Ryan  Parmeter : (born  February  6,  1980)  is  an  American  professional  wrestler  better  known  by  his  ring  name  Conor  O'Brian.  He  is  signed  by  WWE,  under  the  ring  name  Konnor  as  part  of  the  tag  team  The  Ascension.  He  was  part  of  the  fourth  season  of  NXT,  and  earned  fourth  place  on  the  show's  fifth  season,  NXT  Redemption.

After  spending  four  years  wrestling  on  the  independent  circuit  as  Ryan  Payne  O'Reilly,  Parmeter  signed  a  WWE  contract  in  2005,  and  was  assigned  to  Deep  South  Wrestling  (DSW),  a  developmental  territory,  where  he  wrestled  as  Rough  House  O'Reilly.  He  won  the  DSW  Heavyweight  Championship  twice,  before  briefly  appearing  in  Florida  Championship  Wrestling  (FCW).  He  also  appeared  in  several  dark  matches  prior  to  Raw  and  SmackDown,  and  at  several  ECW  house  shows.  In  October  2007,  both  Parmeter  and  his  girlfriend,  Krissy  Vaine,  requested  to  be  released  from  their  WWE  contracts  for  personal  reasons.

Following  his  release,  Parmeter  took  time  off  from  wrestling,  before  debuting  for  NWA  Charlotte  in  February  2009.  In  July  2010,  he  was  re-signed  by  WWE,  and  returned  to  FCW  where  he  began  wrestling  as  Conor  O'Brian.  In  November  2010,  he  was  announced  as  a  participant  in  the  fourth  season  of  NXT.
