[OFFICIAL] Sheamus as the WWE Champion Thread

[knockaroundguy13]

I am starting to take him a little more seriously, but I think he's got alot more to prove in order for me to buy him as a legitimate world champion. Yes the dominant wins over top names is helping his profile, and his mic work is fairly decent, I think he needs to be put in a long term feud with someone like Triple H or Orton or someone who has been in the main event for a while to really build his stock, and make him appear to be a real threat in the business.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Ye and THe Fireman's Carry is so painfull when Cena doest it pfff...at least Sheamus runs with the damn thing and throws a bit.Doesnt look so devastating but looks much better than what cena has.OR Dont fucking tell me ( I LOVE EDGe btw ) Edge's spear is more devastating than the Crucifix Powerbomb.Or please got pls do not tell me that the PLAY*fucking*maker is better than that.The crucifix powerbomb SCreams main event because of how its executed.Thats the reason he changed it because that Irish Curse back breaker he did ,Although very fkn nice, screamed Mid-card-finisher.

People dont even give this guy a fucking chance if u dont like WWE dont watch it,I think in 5 years when all the veterans are about to pull the plug or are just a few left people will still complain of mega pushes or the superstars that are given normal pushes or w/e.


Stop being critics like u know everything and watch it because u love it.IF u feel ure have so many negative things to say just dont say them and dont watch WWE anymore.

Sheamus is fresh he has the best look someone can have,different voice , basically everything u want.His move set is ok,PLUS hes a fucking heel he isnt suppose to do drop kicks and have STARSHIP PAIN or sth allike as a finisher.

Onto my next idea

People ,from what i've read here, are starting to bitch a bit about the man's moveset.
WHAt the FUCK is up with that?

BATITSA : MEGA-SLOW-NO-IMPACT-SPEAR,Spinebuster,Batista Bomb,AND DO NOT FUCK DO NOT FORGET THE MEGA SUPER KICK coming from the ROPES.

CENA - I wont gO there

TRIPLE H - HMM so, VINTAGE HARLEY RACE LIKE KNEEEEEEE,CLOTHesline coming from the corner of the ring ,hmmm SPINE BUSTER,that FACE buster THAT Looks like it fucking doesnt do anything( espcially when applied to big show ),and his pedddididgreee.O and he SOMETIMES does a standin suplex ,sometimes.

Shawn Michaels - Hmm ( the man is a legend a god ,but we are talking move sets here ) well the WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO choopes, the DICK BUSTER and then the CHOPPP that takes the man down.THE ELBOW TO THE HEART that looks so ******ed as of late.and SCM.And never forget the WAM BAM my hands in your FACE coming from the ropes which leave u DEAD for a a lot of seconds BECAUSE THAT HURTS.

ORton - ( LOVE HIM btw mark mark mark ) - STOMPING,the sometimes nice dropkick , the DDT that will always happen during a serious match,and RKO,and Sleeper and other holds.but im mainly refering to impact moves.

So dont ever bitch about his moves set like COMPARED to other his moveste fucking sucks or sth.And some fucking SAid that KILLSWITCH >>> CRUCIFIX BOMB? i love christian but that thing looks like it does nothing.ITs like a kinda scull crushing finale cause you cant protect your head with your hands.BUt just from looking at them u Know instantly which is better.The Irish Green WArrior-LIKE Crucifix BOmb.

You expect me to say that Cena's firemans carry is anything special? It's not, it's awful, he is even worse than Sheaums. I also agree that Edge's spear does not look very painful, he isn't a big enough guy to deliver a killer spear. I also agree that Cena and Batista both have terrible movesets. But we weren't TALKING ABOUT THEM! We were talking about SHEAMUS.

