Matt Anoai first entered the WWE in 2002 as Rosey, one half (with Jamal) of the tag team 3 Minute Warning. The team was originally brought in as henchman serving RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff, and they became notable very quickly for their violent run-ins and beatings of various wrestlers and non-wrestlers at Bischoff's discretion. Their attacks on various women, including Lillian Garcia, the Fabulous Moolah, and two women playing lesbians were often times shown by critics of professional wrestling on various media outlets. The 3 Minute Warning act died out in 2003 when Rosey's partner, Jamal, was released by WWE. It was during this time that Rosey was paired with The Hurricane (Shane Helms) for some dubious and ridiculous television segments. He was put through various tests and trainings and dubbed a Super Hero In Training, often times shortened to the acronym S.H.I.T. (yes, this really happened). A few of the memorable segments, which admittedly were quite funny, involved Rosey helping an old lady cross a street, changing into an outfit in a phone booth, and rescuing cats from trees. Eventually, when Hurricane had deemed him worthy, Rosey was considered to have completed his training and rewarded with a flashy new superhero-like outfit. He and Hurricane went on to tag team together until 2005, and they even captured the World Tag Team Championship on one occasion. It was a successful mid card run for both wrestlers, but looking back it would seem that so much more could have been done with this athletic big man. Instead, the segments with the Hurricane will live on in wrestling lore as both hilarious and ridiculous.
