Kyle O'Reilly is one of the greatest professional wrestlers to have stepped foot inside an NXT ring. He has had many great matches with the likes of Finn Balor, Adam Cole, Johnny Gargano and many more.
O'Reilly was recently involved in a superb Fatal 5-Way for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: In Your House. NXT's Best Kept Secret squared off against Karrion Kross, Adam Cole, Johnny Gargano and Pete Dunne.
Unfortunately, O'Reilly was unable to win his first singles title in NXT, losing to current champion Karrion Kross. Following the match, Kross commented, stating he had punched a hole through the Mount Rushmore of NXT.
Speaking to Robbie Fox from My Mom's Basement, O'Reilly was asked to share his Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling, and The Martial Artist had some legendary choices including Stone Cold and The Undertaker.
"Stone Cold Steve Austin of course. He's a guy who made me a superfan and made me think that this was something I have to do, just the attitude era was the coolest thing ever. I'll say Hulk Hogan just because he's iconic and he's probably my first memory related to pro-wrestling. I'm gonna say Kenta Kobashi, cause he's one of my favorite Japanese wrestlers and a guy whose matches I've studied countless times and then the guy who really captured my imagination and just made me in awe of the theatrics and presentation of what we do, would be The Undertaker. Yeah, so I'll go Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, Kenta Kobashi and The Undertaker." said Kyle O'Reilly
An interesting set of four chosen by Kyle O'Reilly. It is great to hear how each and every one of those men influenced him as a wrestler.
