[3] After receiving training from Homicide, Manny Fernandez and Magic, Mack began his wrestling career by joining the Long Island Wrestling Federation as Steve Mack, where he made his debut in a four-way elimination match against Low Ki, Chief Tango, and Ken Sweeney for the LIWF's benefit show towards the Junkyard Dog Memorial Fund.
Mack then formed a new version of La Familia with the Soundrelz, and enlisted a number of other heels to try and take the title away from Maff to no avail.
Over the next few ROH shows, Da Hit Squad began establishing themselves as a dominant force as they had been in JAPW, winning several squash matches before later feuding with teams such as The Carnage Crew and the Natural Born Sinners.
At the next show, before a match between Da Hit Squad and the Natural Born Sinners could take place, The Carnage Crew came to the ring and attacked both teams.
Upon finishing up 2005 and entering 2006, Mack competed in several singles matches and started a feud with Trent Acid, as well as forming a tag team called the Heavy Hitters with new partner Havoc.
In 2007, Mack took the summer off to rest and recuperate a knee injury before returning to the ring on July 21, 2007 with a victory alongside Havoc after they beat Wes Draven and Pinkie Sanchez.
[5] On June 27, the Hitters lost a four-way match to The Garden State Gods (Corvis Fear and Myke Quest), also involving the Voodoo Kin Mafia and DNA (Sonjay Dutt and Azrieal), for the Tag Team Title.
Mack and Havok lost the titles on October 23, 2010, to Sami Callihan and Chris Dickinson in a three-way match, which also included Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney.
