Metehan Kocabaşoğlu, better known by his former ring nameLucky Kid, is an German professional wrestler of Turkish descent. He currently works for Westside Xtreme Wrestling, where he is known mononymously by his birth name, Metehan. He is the current wXw Shotgun Champion in his first reign. Kocabaşoğlu initially aspired to be a professional footballer, but after sustaining a knee injury, he was forced to give it up. A friend of his, Cem Kaplan, told him about the wrestling school at the German Wrestling Federation, so he trained to become a professional wrestler, making his debut in 2008. He would go on to team with Kaplan in German Stampede Wrestling, and had greater success with Tarkan Aslan, as the Young Lions, winning multiple tag team championships across the country. Billed as Aslan's storyline brother, he was nicknamed the Lucky Kid, which later became his ring name. In 2015, the Young Lions began making regular appearances in wXw, and upon their return in May 2017, they won the wXw World Tag Team Championship, aligning themselves with a new heel stable, Rise. Their reign lasted until November, as they failed to advance to the finals of the WorldTag Team League. Rise eventually split into two factions, and Lucky aligned himself with the faces. Lucky would be involved in title shots for the wXw Shotgun Championship for much of the year, but in August 2018, Aslan turned his back on him. In autumn title matches against Marius Al-Ani, Aslan and Da Mack interfered on separate occasions, costing Lucky the match. This led to both factions facing off against each with the titles on the line, at Back to the Roots, which resulted in a win for the faces. At wXw 16 Carat Gold, Lucky defeated Ringkampf's Timothy Thatcher and Axel Dieter Jr., and 2017 winner Ilja Dragunov on his way to the final, before gaing an upset victory over Walter. He would remain a member of Rise until September 2019, as his match at Du Entscheidest with stablemate Pete Bouncer went to a no contest, and later in the night, Bouncer and Ivan Kiev made their mark in the tag division. In October, he began teaming with Kyle Fletcher as wXw's official representatives of Schadenfreude, a stable that originated in Fight Club: Pro. In 2020, Lucky was defeated in the first round of wXw 16 Carat Gold, and turned heel on night three, changing his ring name to his birth name, while introducing a new stable, Ezel, alongside Grup Anarsi. During July, he participated in a tournament for the vacant Shotgun Championship, and defeated Hektor Invictus in the final to win his first singles title in wXw.
