Matt Cross

Matthew Capiccioni (born December 31, 1980) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring names M-Dogg 20, Matt Cross and Son of Havoc.

He currently competes on the independent circuit and Major League Wrestling.

Cross has also worked for prominent promotions such as Ring of Honor, Lucha Underground, Chikara and the short-lived Wrestling Society X.

His main gimmick is that of an adherent of the straight edge lifestyle, a culture which he follows in real life.

In 1999, he won gold medals in both the rings and the vault at the AAU Junior Olympic Games.

A fan of Extreme Championship Wrestling, Capiccioni was involved in backyard wrestling before enrolling at the Cleveland Pro Wrestling training school under the tutelage of J.T. Lightning.

Upon completing his training, he took on the ring name M-Dogg 20, and began competing on the independent circuit.

He made his Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) debut in 2002, appearing at Process of Elimination in April, and defeating Prohibition to qualify for the annual Best of the Best tournament.

At the tournament itself on June 8, M-Dogg 20 made it to the second round, where he was defeated by Trent Acid, the eventual winner of the tournament.

M-Dogg returned to CZW that September, and defeated Prohibition in a Tables and Ladders match at Ultraviolent Freedom Of Expression.

At Night Of Infamy in November, a tag team match between the team of M-Dogg 20 and Nick Mondo and the team of Acid and Johnny Kashmere ended in a no contest.

The following month, M-Dogg faced Sonjay Dutt and Ruckus in a three-way match to determine the number one contender to the CZW World Junior Heavyweight Championship, but the match was won by Dutt.

He wrestled for promotions including the Union of Independent Professional Wrestlers, where he defeated Jerry Lynn to win the vacant UIPW Championship on October 11, 2003.

He formed a regular tag team with Piscura (who wrestled as Josh Prohibition) known as Youthanazia, and the pair won Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling (CAPW)'s North American Tag Team Championship twice, Xtreme Pro Wrestling's World Tag Team Championship twice, the International Wrestling Cartel's Tag Team Championship twice, and the NWA Upstate Tag Team Championship once.

M-Dogg 20 also won the CAPW Junior Heavyweight Championship on November 9, 2003, by defeating H8 Pac.

Youthanzia also wrestled for the Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South and Jersey All Pro Wrestling in 2004.

At Best of the Best 4 on July 10, 2004, M-Dogg 20 returned to CZW, attacking CZW Junior Heavyweight Champion Sonjay Dutt and stealing his championship belt.

He attacked Dutt again at Possession in August, before he teamed with Jimmy Rave to defeat Dutt and Amazing Red at High Stakes 2: Always Bet On Black.

At Night of Infamy 3 in November, Dutt defeated both M-Dogg 20 and Rave in a three-way match.

At Cage of Death 6, M-Dogg lost to Dutt in a match for the World Junior Heavyweight Championship, forcing M-Dogg to leave the company per the pre-match stipulation.

In 2006 he made his debut for Hawaii-based promotion Action Zone Wrestling at their one-year anniversary show in a match against another indy star in Super Hentai in 2006.

The two would later return and team up at AZW's "Battleclash 2" in December.

Capiccioni, as Matt Cross, made his debut in Ring of Honor (ROH) on October 7, 2006, at Motor City Madness in a six-man mayhem match, which was won by Pelle Primeau and also involved Jimmy Rave, Shane Hagadorn, and Dave and Jake Crist.

His second appearance came the following month, when he lost to Christopher Daniels at The Bitter End.

He faced Daniels again at The Chicago Spectacular Night 1 on December 8, in a four-corner survival match, which was won by B. J. Whitmer and also included Davey Richards.

The following night, Cross and Daniels teamed together in a loss to Austin Aries and Roderick Strong.

On February 16, 2007, M-Dogg unsuccessfully challenged Josh Prohibition for the UWA Canadian Championship, in a three-match also involving Sonjay Dutt.

He defeated PUMA to win the UWA Canadian Championship at the Return of the Dragon show on July 28, 2007.

Although he missed night one of UWA Hardcore's annual GP tournament, he made a surprise return on the second night of the tournament during the main event steel cage match.

M-Dogg 20's return ultimately helped Osiris and Jerry Lynn win the match over the Prohibition Wrestling Alliance, a stable led by his former tag team partner Josh Prohibition.

As a stipulation of the match, control of the company reverted from Prohibition back to Osiris, the original owner of the company.

One month later at UWA's Return of the Phoenix event, M-Dogg 20 lost the Canadian Championship to Prohibition in a gauntlet match also featuring Rip Impact.

During November 2009, Capiccioni participated in the Hulkamania tour of Australia, using the ring name Spartan 3000 and took part in a best of three match series for a prize of US$25,000 with Shannon Moore.

Spartan won the first match on November 21, and Moore won the second on November 24.

The rubber match ended in a draw on November 26, resulting in a ladder match for the final match of the tour two days later, which Spartan won.

In 2011, Capiccioni joined the cast of the fifth season of WWE Tough Enough.

Capiccioni, of descent from the country of San Marino, participated in competitive gymnastics for ten years.

Matt returned to Hawaii and AZW in June 2011 for Anniversary Annihilation 6 where Matt took on AZW Heavyweight Champion (and 2004 Olympian) "Mr. Athletic" Jeff Cobb.

Capiccioni also wrestled for UWA Hardcore Wrestling as M-Dogg 20.

He debuted as part of the company's second show.
