Matthew Kaye is an American professional wrestler and wrestling commentator, currently working for Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. He is better known for his time in WWE as Matt Striker. He is also an occasional actor in film.
After obtaining a Master's degree in educational psychology, Kaye began working as a high-school teacher. He also began a career in professional wrestling, and made his debut in 2000 after being trained by Johnny Rodz. In early 2005, Kaye quit his full-time teaching job at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School, when the school board found out that he had been using sick days as a way to pursue his wrestling career.
Kaye signed a contract with WWE in mid-2005, calling himself Matt Striker, and quickly developed a persona of a heel teacher. He started out on the Raw brand, where he hosted a segment known as Matt Striker's Classroom, before moving to the ECW brand in 2006. There he joined the New Breed alliance and was involved in a feud with the ECW Originals. After this, he began managing wrestler Big Daddy V until 2008.
