So I just discovered something interesting about Kyle O'Reilly: He was my next door neighbor for a few years when we were kids. I was friends with his sister and would frequently go over to their house to play. His sister and I were a few years older than him so he was just a toddler at the time and we moved away shortly before my seventh birthday. However, our mothers still kept in contact with each other and while I was aware that he had started wrestling locally I didn't know his in-ring name which meant that I was unaware that he had moved on to bigger and better things.
The other day The Vancouver Sun had an article about his recent TNT Championship match with Adam Copeland and they listed his given name of Kyle Greenwood and mentioned that he was from the Vancouver area. When they mentioned his mother, Janie, I knew it was him. I was very sad to read that his mother passed away a few years ago as she was a very sweet lady.
In my 41.5 years on this planet this is probably only the third or fourth time my mouth has dropped open in shock (Bubba Ray Dudley's Heatwave'99 promo is another instance). All this time I've been using his ROH card and not knowing that he used to live right next door to me.
MY MIND IS OFFICIALLY BLOWN!🤯
