Even though every wrestler is quite athletic, most stick to one or two sports before wrestling at most. This is not the case for Killian Dain, because he did as many as four sports before finally ending up with wrestling.
Killian Dain, real name Damian Mackle, was the goalkeeper for his university football team. He also played rugby, basketball, and judo, so it is safe to say that the man has a genuine appreciation and love for sports.
Mackle claims he was inspired to become a wrestler by watching the Ultimate Warrior and Sting. I must say, the man has impeccable taste.
Mackle has an extremely impressive indie track record, dating all the way back to 2005. He made his professional wrestling debut at the Scottish Wrestling Alliance, aged 20. He wrestled under the name Damian O’Connor.
After the Scottish Wrestling Alliance, Mackle would wrestle for Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW), Evolve Wrestling, Revolution Pro Wrestling, Global Force Wrestling, and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Of course, after his stint in TNA, he ended up in the WWE.
Being a big sports fanatic, it is no surprise Killian Dain is also a big soccer fan. He is a lifelong supporter of Manchester United, a Premier League team. Excellent choice!
Aside from having an interest in the Premier League, Killian Dain also follows the NBA, being a fan of Orlando Magic.

Among his accomplishments, he has won the 3 Count Wrestling Tag Team Championship, Insane Wrestling Heavyweight Championship, SWA Laird of the Ring Championship, and so many other championships it is hard to mention them all here. So, I have a lot of trust in the fact that Killian Dain will make his way through WWE ranks.
Most WWE wrestlers go through several in-ring names before they get their permanent one in the WWE. The same applies to Killian Dain, who has gone through five!
