Matthew Justice

Matthew Hannan (born March 23, 1988) is an American professional wrestler, primarily performing on the independent circuit and for Major League Wrestling (MLW), where he is former one-time MLW World Tag Team Champion (with 1 Called Manders), under the ring name Matthew Justice. He is also former one-time MLW National Openweight Champion.

Hannan grew up in Streetsboro, Ohio. As a child, he enjoyed watching professional wrestling. His father, Tom Hannan, was the coach for the football team at Crestwood High School, but Justice was not interested in sports. He would play in local bands, but was looking for a different calling.

During his junior and senior years of high school, Hannan began professional wrestling when he found out about a training school in Cleveland run by a local veteran of the ring, J.T. Lightning. The school was about 25 miles from where Hannan lived so he started going there a few days a week.

His ring name, Matthew Justice, originated from his first name and "Justice" from Hannan's love for the heavy metal band Metallica's album ...And Justice for All. The nickname "One Man Militia" came from Hannan's friend and lifting partner.

He would perform in shows throughout Northeast Ohio. He would later graduate from Streetsboro High School in 2007.

He notes wrestler Rob Van Dam as an idol and the main reason that he became a wrestler.

Hannan debuted in Pro Wrestling Ohio in an interview segment. He soon teamed with Charles "White Socks" Johnson under the team name "Socks of Justice". The two defeated the team of Brian Bender and Ernie Ballz (The Clash). Later, Johnson was assaulted backstage by Bender and Ballz having Justice duel against both competitors unsuccessfully in a 2-on-1 handicap match. Johnson returned a week later as Socks of Justice defeated The Clash in a tag team match. Socks of Justice disbanded for Justice defeated Jimmy DeMarco on his own.

Eventually, Justice formed another tag team with Morty Rackem, calling themselves "Pirate Justice". The team defeated The Clash and V-Squared (Virus and Virus Grande) on multiple occasions. At the first annual Wrestlelution, Pirate Justice unsuccessfully became the first ever PWO Tag Team Champions against Jake Crist and Vincent Nothing and V-Squared. A few weeks later, Justice defeated Benjamin Boone and unsuccessfully faced against Michael Montecarlo.
