Seán William (Liam) O'Neill (born January 31st, 1975) is an Irish professional wrestler better known by the ring name SurReal. He is retired from wrestling, despite his relatively young age, as the result of a serious back injury sustained in January 2006. He has made no secret of his dissapointment at the way his career fizzled out.
After moving to America from his native Ireland early in his career, SurReal was quickly able to adapt to include elements of the more smashmouth American style of wrestling into his armoury to compliment the more technical aspects of his classic European style. He spent three years in his early twenties in Japan in an attempt to take onboard some elements of their style as well. Rarely has the term 'All-rounder' been more appropriate than when describing SurReal, although the same can be said of the term 'Underachiever'.
He was last seen competing against fellow Irishman Jack Murphy in Primetime Central's GTT5 in December 2005.

Move List
Finishers
- The Jackhammer
SurReal applies a front face lock on the opponent and throws their near arm across his shoulders. He then grabs the opponent's tights and hoists them straight up in the air so they are upside down in a suplex like position, stalling in this position for as long as he can to emphasize the impact generated when he drives them down hard for the pin.
- The Manipulation
SurReal lifts the opponent so they are laying across his shoulders. He then shifts the opponent onto his right shoulder so they hang over it. Wrapping his arm around the opponent's neck he drops them head-first to the mat. Now rarely used, usually saved for supercards or used out of frustration if nothing else seems to be putting the opponent away.
- The Celtic Cross
SurReal applies a standing head scissors before spreading his arms out in a crucifix taunt before grabbing the opponent around the waist, lifting them up so they are over his shoulder. From there, he places both his arms under their arms and extends them out to the side as far as they can, before sending the opponent crashing down back first to the mat. Used even more sparingly than "The Manipulation" it's very, very rare to see SurReal performing this move now. Prior to joining the DWO this was his main finisher.
Signature Moves
- The Irish Clover
With the opponent on their back, SurReal grabs both legs and locks them into a figure four his arms, placing the opponent's straight leg into his arm pit. SurReal then steps over the opponent rolling them on their stomach as if for a Boston Crab and sits back arching back repeatedly to apply pressure in the hope of forcing his opponent into submission.
- The Easter Rising
With his opponent grounded SurReal hooks their knees under his arms, stepping over his opponent he locks in the hold arching back repeatedly to apply pressure. In recent times he has taken a liking to placing his knee in the small of the opponent’s back or occasionally pushing his knee down on the back of their neck.
- Irish Mist
Used very rarely to turn the tide when he's coming under severe pressure SurReal spits a green mist into his opponents eyes. (Only used when he is a heel)
- Beast Choker
SurReal stands behind the opponent, placing them in an inverted facelock he hooks their near arm with his free arm. He pulls them backwards and up, wrenching the opponent's neck as he drops to his back wrapping his legs around their midsection in a body scissors adding more pressure.
- Buffalo Sleeper
Lifting his opponent to sit upright, SurReal takes one of their arms and pulls it up so the arm is above the shoulder and the wrist is trapped by his elbow. With his other hand, he locks his hand around the opponent's chin. Reaching under their arm which is trapped by his elbow he grabs their other hand and pulls back, applying pressure to the opponent's neck and arm.
Other Favoured Moves
- Diamond Dust
- Pendulum Back Breaker
- Swinging Neck Breaker
- Cradle Piledriver
- Side Russian Leg Sweep
- Top Rope Swandive Headbutt
- Suplex (variations): SurReal will frequently use various different types of suplex. The most commonly used being; Gutwrench Suplex, German Suplex, Cradle Suplex, Snap Suplex, Fisherman Suplex; Northern Lights Suplex, Butterfly Suplex & Tiger Suplex. Should he execute a suplex coming off some serious momentum he will normally bridge or float-over into the pin.