If I don't like him, I will post it 432 times per day if I want to. I am a HUGE WWE fan and have been since I was old enough to watch and understand what was going on. And in that 20 or so years, I have purchased t-shirts, ppv's, and been to live events. So because of all that, I absolutely have the right to whine and complain until my heart is content. I think Sheaums is terrible. He has no natural acting ability at all, so his promos come off terrible. When he is on the mic, I find him terribly boring.

What makes this guy special? The fact he is Irish? There have been plenty of Irish wrestlers who have used that gimmick, it's nothing new. His look? They try and play him off as some kind of monster and he ISN'T! He isn't any bigger than Cena, Triple H, or Batista. They are all big guys, Sheamus included, but he isn't THAT big of a guy. His moveset is nothing special either. He doesn't do one thing that sets him apart from the other guys, mid card or main event.

And General Karim, or whatever your name is, I am not comparing him TO ANYONE ELSE! This thread is about Sheamus, not comparing Sheamus to anyone in the world.

 

[gd]

Agreed. I wasn't big on Sheamus when he first won the title. In fact, I thought it was a pretty stupid move. Sheamus just didn't seem like someone who could be the WWE Champ to me. However, he's gotten better and better each week.

First off, great theme music is a plus. His promos have been getting better and better. "Fella" is a cool word. He looks more interesting each and every week. He's getting more time on each and every Raw. He's much more over with the fans.

There really is no reason to hate on Sheamus anymore. Sure, he isn't great in the ring, but neither is Batista or Khali, who have been champs in the past. Sheamus is just fine as a World Champion.

 

[DirtyJosé]

I've liked Sheamus since the moment I on a whim watched the TLC PPV, and marked the fuck out when Cena actually lost. Yes, even though the finish was pretty bad looking.

I was disappointed with his immediate use, as he was pretty scarce (and still kinda is, but that's another story) on Raw and still didn't work many matches. I feel though that since he stopped going against Cena on Raw and instead switched to Orton pre-Rumble, he's being better utilized (not perfectly utilized). He's finding his footing as the monster heel. He's getting more confident sounding on the mic. Even his pale skin isn't so bad, as the signs of the previous week's house shows are still visible, giving him the image of a fighting champion (not a *clean* fighting champion).

He should at least hold the belt to 'mania. Anything less would bury him and negate all of the time and effort into this whole experiment in the first place (not that, you know, that kind of behavior from WWE would surprise me or anything).

BTW, to address the Christian>Sheamus sentiment I picked up earlier in the thread, I have one thing I'd like to say.

Sheamus called Christian a "Lame Duck Champion". Christian retorted with "You know what, Snaggletooth? You're the one who's lame".

Please stop with the "Christian is so much better on the mic than Sheamus" crap. Christian deserved to lose that match on that line alone. And besides which, it was the ECW belt going against the WWE belt, WHO THE FUCK DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA WIN? (because, you know, there's a history of WWE treating ECW with respect an all...err..). Christian has his pros and cons like anyone else. I remember not too long ago when he was regarded as 2nd rate next to Edge. People need time to develop, and some people need far longer times than others.

Finally, I take this time to point out that what still keeps my eye on Sheamus (and what got me tuned in in the first place) is what he stands for. Sure, maybe he got his way in via working out with HHH, but Vince doesn't just throw the company's title on any ol' newcomer. The last time he let a young'n get anywhere near that thing for a decent run was the Orton/Batista experiment, and look how that turned out. So for a repeat, was Vince to do the exact same thing he knows how to do (maybe having Orton do some sort of Super version of Legacy), or to try another way of making a star. I like the idea of a newb being entrusted with the WWE title. I like what it stands for (actually pushing new people into the main event scene without always having to take 5-8 years or more). I only hope that he can mature enough to be relevant once this initial push is over, because I'd rather like to see how he turns out in 5 years.

I agree with all of Christian comments, but seriously, Batista a young un? The guy is about 40.

