ladder match, which was won by Rockwall. The Weekend War following WrestleMania, Matt Fusion and Chaos were paired up by the new GM, Hellraiser to challenge for the 2XW World Tag Team Championships against Rockwall in a handicapped match because Derek Keith was given the night off and would be stripped of his newly won World Championship if he interfered. Matt and Chaos went on to win after a BO Bomb from Chaos to Rockwall capturing Matt Fusion his first taste of gold. At Annhialation 2008, Cody Blair defeeated Matt to earn himself a World Tag Team Title shot. At Weekend War, Cody Blair teamed up with Volcano to challenge Matt Fusion and Chaos for the tag team titles but just before the match, Matt attacked Chaos and took his tag title. Matt then came down to the ring before the match began and talked about how Chaos didn't deserve to be his partner and that he never wanted Chaos as his partner. Matt then announced he had found a replacement which turned out to be Scott Royal. Matt and Scott won the match after Scott hit a Cradle Piledriver and Matt got the pin when the referee didn't see Cody Blair's foot on the rope to give Matt and Scott the win and the team the World Tag Team Titles.
