Joshua Harter[4] (born February 4, 1982),[1] better known by his ring name Chris Sabin, is an American professional wrestler, best known for his time with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

After being trained by Scott D'Amore, Sabin debuted in 2000 for Border City Wrestling (BCW), and quickly began competing for numerous other independent promotions. In 2003, Sabin joined TNA, and quickly won the TNA X Division Championship, which he later unified with the WWA International Cruiserweight Championship. In 2004, he also wrestled for Ring of Honor. In 2005, Sabin wrestled in the UK at International Showdown for The Wrestling Channel's first anniversary at a sold out Coventry Skydome.[5] Throughout the next few years, Sabin competed mainly in TNA's X Division, until forming The Motor City Machine Guns with Alex Shelley in mid-2007.

Sabin won 14 total championships while with TNA. He is a one-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, a record 10-time X Division Champion, a three-time World Tag Team Champion with Alex Shelley, and during a talent exchange with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) a one-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion and a former Strong Openweight Tag Team Champion, also with Shelley.

Sabin also previously wrestled for Ring of Honor (ROH), where he and Shelley became one-time Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions, and has also won numerous titles on the independent circuit.
