Career
Pre-WWF career
Before signing with WWF (now the WWE), Matt teamed
with "Ekmo" Fatu as The Island Boyz.
WWE career
In 2002, now called Rosey, Matt debuted on WWE TV
in with Ekmo (who was renamed Jamal) as Three Minute Warning. They were "hired"
as Eric Bischoff's assailants, attacking seemingly random wrestlers each week,
at the orders of Bischoff. The most notable events during this gimmick came when
they attacked two lesbians, after they began to bore Bischoff, and when they
crashed Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo's "wedding." Both events drew criticism
from gay & lesbian rights groups. After the wedding Rico jumped from SmackDown!
to RAW to manage the team. In June 2003, Jamal was fired from WWE, and Rosey was
forced into a singles program.
Later in 2003, The Hurricane "discovered" Rosey's
potential as a superhero, and christened him "Rosey, the Super Hero in Training"
(or the S.H.I.T.). On the July 19, 2004 episode of RAW, Rosey appeared with a
new costume, seemingly graduated to a full superhero.
On May 1, 2005, at Backlash Hurricane and Rosey
defeated La Resistance in the finals of a Tag Team Turmoil match to win the
World Tag Team Championship.
