Monsta Mack (born May 3, 1979) is an American professional wrestler perhaps best known for his stint in Ring of Honor with Dan "Mafia" Maff as the tag team Da Hit Squad. Mack currently performs on the independent circuit, most prominently for Jersey All Pro Wrestling, where he works as both an wrestler and an commentator.
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.
Upon making his way to Jersey All Pro Wrestling, Mack, now renamed to Monsta Mack, began teaming with Mafia and both men collectively formed a heel tag team called Da Hit Squad. The team had an immediate impact, as they managed to win their first of five JAPW Tag Team Championships in 1999 while feuding with the likes of The Haas Brothers (Russ and Charlie) as well as the Shane Twins. Soon after in 2000, Da Hit Squad continued to accumulate several championships in several other independent promotions and by 2001, they managed to hold a total of six titles between them. By 2002, they became one of the most dominant tag teams in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
