Christopher Guy (born January 25, 1973) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Ace Steel.
Steel defended the championship against Rey Mysterio Jr. in hard fought time limit draw.
He wrestled a tag team match with his former student, CM Punk, as the Hatebreed and received a small push as part of the X Division, but was used irregularly, working a handful of dates before his contract expired in October 2003.
Cabana appeared to badly injure himself after botching a moonsault to the outside of the ring, forcing Punk to wrestle the majority of the match single-handedly.
Punk, Cabana and Steel named themselves the Second City Saints, in reference to all three stable members being from Chicago.
The match had many dangerous spots including a Spear through a barbed wire board, a splash from inside the ring to the outside onto Maff on a ladder supported by the guardrails, and a kneeling reverse piledriver off the top rope through a table.
Ace Steel participated in tours to Pro Wrestling Noah wrestling the company’s owner Mitsuharu Misawa in many tag team matches as well as company legends Kenta Kobashi, Akira Taue and many others during his time there.
In 2005, Steel challenged KENTA for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship in Steamboat Rock, Iowa for World League Wrestling with Noah officials and Harley Race present.
"Trump" received the win after throwing Fudgie the Whale at Rosie's face and pinning her after a second turnbuckle "hairbutt".

[13] During the post-show conference for Revolution, All Elite Wrestling owner Tony Khan announced that Ace was working with AEW in a backstage capacity.
During the All Out post-event media scrum, CM Punk made several comments insulting Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, among others.
The Young Bucks allegedly barged into Punk’s dressing room with several others and started an altercation with Steel’s injured wife present.