I think alot of people are hating on Sheamus for the wrong reasons and missing his plus points. Look at his promos, his music and his look. That screams Main Eventer to me. And in the ring he comes across as a tough bastard. I'm not so sure with his finisher, it takes a few seconds to do and it can't come out of nowhere for surprise finishes like Orton, Edge, Michaels to name a few, although I hope they push his "punt" kick as Michael Cole calls it, that looks devasting and can come out of nowhere to end a match.

 

[The Doctor]

I don't forget that Sheamus is the champ, but I do believe he's being booked very badly. The man beat Cena (in a tables match, true) and they're still not giving him near enough mic or even face time. He's your champion, so put him on TV! If you want to get him ingrained in the fan's minds, give him time to get over.

Look at The Miz. He gets good heat, and that's because he does a promo every week. The US Champion is being booked better than the WWE Champion. What's wrong with this picture?

All they need to do is give him a mic and let him work the crowd. Your champ isn't going to get heat if you don't give him the opportunity to do so. Some strong booking and Sheamus-centric storylines/feuds would be nice, too. Just give him a chance.

 

[Via Armbar]

I think his first couple weeks were the worst, and there were some moments that I forgot he was champ. And im very high on the guy.

I think the reason he hasn't had much mic time is they were just really unsure of his skills. If you've noticed the past 3 weeks his screentime has grown as well as the time he gets on the mic. They are a little more confident he can handle it now. He's shown a pretty decent improvement on the mic since his debut and seems alot more comfortable now.

His booking is another thing. Definitely could be better, but again it's improved. He cleanly went over Christian, who may not be the level of going over Taker or Trips but i still a good win. They're planning on suprising people a little bit, having him be the underdog in alot of matches but pulling out clean wins.

 

[macksstream]

Think about it, the general wrestling fans dont like him because lets face it he's a heel and they arent supposed to like him. A lot of you dont like him because he's "bland and boring" or "he has no storyline or talent" or whatever. And a heel is supposed to get people to hate him. Granted there's a few like me that like him but every wrestler has fans right?

So what do you think, is he doing a great job as a heel?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

He could use some work as a heel, he stares a bit too much. It's not intimidating and with a bit more of a shake to him he could be harnessing the spirit of The Ultimate Warrior. But overall I think he's fine. I think he's currently underrated as a worker, he's not as bad as people make out and his two singles PPV matches to date have been rather good. And much like The Great Khali, his look is intreting enough to hold my intrest despite some of the things he does badly.

 

[Барбоса]

I too think that Sheamus is doing a good job as a heel. He has harnessed the "hates everyone equally" heel very well by attacking Cena and Orton.

However, he is suffering somewhat from all the faces having their own non-title feuds and it will be a real shame should he lose the title at EC for at the moment he has no real challenger. For him to lose the title would just come out of the blue storyline wise.

Personally, I would like his storyline to be that he is the champion being ignored by everyone else. Maybe he starts to poke his nose into all the other feuds by randomly attacking DX, 'Taker, Edge, Jericho etc. This could open up new avenues for him while getting him a Mania match, for the title or not, that actually has some history to it.

Should he lose the title before Mania, he could be a candidate as the next Streak victim

 

[jayteeERA]

Well Sheamus gets little heat when hes by himself. But when someone else is involved he get a reaction but it is for the other person. I think ppl don't really care about him. Remember when he kicked Orton. There were lots of Orton chants. Last Monday on raw with Christian. They were going crazy for Christian b4 he lost. Yeah the crowd does boo Sheamus only cause WWE made him a fluke champion. He gets DQ when he defends his title. The real test with Sheamus comes after he lose the WWE title. Will ppl still care to see him? I ll give him credit he is good but not great.

He has a nice size and all. But he need to use that to his advantage and show more when wrestling. He comes off bland. He only use 2 moves. The bicycle kick & Razor's edge. I say lose the Razor's edge he doesn't look right doing it. Just keep the bicycle kick as a finisher. Add more moves he will do good. His promos are fine nothing wrong with that.

