2.0 (professional wrestling)
Encyclopedia
2.0 is a Canadian professional wrestling
tag team
, consisting of Scott "Jagged" Parker (born Jeff Parker on March 20, 1983 in Niagara Falls, Ontario
) and Shane Matthews (born Matthew Lee in 1983 in Niagara Falls, Ontario). The team is best known for working for Chikara, where they are currently using the name 3.0, and International Wrestling Syndicate
. They have also made appearances for several other independent promotions
, including Combat Zone Wrestling
, Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South
and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla
.
–based International Wrestling Syndicate
(IWS) in June 2004. For the first six months in the promotion, Jagged and Shane Matthews worked as faces
, but on January 2005 2.0 turned heel
at a Northern Championship Wrestling
(NCW) co–promoted event with IWS. On March 26, 2005, 2.0 received their first shot at the IWS Tag Team Championship, but were unable to dethrone the defending champions the Flying Hurricanes (Kenny the Bastard and Takao) in a four–way match, which also included SLI (Marc Le Grizzly and Viking) and the Wrecking Crew (Chris Wells and Tomassino). 2.0 received a rematch for the titles on July 9, 2005, during IWS' first, and only, show at The Arena in Philadelphia, but managed to defeat the Flying Hurricanes only via countout, which meant that they didn't win the championship. This set up a rubber match for August 20, when 2.0 finally defeated the Flying Hurricanes to win the IWS Tag Team Championship.
After five successful defenses and an eight month reign, 2.0 lost the IWS Tag Team Championship to the Hardcore Ninjaz (Hardcore Ninja #1 and Hardcore Ninja #2) on June 2, 2006. Shortly afterwards Matthews tore his posterior cruciate ligament
, which would sideline him for the rest of the year and forced Jagged to go on a singles career. On September 30, 2006, Jagged defeated Player Uno
to win the IWS Canadian Championship, which he would hold for 63 days, before losing it to Dan Paysan. Matthews made his return as a face on March 24, 2007, to face Jagged in the first IWS match between the former members of 2.0. In the finish of the match Matthews turned heel and defeated Jagged, after an interference from Uncle Manny, which consequently turned Jagged face. On the following show Matthews explained that Jagged, unlike Manny, had shown no concern for him while he was out with his injury.
After missing the next couple of shows, Jagged returned on June 16, 2007, and chased Matthews and Manny out of the ring, just as they were about to attack Twiggy. However, Jagged then turned on Twiggy, reunited with Matthews and announced that at the next event they would be challenging for the IWS Tag Team Championship. On July 14 2.0 regained the IWS Tag Team Championship from the Hardcore Ninjaz, but their second reign would turn out to be a short one as on September 22, 2007, they lost the titles to the Super Smash Bros. (Player Uno and Stupefied
). 2.0 received a rematch for the titles on November 3, but were once again defeated, this time in a Two Out of Three Falls match. After multiple unsuccessful attempts at regaining the titles from teams such as Franky The Mobster
and Twiggy and Up in Smoke
(Cheech and Cloudy), 2.0 put their future as a tag team on the line in order to get one last shot at the IWS Tag Team Championship on May 30, 2009, at IWS' 10th Anniversary Show. However, in the end The Untouchables (Don Paysan and James Stone) were able to retain the titles and as a result 2.0 could no longer team in IWS.
After the break–up Matthews dubbed himself Canada's greatest athlete and started a singles career, while Jagged went on to replace injured IWS Tag Team Champion James Stone and formed the tag team The Untouchables 2.0 with former rival Don Paysan. In their first match together Jagged and Paysan lost the IWS Tag Team Championship to the Rock N' Roid Express (Franky the Mobster and Twiggy). However, both men's singles careers were cut short and the break–up stipulation was waived, when IWS announced it would hold its final show on October 9, 2010, where 2.0 would re–form to face longtime rivals the Super Smash Bros. in a tag team match. At the event 2.0 defeated the Super Smash Bros. to end their IWS careers on a high note.
