Matthew Hannan (born March 23, 1988) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Matthew Justice. Justice performs primarily on the independent circuit in the Midwest and Eastern United States.
Hannan grew up in Streetsboro, Ohio. As a child, he would enjoy watching professional wrestling. Having his father, Tom Hannan, being the coach for the football team at Crestwood High School, Matt 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 had started heading up there a few days a week.
His ring name, Matthew Justice would originate from his first name and "Justice" coming from Hannan's love for the heavy metal band, Metallica's album "...And Justice for All". The nickname "One Man Militia" would come 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 why he became a wrestler.
Hannan would debut in Pro Wrestling Ohio in an interview segment. He would soon team 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 on, Johnson would be assaulted backstage by Bender and Ballz having Justice duel against both competitors unsuccessfully in a 2-on-1 handicap match. Johnson would return a week after as Socks of Justice would defeat The Clash in a tag team match. Socks of Justice would disband for Justice would defeat Jimmy DeMarco on his own.