Overall as a heel I would give him a C plus. Thanks to his push to the WWE title.

 

[twentytwo]

I think he's awesome. He's got a great look and he's good in the ring. I don't understand where people get "boring and bland" from. He's my favorite up and coming heel champion since Brock Lesnar, and reminds me a bit of Umaga sometimes when Umaga was chasing Cena for the belt, and super hot.

I think the dude has a hell of a future.

 

[SickJames]

No. I cant say that Sheamus is a good heel simply because WWE has shoved him down our throats so fast we swallowed before we even got a chance to taste it

That's why. We never got to see what this guy is capable of and still I'm not impressed. You have to ease the new food down the throats of your audience to let them taste it, then close their eyes for a moment and connect with the feel goof flavor of it or they may find it disgusting as well, and then chew it up and THEN swallow it

So basically I think it's completely too soon to say he's good or great in any manner, it's too soon as his title reign was too soon and undeserved.

Sure ppl will say "Well atleast Cena doesnt have it and it's something new" but they couldve given it to Kofi, that wouldve been better, you dont just throw the title on some guy. There's a way to build someone and they are doing a fine job with Drew. Sheamus is a joke, I havent been impressed with his mic work, in-ring work and there are more deserving young talent on Raw. I also agree he needs to get his own damn moves and stop stealing The Razor's Edge. I mean we wouldnt want Hornswoggle doing The Lucky Charms Elbow mimicking The Rock and help Sheamus win matches


This is worse than Michelle getting her undeserved title reign & being the first Divas Champion & the first to hold that belt AND the Womens title


Michelle only got what she got being with Taker
Sheamus only got the most undeserved push in history by working out with Triple H


damn, is the next person who shits in a stall next to The Game coming in as a rookie and winning next year's Royal Rumble or what?



(in response to the post below me:
ppl booed Sheamus in his match with Orton cause Sheamus sucks not cause he's a good heel, there's a difference, he doesnt deserve anything he's gotten.

Ex: if Hornswoggle fought Chris Jericho, the best heel today, and was "beating his ass" we'd boo Hornswoggle, doesnt mean he's a credible heel or is great at it, he sucks thus we boo what sucks)

being a heel and GETTING heat yourself is different than ppl simply booing you because you are undeserving and you suck, they know it and thus hate that they must put up with this crap.

I just see heel as Jericho, Punk those guys are great. Sheamus is far from good)

 

[Post]

Sheamus is definitely picking up steam in my eyes. His beat down of Orton gave him some new depth as a heel. I'm mean, come on, if you can be in the same ring as Orton and be the guy receiving the "boos" then that says something.

His mic work is improving and he’s developing a little more personality. I thinking getting him into some new feuds would help out a lot. I was more intrigued with his manhandling of Jamie Nobel than his title match with Cena. I wish there would have been more contact with him and Orton before their Royal Rumble match. It would have made for a better story (but it looks like WWE is trying now).

Sheamus’ accent really adds to his appeal as a heel, especially his pronunciation of “W” when he says WWE champion.

Sheamus has some other good things going that help his heel cause. He’s a redhead and it’s very easy to hate a redhead (the phrase beat you like a redheaded step child comes to mind). He can’t tan (everyone hates ghosts).

I’m interested to see where it all goes. New heels are always fun to hate.

 

[Big Daddy Fool]

Sheamus was never given a fair shot, if you ask me, by members of the IWC. When he won the battle royal for the title shot, people let out a collective moan. Despite the constant complaining about wanting new stars in the title picture people got upset because he wasn't the guy they wanted. So in return people started trolling the board whining that some guy who hasn't proved much got the chance to shine. So people closed the door on him being a credible talent never giving him a shot.

