Matthew Kaye (born June 26, 1974) is an American professional wrestler, professional wrestling commentator, and former high school teacher, using the ring name Matt Striker.
He provides English commentary for Lucha Libre AAA World Wide (AAA) pay-per-view (PPV) events in Mexico.
He also wrestles on the United States independent circuit.
He is best known for his time in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as both a wrestler and commentator.
He also recently has done commentary for Lucha Underground and Major League Wrestling.
He was once ranked #166 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Top 500 wrestlers in the world.
Kaye originally worked as a high-school teacher while beginning a career in professional wrestling.
He joined WWE in mid-2005.
His wrestling character drew inspiration from his previous job, as Kaye, now calling himself Matt Striker, quickly developed the persona of a heel (villainous) teacher.
In 2008, Striker began working as a color commentator for WWE's ECW brand and then SmackDown brand.
After leaving the WWE in 2013, he worked on the independent circuit before joining Lucha Underground as a commentator.
