Matt Clark

Matthew Steel, better known by his ring name MC Steel, is an Australian-American e-wrestler that currently performs for Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW) on its Insanity brand. Out of character, he is an administrator on the LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia, is a co-producer for the LPW All-Stars video game, and is the co-producer for LPW the Music.

Early life
Matthew James Steel was born to David and Danielle Steel in Newcastle, Australia. His father introduced him to wrestling at a young age, where he was instantly hooked. Over time, his father grew further and further away from him, but he grew closer to his mother. When Steel turned 13, he moved to Chicago Heights with a family friend, Aaron Michaels, who shared Steel's ambition to become a wrestler, but Aaron instead chose to become a wrestling trainer. Growing up, Michaels introduced Steel to punk music.

Steel was a heavy drug user in his youth years. When Steel turned 21, he met Billy Harrison, a fellow wrestling trainee, who then had a big impact on Steel's personal decisions. Two years later, Steel and Harrison were involved in a shooting. Harrison covered for Steel, sending him to jail for 4 years, ruining his dream.

After the shooting, Steel met Katie Jones, an Australian florist, and her son Christain. Rosa turned him off alcohol and drugs, leading him on the path to recovery.

One night in Chicago, Steel went to LPW Homecoming and saw International Heavyweight Champion Drew Michaels deliver two Wicked DDTs to Sheepster. This moment was the final part on his road to recovery. Steel would then be trained by Aaron for the next 8 months upon signing with Lords of Pain Wrestling.

Rookie months
Steel signed with Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW) in August 2009. In his debut match on Insanity LIVE from Woodstock, he lost a Triple Threat match aganist Black Ada and El Gran Luchador, but was not pinned. He suffered his first pinfall loss the next show against Joe Michaels. Steel's losing streak ended after defeating Seth Omega.

After his loss to Steve Monroe at Insanity LIVE from Atlantic City, Steel was unhappy with his place in LPW, and requested a move to Inferno. But after a heated conversation with other LPW rookies, he decided to stay. In his pay-per-view debut at All-Stars, Steel, along with Dr. Wagner and Seth Omega, were defeated by Michaels, Son of Shockey, and Kafu. After the match, Omega verbally assaulted Steel and his step-son, Josh, where he challenged him to a Dog Collar match at Epic, a match that he lost after slamming Steel through the table covered in barbed wire and thumbtacks.

Revelations

 * Main article: Revelations

After a brief losing streak, Steel was taken under the wing by former opponent Joe Michaels, who had abandoned Son of Shockey and Kafu for assaulting his brother Richard Michaels at Epic. At Insanity LIVE from San Juan, Steel and Michaels, now competing under the name Revelations, defeated SOS and Kafu in a Schizos Wild Tournament Qualification match by forcing Kafu to submit to the Savior Express.

At Insanity LIVE from New Orleans, Steel and new Revelations member Richard Michaels will face Ash Strife and Villiano 187, 2 members of the Three Wise Men, as both teams were the top 2 ranked in the Schizo Wild Game, which has since been cancelled.
