Early life
Born in Liverpool, England. Pinder was a rugby player when he was a kid. However, he changed his mind, and became a professional wrestler.

Independent Circuit (2007-2011)
After being trained by his friend Jason Mays, Pinder started to wrestle in England and in United States. There he was mainly a face, teaming with Mays. When Pinder was a heel, he was generally a cocky wrestler.

Atlantic-X Wrestling League (2011-2012)
Bruno de Barros signed Pinder and Mays on November of 2011.

Kyle Pinder's debut was on December 7th, at A-XWL All Action, defeating Skroll. Five nights later, at A-XWL Live!, he lost to Bruno Arnason.

After losing to Iceberg, he defeated Skroll again, some time later. On January 2nd, 2012, at A-XWL Live!, he and Jason Mays defeated Árnor Sigurdsson and Jóhann Sigurdsson. The following night, at Stacked!, they lost to Jaques Brazier and Road Rage Britain. On January 9th, at Live!, they would lose again, this time to Maximum Action Jones and M-Kick Jones. Eventually Pinder would lose in singles to The Serial. However, on January 25th, at All Action!, Pinder defeated Shane Ryan, in an upset win. But soon returned to his losing ways, losing to the Brazier Brothers in a tag team match with Jason Mays, few days later. He would also lose to Matthew Ossy, Skroll, Ashton Fiolek and Jack 2x4. And in a tag team match to Jaques Brazier and Road Rage Britain.

Pinder was supposed to join SEWA (Strong Empire Wrestling Association) (SEWA would basically be what United Wrestling League is today), with other midcard wrestlers, however SEWA never came to fruition, as A-XWL eventually folded.

After that, Pinder decided to retire from professional wrestling.

After retiring from professional wrestling, Pinder returned to rugby, and played for some amateur clubs in Scotland, until signing with Johannesburg Dragons, on March of 2014.
