Kyle O'Reilly talks about wrestling in Japan.
Kyle O'Reilly is proficient in the world of technical wrestling and as is the case with many of those performers, Kyle O'Reilly has a fondness for wrestling in Japan and wrestling in front of the Japanese audience that treats professional wrestling more akin to a real sport than North American fans.
During an appearance on The Zaslow Show, Kyle O'Reilly revealed that he hopes to go back to Japan in the near future because he feels like he left a lot on the table when he stopped traveling over o to Japan in 2017 when he joined WWE NXT.
"Wrestling in Japan was always one of my biggest goals and dreams getting into the sport. In 2014, I finally had the opportunity to go over there with Bobby [Fish] for New Japan, and just everything about it man, they treat it like it's an absolute real sport, like in the newspapers next to baseball results will be the wrestling results. The wrestlers are revered and respected by everyone. It's just a totally different culture and the crowd, it's not that they're like, quiet per se. They're just respectful and they're watching the action and they're appreciating the true sports nature of it. It's such a cool environment and I am really hoping that I'll get the opportunity to go back there because I felt like I left a lot on the table when I left in 2017. I just love everything about the country, man, the people, the culture, and the food, especially. It's just a really cool place," said Kyle.