) in the first round of the tournament. After taking part in a tag team gauntlet match at Aniversario Delta in May, Matthews suffered an injury that would sideline him for eight months, leaving Jagged to wrestle singles matches against the likes of Equinox
, Twiggy and Player Uno. Matthews returned to the promotion in February to team with Jagged and Young Lions Cup Champion
Maxime Boyer
as Team Canada in the 2007 King of Trios, but the team was eliminated from the tournament in the first round by the eventual winners of the entire tournament, Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw
and Shane Storm. On March 23, 2007, 2.0 picked up their first tag team victory in Chikara, defeating BLKOUT (Joker
and Sabian
). Despite being rudos, 2.0 quickly gained a cult following
due to their entertaining promos and comedic behaviour, but were unable to win another match in 21 months. Their long losing streak finally came to an end on April 25, 2009, when they defeated Incoherence (Delirious
and Hallowicked
) in a tag team match, thanks to an interference from Brodie Lee
, who was feuding
with Hallowicked at the time. However, on May 23 Incoherence defeated 2.0 in a rematch. After the loss Jagged and Matthews declared that they would give no more interviews until they were able to pick up their first point. In Chikara tag teams need three points (three straight victories) to become eligible to challenge for the promotion's tag team championship, the Campeonatos de Parejas
. This didn't take long, as the very next day 2.0 scored a victory over the Sea Donsters (Tim Donst
and Hydra). On June 12 Jagged and Matthews defeated Atsushi Ohashi and Mototsugu Shimizu
during Chikara's tour with Big Japan Pro Wrestling
in Saitama, Japan
, but failed to pick up their third point the following day, when they were defeated by Ryuichi Kawakami and Yoshihito Sasaki in Tokyo, Japan
.
(Fire Ant and Soldier Ant) on August 14, 2009, Chikara witnessed the debut of The Badd Boyz, with Jagged renaming himself Chad Badd and Matthews Brad Badd, adopting the gimmick of tough bikers, one that they had previously used in Inter Species Wrestling. Despite not trying to hide their true identities at all, The Badd Boyz were billed as a completely new tag team and there were no references made to the similarities between them and 2.0, who also kept appearing in Chikara. In their first Chikara match, The Badd Boyz defeated Fire Ant and Soldier Ant on September 12. On November 21 The Badd Boyz defeated The Future is Now (Helios
and Lince Dorado
), but on February 28, 2010, once again failed in their attempt to earn a championship match. Chikara's Director of Fun Dieter VonSteigerwalt, however, was not amused by The Badd Boyz's antics and booked them in a Loser Leaves Town match against 2.0 for March 20, 2010. The Badd Boyz won the match via countout, when 2.0 didn't show up. After the match The Badd Boyz revealed that they had been 2.0 all along and announced that from now on the new and improved version of the team would be known as 3.0. With the announcement, 3.0 turned tecnico (face), while Jagged adopted the new ring name Scott "Jagged" Parker.
and Icarus
) and followed that up with a victory over the Super Smash Bros. (Player Uno and Player Dos
) on August 28. The following day 3.0 defeated the House of Truth (Christian Abel and Josh Raymond
) to earn their third point and first shot at the Campeonatos de Parejas. Parker and Matthews received their shot at the following event on September 18, 2010, in a Chikara tradition, a Two Out of Three Falls match, against the defending champions, Ares
and Claudio Castagnoli
of the Bruderschaft des Kreuzes
(BDK). BDK won the first fall in quick fashion thanks to a pre–match assault from BDK member Delirious. However, Parker managed to tie the score by pinning Castagnoli with a flash roll–up, the first time BDK had dropped a fall in their title matches. Despite having the entire Chikara locker room by ringside cheering 3.0 on, BDK managed to win the third fall, when Castagnoli forced Matthews to submit with the Inverted Chikara Special, and retained the Campeonatos de Parejas. 3.0. earned another three points on February 20, 2011, in a four–way elimination tag team match, after eliminating Los Ice Creams (El Hijo del Ice Cream and Ice Cream, Jr.), but lost the points after being eliminated themselves by BDK members Daizee Haze
and Delirious, after a distraction from the UnStable (Vin Gerard
and STIGMA
), from whom Parker and Matthews had earned their second point the previous day. For the 2011 King of Trios, 3.0 came together with El Generico
to form ¡3.0lé!. On April 15, the team was eliminated from the tournament in the first round by The Osirian Portal
(Amasis, Hieracon and Ophidian). On May 21, 3.0 ended their three month long feud with the UnStable by defeating them in a tag team match, where the losing team had to split up.
