Early Life
Matthew was born in the Royal Perth Hospital in Perth, Australia, to parents Patrick and Gillian. Matt is the eldest child of his siblings - Flynn and Jenna.

Growing up he was a keen sportsman, excelling in almost all sports he tried, though most notably Cricket, Football and Rugby. Matt was also a tremendous swimmer, competing in various iron man events in his early teens. It was here he earned the nickname 'Kai' from his friends after legendary Australian iron man Ky Hurst

At 16 Matt moved from Western Australia to Langwarrin, Victoria to live with family as he was selected to participate in an AFL development squad and sent to draft camp. He was tipped to be taken into the league the year before he would finish his High School education (2007), aged 17, however on the request of his parents he declined an offer from the Richmond Tigers, instead choosing to focus on his schooling.

Following the achievement of his VCE, Matt took a year off to travel before considering the possibilities of furthering his education. It was here, whilst visiting Las Vegas, he fell in love with wrestling all over again. Whilst enjoying a night out at the Luxor he was fortunate enough to meet professional wrestler and Las Vegas native Benji Merrick. After talking and getting to know each other Matt revealed that he had always wanted to try his hand at wrestling.

Despite having no experience whatsoever, apart from having watched a few episodes, Benji offered to give him some training and see what he could find for him. This was enough for Matt to temporarily move to Las Vegas to try and chase down his dreams. Though a return to Australia is not entirely out of the question.

Underground X
On September 16th 2011, after almost 3 months of training under Merrick, it was announced that Matt Cooper (Under the ring name 'Kai Cooper') had signed with the recently re-opened Underground X, which would be operating out of Las Vegas. Shortly after his signing it was announced that on the promotions second Blacklist event he would debut succesfully scoring a pinfall victory over seasoned opponent Jiera Bayha. The following week, he would not be so lucky, being knocked out of the Spirit Cup tournament, when Deicide would knock out Kai before making Forrest Ramey Jr. tap after a serious beating.

Following this, and luckily avoiding serious facial and head injuries, Kai returned to the ring at the fourth Blacklist event, teaming with UX's favourite son Trevin Sands to take on the purist team of Simon Sensation and the UX Undisputed Champion Cesar Salazar. After a hard fought contest Kai miraculously pulled out the victory of the UX Champion, earning himself a title shot at the Blacklist 5.

It was a tense week for Kai, and just 2 days after his 21st birthday he challenged Cesar Salazar unsuccessfully for the UX Undisputed Championship. The two put on an incredible match which sprawled throughout the Underground arena, but would eventually finish in Salazar getting the three. The following week, Kai would suffer yet another loss to Deicide and miss out on challenging Cesar once again for the Undisputed Championship.

On the Blacklist 7 it would be Deicide and Cooper one more time, however this time as partners against The Commissar and his monster HOLOKOST. Despite breaking Commissar's hand, the unlikely pairing would luck out, with Deicide taking the fall. This was just the beginning of an intense rivalry, between Cooper and HOLOKOST, branching out from the war waging between the Purists and aptly dubbed 'Hardcorists'.

In an effort to try and help two men on a losing streak Willie Williams would give Kai a break from fighting monsters to take on the Heart and Soul of UX Trevin Sands. Cooper would demolish Sands with ease. Following this match Kai would be named Captain of a team of 5 Hardcore enthusiasts to take on the Purists at Blacklist 9. The match was truly a spectacle and ended when Captain Cooper picked up the 3 count over the monster HOLOKOST.

At the Blacklist 10 there was no wrestling done for Kai Cooper, but he was still very busy. Longtime childhood friend 'Macca' decided that anything Kai could do he coulddo better, and he too picked up a victory over HOLOKOST, albeit by questionable tactics. Willie Williams would then go on to announce that at the first Blacklistof the New Year Kai would be challenging for the Uncensored Championship.
