Steel grew up a wrestling fan, watching the AWA and dreaming of one day doing what he watched on TV. Steel soon got his wish with his in ring debut in October of 1991. Steel made a name for himself throughout the country. In 1997, Steel and partner opened up Steel Domain Wrestling. It was there that Steel trained notable wrestlers C.M. Punk and international star Colt Cabana.

Steel began wrestling for WLW in 2001. In 2002 he went on to wrestle for the upstart company, Total Nonstop Action. It was there that Steel and partner C.M. Punk, who had a cup of coffee in WLW, laid the groundwork for today’s commonly known X Division. Steel also began appearing on Ring of Honor shows at this time forming an alliance with Punk as well as former student Colt Cabana. Together they became known as the Second City Saints.

In WLW Steel has won the WLW Tag Team Championships on numerous occasions. In 2004 Steel began representing WLW overseas by competing in multiple tours for Pro Wrestling NOAH. In January of 2007 Steel was brought into WWE, playing the role of billionaire Donald Trump on Raw. It was there that Steel or “The Donald” as he was called face off Rosie Donald. Seeing the natural charisma and ability to take control of a situation the WWE soon picked up Steel later that month. WLW fans are crossing their fingers at the chance to see him in a WLW ring again.
