Professional wrestling career

Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling (2005–2017)

O'Reilly appeared at NWA: Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW)'s television tapings on December 23, 2005, where he and Tony Tisoy lost to Wrathchild and Killswitch.[7] In January 2006, O'Reilly was in the main event of ECCW's tenth anniversary show, teaming with Fast Freddy Funk and Kurt Sterling to defeat Michelle Starr, Johnny Canuck and Vance Nevada.[8] O'Reilly graduated from ECCW's House of Pain Wrestling School on May 29, 2006.[6] At the graduation show, O'Reilly pinned his trainer Aaron Idol.[6] He continued to appear in ECCW throughout the remainder of 2006 and early 2007. In March 2007, O'Reilly began a feud with Sid Sylum, losing to him in a "European Rounds" match on March 2, before he teamed with Veronika Vice to defeat Sylum and Nikki Matthews in a mixed tag team match the following night.[7] On March 30, O'Reilly defeated Sylum in an "I Quit" match to end the feud.[7]

In June 2007, O'Reilly entered the Pacific Cup tournament, where he faced Tony Kozina and Scotty Mac in the final and was victorious.[9] On July 21, O'Reilly defeated Ice to win the NWA Canadian Junior Heavyweight Championship.[7] He lost the championship back to Ice just six days later.[7] The following month, on August 18, O'Reilly once again defeated Ice to win the NWA Canadian Junior Heavyweight Championship for the second time, but lost it back to Ice again the same day.[7] In a rematch on August 24, the match ended in a double pin, causing the championship to be vacated.[7] As a result, O'Reilly and Ice competed in a best of five series to determine the new champion.
