Career
Darling trained at Mike Sharpe's wrestling school in Bricktown, New Jersey. Early in his career, he tagged with Mr. Motion as Young Lust. Throughout the 1990s, Ace wrestled for the ECWA, World Wide Wrestling Alliance, PCW, and ISPW. In 1998, he won the PCW Tag Team Championship with Glen Osbourne in Reading, Pennsylvania. He was a frequent tag partner of Super Nova, as well as Devon Storm. Storm and Darling were known as The Extreme in WCW. In 1997 though the pair where little more than jobbers to bigger names. In 1998 they went to the WWF to compete in the ill fated Light Heavyweight Division but quickly left. Darling won the inaugural ECWA Super 8 Tournament. From 2002 through 2004, he was the head trainer at King Kong Bundy's wrestling school. He officially retired from wrestling on September 27, 2008.
