Mathias Freeman
E-Wrestler at High Voltage Wrestling

Mathias Freeman erupted onto the e-wrestling world in December 2005 in well known E-fed, High Voltage Wrestling. Although he did lose his opening match against Puj, he did make his debut in the biggest show of the year at HVW's old mother organisation WOF; Apocolypse. His striking blows, simple technique and high flying arsenal immediately gave him recognition within the fed, but unfortunately the fed would not last out the following weeks.

Since WOF and HVW parted ways, Mathias moved to HVW and started to fight from the bottom. He strung up a number of victories over Bishop, Ghalleon, and then in an amazing achievement, along with newcomer Anastagio Armanno, gained a DQ victory over Grave Digger and Amy Chastaine of the Dark Army; the two biggest names in HVW. This lead to a bitter rivalry with the man who caused that DQ, dark army member, Faceless, who caused another DQ victory for Mathias at HVW's PPV New Horizon, by issuing a vicious beatdown using a steel chair.

The rivalry culminated in a tag match where he and Blood Reign faced off against Faceless and Blood Reigns rival, Dustin Diablo, who had just taken the HVW Continental Title from Blood Reign. Largely due to Blood Reign's efforts and Mathias taking a beating, they won the match and then it all went quiet for Mathias.

He won a match versus Trevor B, but started asking the GM Heath Lancaster for a shot at Dustin's title, due to his victory over him. He initially declined, but made instead a six man tag pitting him and Magik Spiral (Blood Reign and Odin Knyght) Vs Dustin and the Rapture Rangers. It came down to Dustin and Mathias, and although Dustin got the pin, it was enough to convince Heath, and so he booked a series of five matches for Mathias Vs Dustin, with the best of three winner taking the HVW Continental Title. To which Mathias' response was that although me may not take the gold, he promised Dustin that they would need all five matches.

The first match was booked for Mistakes and Glories, and Dustin took the series 1-0 after hardly an easy, but neither difficult match. The next match was booked for Shockwave, but Mathias managed to maintain his perfect singles record at Shockwave by beating Dustin, even if he did have to use the ropes to make the pin.

Dustin was being distracted by other things, including Amy Chastaine's quest for Grave Digger's HVW World Title, so he decided to sneak into Dustin's house and steal the Kouta, a mystical blade which sheilded Dustin's darkest secret. Although he didn't know anything more, he knew it would get his attention.

He was right, at the third match at Shockwave Dustin took back the Kouta, and after knocking him out, threatened to kill Mathias after the match was given as a DQ in favour of Freeman.

This shook up Mathias, and for the fourth match two weeks later at Meltdown, Mathias left the ring after Dustin displayed the Kouta, and knowing he didn't need to fight in order to guarantee the fifth match, he stayed away and lost by count out, drawing the series again at 2-2.

We didn't see Mathias again until Shockwave where he was booked against Kaji Fireson, who he disposed of and then went on in the same night to interfere in Dustin's hardcore bout against Pat Laba, and even though his assult was unsuccessful, it showed Dustin that he was not afraid anymore.

Testing this, Heath booked Laba and Diablo to fight the hardcore match again, this time however with the added element of Freeman to make it a 3 way. it was a brutal match, but this time Shane Cassidy came out, costing Laba the win and handing it whoever could crawl to Labs's prone body first which happened to be Dustin. Sick of the interruptions, Heath booked the four of them in a match the following Shockwave, but it was a tag match that would force Dustin and Mathias to team up. The match soon degenerated into a two way brawl with each team attempting to destroy their team mates as opposed to the other team.

It was then announced that Mathias and Dustin would next meet in their last match at Liberation a month away, and in the meantime Mathias was booked into adjacent singles matches; firstly in a non title bout against Grave Digger at Aftershock resulting in a loss that was closer than most expected, and an upset victory at Shockwave against the previous World Title holder Amadeus.

The road then came finally to end at Liberation. It was a thrilling match which saw each man kick out of each others finishing moves, including Freeman being the first ever to kick out of Dustin's Corkscrew. However when those around assumed he had nothing left he introduced his old submission finisher from his training years, and made Dustin pass out in the Black Amnesia, making Mathias the new HVW Continental Champion.

He faced opening defences against Eric Herrera at Shockwave and Kaji Fireson at HVW Last Stand, but continued to hold the gold through to Christmas 2006 break.

Having only just graduated from his rookie year, Free is still a big target for those looking to confirm his first year success as a fluke, however one by one he is convincing the wrestling world that he has what it takes, and continues to chase down his dream of the world title.
