Sheamus.
With the name 'The Celtic Warrior' he ran away from Nexus faster than Tyson Gay and his finisher is what? Pump Kick? Even Sweet Chin Music looks more devastating than that! And WTF?! He didn't have the balls to face Nexus and was afraid of Orton. And Sheamus also has an impressive series of title defending (sarcasm):
Won the WWE Title because John Cena fell into the table.
Kept the title because he DQ'ed himself.
Kept the title because he defeated Orton by DQ.
Then he lost it at E-Chamber.
Won the WWE Title back at F4W because of the Nexus.
Kept the title on RAW because of Nexus.
Kept the title at Money in the Bank because of Nexus.
Keep the title at Summerslam because of...DQ.
This is WWE's way of building a dominant monster heel?
See, I'll compare him with some other successful monster heels from the 1990's and see how he differs from them. One thing, though, they actually had devastating finishers and they didn't need 7 men to help them win every time because they could do it all by themselves:
1. Diesel (Kevin Nash) = Call him Big Daddy Cool or Kevin Nash, his stint in WWE as Diesel has been one of the biggest push ever; in less than one year, he won the Intercontinental belt, the Tag Team championship and the WWF World Title. He was certainly the most dominating wrestler and also one of the biggest names during The New Generation Era of Wrestling (1994-1996). He had more than an impressive size at 6'11" with 320 pounds of muscle; he also had a huge charisma, cut great promos and was so over with the fans. Over the course of being a WWE champion for more than one year, he defeated Shawn Michaels, Sid, Bret Hart, British Bulldog, Virgil, Bam Bam Bigelow, and pretty much every main eventer minus The Undertaker, who defeated him at Wrestlemania 12. And his finisher, Jacknife Powerbomb, was pretty devastating.
2. Sycho Sid = If Lesnar was the example of pain, then Sid was the example of Ruthless. Nicknamed The Ruler of The World at 6'9" and 317 lbs, he had an amazing psychotic gimmick and he was feared by all. With his reputation earned from his run with Ric Flair's Four Horsemen and his NWA World Heavyweight title won against Sting, he later managed to win the WWF Championship twice to dominate the WWE in 1996-97 and became one of the biggest names in the dawn of The New Generation Era. During his tenure in WWE, he defeated Undertaker, Bret Hart, Vader, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Goldust, British Bulldog, and Owen Hart by his vile finisher, Release Powerbomb.
3. Masked Kane = Often cited as the finest monster heel in the sports entertainment ever since the retirement of Andre The Giant, The Big Red Machine stood in 6'10" and 323 lbs. The Big Red Monster was the first to really physically dominate The Undertaker and he always been his nemesis in their feuds, when they were not together as the Brothers Of Destruction.He's the only one to have made The Undertaker look human when The Undertaker was using his Lord of Darkness Persona. After tearing the steel door of HIAC when he debuted, he took out The Undertaker before literally taking out the entire roster, defeating guys like Mankind, Vader, Stone Cold, The Rock, Big Show, Triple H, and many others. His two feared finishers, Chokeslam & Tombstone Piledriver, perfectly symbolizes his persona in three words: heartless, merciless, and fearless.
So, basically Sheamus is somewhere in between joining the ranks of legendary monster heels like Andre The Giant, King Kong Bundy, Diesel, Sid, Big Show, and Masked Kane & joining the ranks of poor excuse of monster heels like Giant Gonzales, Big Boss Man, A-Train, The Great Khali, Mark Henry, and Vladimir Kozlov.
I say, the way he's booked right now, he is closer to the latter. Not to mention so far he doesn't even have any legendary match despite constantly facing Triple H, Randy Orton, and John Cena. If u can't get at least a classic from those 3, then something is wrong with you. Just like Kozlov, even when he was booked against Undertaker & Shawn Michaels, the two legends couldn't even bring a half-decent match with him. Is that horrible or amazing?
or all time, Hulk Hogan. Sheamus is being pushed too much without giving decent matches. I mean, remember the days when Bret Hart or Kurt Angle were pushed - they used to give fabulous matches. This guy is yet to give one decent memorable match, forget legendary. Also, Hogan was very over-rated with almost zero wrestling skill. His matches were all about showbiz, hardly any technical ability involved in them.
