SurReal
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.
