Kieran McGinnis

Kieran David McGinnis (born January 24th, 1987) is a New Zealand professional wrestler.

Early life
McGinnis was born in Wellington, New Zealand on January 24, 1987. He is the only child of Audrey and Desmond McGuinnis. McGinnis is of Irish ancestry through his father. Growing up, he lived a very unconventional childhood. McGinnis' father was the frontman of a hardcore punk band, and thus was never around. His parents divorced shortly after his father was caught seeing another woman. McGinnis was raised by his mother in Auckland. He attended the Dilworth School, an all-boys private boarding school. As a teenager, McGinnis was bullied and suffered from depression and low self-esteem. According to McGinnis, the school helped him to develop a sense of discipline and a strong work ethic. There, he competed on the wrestling team.

McGinnis earned a number of titles whilst in the Dilworth wrestling program. However, he wished to take it further. At the age of 16, McGinnis began training as a professional wrestler.
