Career

Harter began training as a wrestler in his home state of Michigan at the NWA Great Lakes Pro Wrestling School. After the school began experiencing difficulties, he travelled to Windsor, Ontario and completed his training under Scott D'Amore and Amazing N8 at the Can-Am Wrestling School. He debuted in 2000 after four months training as Chris Sabin, and began working for D'Amore's Border City Wrestling promotion and for independent promotions in Michigan.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

Sabin joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2003 as a face and immediately began competing in the X Division. On April 30, 2003, he faced Jerry Lynn and defending champion Amazing Red for the TNA X Division Championship when members of Vince Russo's Sports Entertainment Xtreme stable attacked Lynn and Red. After the match, Sabin turned heel by joining the stable. On May 25, he defeated Jerry Lynn to unify his X Division Championship with Lynn's WWA International Cruiserweight Championship. Sabin main evented the June 28 TNA pay-per-view when he unsuccessfully challenged A.J. Styles for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. His reign ended after three months when he lost to Michael Shane in the first ever Ultimate X match on August 20.

On September 3 of that year, Sabin won the 2003 Super X Cup, thus becoming the number one contender to the X Division Championship. He regained the X Division Championship on January 7, 2004, defeating Shane, Christopher Daniels and Low-Ki in the second Ultimate X match. He was stripped of the title on March 26, 2004 after a knee injury left him unable to defend it.

After returning from injury, Sabin took part in the World's X Cup, forming Team America with Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper. On May 26, Team America defeated Team Mexico, Team Canada and Team Japan in a two hour pay-per-view event which saw the teams fight one another in a variety of matches. The finals saw Sabin wrestle the Canadian Petey Williams and the Mexican Héctor Garza in an Ultimate X match, which Sabin won when he retrieved a large red "X" which had been suspended above the ring on steel cables.

Throughout the remainder of 2004 and early 2005, Sabin continued to feud with Michael Shane, by now wrestling as Matt Bentley. In September 2005 he began a feud with Shocker.
