Then he can take care of Big Mike
Before he knows it, Matthew is in the middle of another midnight adventure He meets up with Tooloose the Wrecker, a wrestler who is looking for a partner Before he knows it Matthew is now called Slap Dash the Masher, and he is about to enter the ring in his first tag team fight This is no ordinary wrestling match All the wrestlers are artists, and they have the craziest costumes But during the main event, Matthew has to face the Masked Marvel, who looks suspiciously like someone Matthew knows
