History: He was born and raised in Chicago, IL by his single mother. She made a life for them in a mediocre neighborhood with hardly enough money for the bills let alone anything extra. This quickly taught him to depend on himself to make it somewhere in life and instilled a strong desire in him for the better life. He was destined for a life of meritocracy and knew that he would have an uphill battle ahead of him if he wanted to make something more of himself. He excelled in high school and began to take on the cocky attitude towards his senior year as he realized he had had fought all the obstacles of his family, his neighborhood, and his life. At the age of 18 he graduated high school and received a full scholarship to Harvard. He graduated from college at the top of his class and had become even more brash, cocky, and confident than he was before. At the age of 22 he entered the world with a masters in business management and quickly made his own fortune. He climbed the corporate and was the top man in a major US company within 2 years of joining the corporation. As he looked at all he had accomplished compared to where he had come from he turned into the man he is today. At the age of 24 he had risen to the top of the company and now had all the fortunes, materialistic items, and accolades he could have ever wanted. Now knowing that he could dominate and be the best at anything he wanted to do he decided to quit and find a new career to conquer. He quit his business career while at the pinnacle and decided to pursue one of his childhood past times. He used some of the fortune he had gained to take a year traveling around the world learning from the most experienced and technically sound wrestlers alive. Now at the age of 25 he joins the IXW to once again climb to the top of a company which he is very confident he will do.

Entrance Music: Not Listening by Papa Roach
Entrance Description: After he is introduced by the ring announcer the words "The Gift" are lighted up in the middle of the ramp leading down to the ring. As the music begins to get louder a white light is shown on Matt standing at the entrance with his head down. As the music plays Matt raises his head in sync with the first I'm Not Listening Anymore lyrics. When the music busts into the second set of I'm Not Listening Anymore lyrics a huge line of explosions go off behind Matt turning the lights back on. Simultaneously as the explosions go off Matt hits his chest three times where his tattoo is and starts walking down to the ring always keeping his eyes on his opponent. He talks a little smack on his way down and never slaps any hands to ensure he doesn’t waste any time getting to the ring. When he gets down to the ring he goes up the stairs and goes to the middle of the ropes. He then flips over the ropes as explosions simultaneously go off in each corner at the same time. He then goes and stands up on each turnbuckle with his arms raised soaking in cheers or boos. After that he goes to the opposite corner of his opponent. His music dies off as he takes off his shirt and begins the match.
Description: Matt “The Gift” Hughes is a cocky young wrestler that is convinced that he is the next big thing in XVI and that no one is going to be able to stop him. He has persevered through a lot and has climbed to the top of the business world convincing him that if no obstacle has stopped him to this point then the XVI roster certainly isn’t going to stop him from reaching his goal. He does have morals and values but does not allow them to get in the way of what he must do. He will break them and do whatever it absolutely takes to reach the top and to get what he wants. . Walks around believing he is the best at everything he does knowing that he has the skills and experiences to not just talk the talk but to also walk the walk. He can be cool with people as long as they never forget that no one is as good as him and as long as they never get in his way and always walk a step behind him.