Luckily, that door has been creeping open and people are slowly starting to respect his work. The man isn't awful in the ring. He's got a nice, unique moveset that separates from the back. His bicycle kick looks devastating, the uranage backbreaker is sick, and I have always been a big fan of the Razors Edge/ Northern Lights Bomb whatever you would like to call it. I think he's a lot better on the mic then people give him credit for and he's still improving. One thing that he falls into a pattern of doing his relying too much on that angry stare. He's always showing one emotion and he might benefit from changing it up a bit. He has a look that no one in the WWE or down in FCW even compare too. He breaks from the cookie-cutter tan, brown hair, and good looking mold that most other superstars all look like. The pale skin, spiked red hair, and interesting man scaping on his face are unique to him and make him stand out amongst the crowd. I have a friend who doesn't watch wrestling much anymore and much too his shock that he was champion he was like I have never seen a guy that looks like that before, he's a scary lookin guy.

The best thing the WWE did was have him beat Christian this week, cleanly. It made him look like a credible monster and a force to be reckoned with. Christian hasn't lost a one on one bout cleanly in like 9 months and while I like many other love Christian it made Sheamus look like a million bucks. That is the correct thing to do btw. As much talent as Christian has, he's not going to be around forever and isn't someone the WWE expects to main event Wrestlemania 10 years from now. They did the right thing and made Sheamus look good because he's someone the WWE has high hopes in and want to have to carry the torch.

The only thing that bothers me about Sheamus is that the WWE americanized his name by adding the H in there. It is spelled Seamus. Sorry it bothers the irish in me.

 

[sevastra82]

One thing I really enjoy about him being a heel champion is the fact that he's doing it ALONE. When was the last time we had a heel champion that didnt involve cheating, lackeys etc?

I'm not against a heel having cronies etc (like Legacy) but I think it cheapens the heel when they constantly win over and over due to cheating etc. I think Ortons heel image has really suffered due to the fact that almost every title defense/match he had, Legacy interfered and helped him win, or get a DQ etc. Same thing happend with Edge. Lita would get involved, Hawkins/Ryder etc.

For the first time in forever, Sheamus is a champion who doesnt have lackeys. He doesnt get himself DQ'ed on purpose. Its very refreshing to see a heel who actually walks his own walk. The WWE hasnt done that in a long time with a heel champion.

 

[RVDgurl]

Fucking right Sheamus is doing a good job as a heel. In fact, I think he's doing a great job. A few months ago when he won the title, people were making the claim that he got no reaction from the crowd. I watched the match at TLC against Cena and the Slammy awards from the following night, and I have no clue where people were getting that idea. Both nights he got good reactions from the crowd and he's been steadily picking up steam ever since.

The WWE has really done very well with choosing opponents for Sheamus. First of all, I give John Cena all the credit in the world for putting Sheamus over. The short, yet effective program with Cena solidified Sheamus as a credible heel. Sheamus had a good match with Randy Orton at the Royal Rumble and an even better match-and clean pin- over Christian this past week on RAW.

 

[The Doctor]

Never really thought about it that way.

However, I'm inclined to agree with you. You have to hate heels for a reason. Oh, sure, you can talk about "X-Pac Heat", but once you get down to it, heat is heat. Sowly, Sheamus is getting more and more boos, and more and more hate/praise from the IWC. This means he's doing his job.

If he were booked better and given more face/mic time, I have no doubt he could become a main event heel that is there to stay.

I watched the match at TLC against Cena and the Slammy awards from the following night, and I have no clue where people were getting that idea.

If X doesn't like someone, he claims they enter to "crickets", despite the heat or cheers they're getting.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I've been enjoying what they've been doing with Sheamus overall. To look at him, you'd think that the WWE would go the route of the ultra intimidating monster heel. I'm glad, however, that they went with something different. Sheamus as a heel is portrayed as being sneakier and more cunning than one might think to look at the guy.

