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. 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 Rosa López, a Spainish florist, and her son Joshua. 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 trained for the next 6 months and signed 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.

After his loss to Steve Monroe, 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.