Sheamus is very underrated in my view, at least on these forums because he's not an IWC darling. If anything, I think that the Sheamus situation does a good job of showing a bit of a bias that the IWC has towards the WWE in general. For example, one of the biggest complaints you year from a large portion of the IWC is that the WWE is "predictable" or "stale". But when the WWE does something that nobody sees coming, such as Sheamus being in the title scene and actually winning it, those same people will still call the WWE stale or predictable and then start pissing and moaning about Sheamus.

If TNA were to put their world title on someone that's pretty unknown, the IWC would praise TNA for thinking outside the box, for taking an innovative risk that gets people talking, and more and more mutual dick suckery. Sometimes, I honestly think that some of the IWC are pissed at the WWE because the company not only pulled the wool over their eyes but the gamble that the WWE took looks to be paying off.

I don't agree with the comment that Sheamus has been shoved down our throats. John Cena is an example of someone shoved down our throats. I'm not hating on Cena, I'm just saying that there are times when he is definitely overexposed in my opinion. Sheamus isn't in 3 or 4 different segments a night, he has good matches and cuts some pretty good promos. Sheamus is being built up over a slow period of time and, quite honestly, I hope he manages to retain the championship at WrestleMania.

When it's all said and done, however, Sheamus is still going to receive a lot of hate from the IWC. Most of it, based on what I've seen of the guy over the past few months, is undeserved.

 

[JBK2008]

I think Sheamus came into the WWE and became champion way too fast. He was WWE Champion in under 6 months and it really did come out of nowhere. He bullied Cena for what 2 weeks or so before he won the title. Hell Lesnar was destroying everyone from the get go! Sheamus has a mean look, regardless of his skin tone, but he does stare off into the distance a lot and he sounds to simplistic on the mic. He needs to get meaner with his words and more fearsome. His actions may show it, but he he needs to say more than I'm gonna put you on the shelf or I'm gonna hurt ya!

 

[SuperKick36]

No. I cant say that Sheamus is a good heel simply because WWE has shoved him down our throats so fast we swallowed before we even got a chance to taste it

That's why. We never got to see what this guy is capable of and still I'm not impressed. You have to ease the new food down the throats of your audience to let them taste it, then close their eyes for a moment and connect with the feel goof flavor of it or they may find it disgusting as well, and then chew it up and THEN swallow it

I agree that food should be enjoyed. But sometimes, food gets cold before you can finish eating it. Some foods can't be heated back up by putting back in the microwave because it will get dry and stale.

Sometimes, the best way to enjoy a beer is to chug it down, and keep the can as a good memory.

So basically I think it's completely too soon to say he's good or great in any manner, it's too soon as his title reign was too soon and undeserved.

Sure ppl will say "Well atleast Cena doesnt have it and it's something new" but they couldve given it to Kofi, that wouldve been better, you dont just throw the title on some guy.

I also agree he needs to get his own damn moves and stop stealing The Razor's Edge. I mean we wouldnt want Hornswoggle doing The Lucky Charms Elbow mimicking The Rock and help Sheamus win matches

Drew? Really? What has Drew McKintyre (sp?) done? "Undefeated?" So was Tatanka. So are alot of new guys. He's done the same thing that Sheamus is purportedly doing; sucking up. Is Drew good? Maybe. But he's done nothing exciting at all. I'd rather see Dolph Ziggler in his place.

His Mic work is acctually pretty good. It's better than Drew's. And since when is using the Razor's edge stealing? It's not completely the same.

This is worse than Michelle getting her undeserved title reign & being the first Divas Champion & the first to hold that belt AND the Womens title


Michelle only got what she got being with Taker
Sheamus only got the most undeserved push in history by working out with Triple H


damn, is the next person who shits in a stall next to The Game coming in as a rookie and winning next year's Royal Rumble or what?

You can't use a Diva as an example. They always get stupid pushes and have dumb storylines. Gail Kim, for example.

The reason why he got the push isn't because of Triple H. If you knew anything about what goes on backstage, ALL of the guys that get a push are kissing VINCE'S ass.

Besides, HHH has even said many times that he believes in people gradually getting a push, and gaining the crowd's interest. He doesn't JUST work out with Sheamus. He works out with alot of the other new guys too. He just sees alot of potential in Sheamus.

SO QUIT SAYING that Sheamus is HHH's butt buddy or whatever.

(in response to the post below me:
ppl booed Sheamus in his match with Orton cause Sheamus sucks not cause he's a good heel, there's a difference, he doesnt deserve anything he's gotten.

People booed Sheamus because everyone loves Orton, even though they boo him.

People don't boo when they think someone's "undeserving and they suck" and they "hate that they must put up with this crap". People go to the bathroom. They sit there and they talk to their buddy about work. They go get something to eat.

Besides, didn't they make Sheamus the "undeserving" champion in the first place? Didn't he get that "fluke" win over Cena?

Don't hate on Sheamus because he's getting a push. That man works harder than alot of the guys backstage. Very few, if any, of the other new guys go to every show (ECW, Smackdown, Raw).

Sheamus is the RAW champion... and he still goes to every show when he can. Without being told. He puts up with backstage heat because of his early push, and he puts up with the ICW bitching all the time. But he still goes out to the ring and does his best, and improves every week. He asks people backstage for advice and tips... all despite the fact that's he's got the gold. That's a true champion.

 

[X]

If X doesn't like someone, he claims they enter to "crickets", despite the heat or cheers they're getting.

The fuck? Why are you singling me out, have I even commented on Sheamus in this thread at all? No. But since you mentioned me, I feel the need to post in here now.

Now, I'm not too sure what the hell you two are talking about when it comes to Sheamus' heat, because at best he's received mild heat. Fuck when he won the title he didn't get ANY heat, no, in fact he got huge CHEERS. Which he probably shouldn't be getting if he's a heel. The next night was without a doubt crickets though. I'll go find a copy of the night after TLC and I'll watch it again just to be sure.

Thus far Sheamus has been okay. They put the title on him FAR too quickly, and he hasn't been a credible champion at all as of yet, but it could be worse. His win over Christian helped, though it pissed me off as a Christian fan.

Sheamus is alright. He's decent in the ring, decent on the mic. But he's simply not world title material, not even close to it yet.

I've got no complaints about Sheamus except that he was probably pushed to the title too fast. I can understand why they did it though, what with a lack of star power and fresh storylines, they needed to do something pretty drastic. I just think it would've been cooler to see him built up similar to how WCW built Goldberg, but obviously as a heel. Send him in and dismantle the roster one by one and then give him a shot at Cena. It seems to have worked out though as Sheamus hasn't been a bust.

Sheamus is a talented wrestler with wrestling experience beyond his years. He had a great match with Goldust when it started to look like Goldust was becoming a jobber he gave Sheamus his first and only current loss. He does that bicycle kick of his devastatingly, His Uranage backbreaker is awesome and he does the Crucifix Powerbomb awesomely. I find it hard to believe that he was originally gonna be brought up to the roster as a guardian of Hornswoggle and now instead he and his best friend in real life Drew McIntyre are getting massive pushes

Another good night for Sheamus, IMO. He's the new guy in town and he's certainly helping to shake things up, in terms of the WWE Championship picture. Like him or not, he is unique. He is the first heel in a long time that is a standalone monster, i.e. no stable or manager to back him up, just his raw ability. At this stage, I cannot understand why people are still hating on the guy -- he has done a damn good job so far and he carries the title well. Would you rather it be around the waist of Cena or HHH, continuing the same boring, tired old, worn out storylines? He has basically brutalized all main eventers on Raw, i.e. Cena, Orton and now HHH.

Sheamus is great. I hope he keeps the belt all the way to Wrestlemania. He is the most credibly NEW champion that I've seen in years. I totally "dig" his brutal kick and he hits one killer powerbomb. Good job WWE.
