Who did Sheamus tick off?

[mitchflossin]

Seriously, what are they doing with this cat? He's a beast... he's good on the mic, he draws great heat, he's good in the ring.... he looks amazing--and he's getting beat by Mark Henry, wtf???

Anyone else disappointed and wondering what on earth is the WWE thinking booking Sheamus like this? I literally laughed out loud when Cole said he's a 2-time champion and look who he's in the ring with (and lost to!)

 

[The Eighties]

I made a thread a while back about the losing streak he was on and most including myself felt it would be short term, but his stock has fallen week by week to the point he is now jobbing to a mid card jobber.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Your asking and thinking the wrong way, Sheamus is a heel and Mark is face. Sheamus for the past few weeks has been using heel tatics to beat the piss out of Mark. Now they have a match and he loses to a face after he uses heel tatics and it backfires on him? How did you think this up? Just because someone loses a match and is good on both the stick and in the ring dosen't make them getting sidelined or pushed back. It's just they don't have a storyline for him to really fit into in the Main event right now.

He still is a main event player, but maybe the E' is thinking of dropping him back a bit and having a mid carder fued with him like Del Rio and Kofi. That would work wonders to get the mid carder over and actually give Sheamus some more ring time and good matches.

 

[mitchflossin]

How did I think this up? And "just because he loses A match"....

How many matches has he won since being crowned King of the Ring, one? (I might be wrong here... but I don't think he's beaten anyone besides Henry once as of late).

Regardless... a main eventer, or perhaps former main eventer, should never lose to a Mark Henry, heel or face.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

What else is there for Sheamus to do? Every other angle/storyline is locked up, nowhere for him to go. Just because he isn't main-eventing Mania doesn't mean he's out of the picture. He's still a top guy.

Losing to Mark Henry isn't a big deal, when you consider how Miz-Ark is being booked. They're trying to make him look like an absolute monster, and even if it's not what I want to see, the intent is there. Sheamus and DB may have a match at Mania, so all is not lost. Just calm down.

 

[MoizH28]

It was probably done to set up the backstage segment with him and Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania for the title. Mark Henry is a guy the fans cans believe Sheamus losing too as well.

 

[JGlass]

I don't think Sheamus ticked anyone off. Sheamus came into the WWE on fire and has held the WWE Championship twice in his very short WWE tenure. This is just the WWE using his success to help bring more success to some guys who have had trouble breaking into the main event. He did it for Sheamus, and in all likelihood he's going to do it for Bryan.

Sheamus has already had his time on top the top of the WWE. He may not have been on top for very long, but he hasn't been in the WWE very long. This is just a temporary break for him to help make his colleagues better than to be dominating the uppermid card with nothing really to show. I anticipate Sheamus being shipped over to Smackdown during the draft, and he'll take the blue show by storm.

 

[brighamosity]

Honestly, I think WWE just considers Mark Henry's stock higher than it really is. Meaning that 10-year-old Cena fans probably really do buy into Henry's gimmick and think he's something special. Obviously we all know he's not. But little kids don't know about talent and they aren't knowledgeable to think "Mark Henry is a mid-carder. Why did Sheamus job to him?" He's big, beats people up, and we're supposed to buy it.

It's the same thing with Big Show. Big Show could win in a handicapped match versus Miz, CM Punk, Wade Barrett, Alberto Del Rio, and Dolph Ziggler all at the same time. I don't like it, but that's just the way it is in WWE. Big Man faces always look strong. Mark Henry sucks, but little kids don't know that. They just know that he's the "World's Strongest Man".

 

[bxbigshow]

I read somewhere that Kevin Dunn himself is not too high on Sheamus. So his de-push started when he "ran from" the Nexus awhile back. In a Kevin Nash interview he pointed out that moment and said that someone in WWE is not protecting his character/image.

He said if it was HHH that turned the corner (and saw Nexus), the character would run through everyone there.
If it was Taker who turned the corner, Nexus would've parted like the Red Sea.
But when your 2-time WWE Champion monster Sheamus saw them, he screamed fpr Cena and ran like a bitch.

That was Kevin Dunn's call from what I hear.

 

[scottyshowman82]

I think Sheamus can blame Brock Lesnar. Lesnar couldn't be at Mania that was the guy WWE was banking on for Taker to challenge he couldn't do it, they didn't want to go with Wade Barrett so HHH had to take the role, screwing up the Kings of Kings vs King of the Ring grudge match at Mania. Just bad luck and circumstances. Hopefully they do put Sheamus in a match with Daniel Bryan and those two young studs steal the show.

 

[dre day]

Hell yeah i am thats my dude. I would have him dismantal everybody in his way usin str8 up power 4real. but 2 me this whole raw was joke. Shameus even get my 5 year old son hope the way he whip ass but they dont use him right and thats bad henry aint shit and i hope he really hurt that guy in the next few weeks

 

[SAMBOLIEWWE]

Apparently the Observer is saying Kevin Dunn is behind the Sheamus " DE-Push".
I for one am a big Sheamus supporter. I hope that this isn't something that lasts long ( being buried / King Sheamus ) I think he has the potential to be a really big star. He has to be kept strong, because the guy is a F*cking Irish wrecking Machine. He has a different look, and is believable to be in the Main event . I'd honestly rather have Sheamus at the top rather than Morrison .

 

[GoochOwnsYou]

First of all lets not forget the reason Sheamus got to the level he got to.

Sheamus was one of those all to frequent examples of crash and burn. Its very typical when someone is pushed too fast. It happened to Jack Swagger, it happened to Randy Orton, Mr Anderson/Kennedy went from future world champion to future endevored.

Now I dont know what Sheamus did to piss off Kevin Dunn, given how little sense it makes I started thinking maybe 21-2-11 meant the return of Vince Russo.

I think the it was best said on CSR recently, the King Sheamus thing is killing him much like King Booker killed Booker T.

Now I am very high on Sheamus, once he refined his technique I got right behind him but I do have criticism on his character. I am against him getting as much mic time has he gets: not because its not good at it but because a character like that needed some mystique.

Not totally silent like Goldberg was but a character that would rather let his actions speak for him, so let him do short interviews but not so much as to go out and cut a promo.

It was probably done to set up the backstage segment with him and Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania for the title. Mark Henry is a guy the fans cans believe Sheamus losing too as well.

Speaking of that I just watched it and did Sheamus drop an F bomb!?

"You find something funny do ya?"
"Whoa take it easy man we weren't laughing at you"
"Well ya know what I think would be funny? If I ripped your head off and (f***ed?) your girlfriend"

 

[Vulture]

It could of been a hell of a lot worse, at least they didn't do the whole "royal treatment" on him like they did to Booker after he won KOTR. That was the move that destroyed that stint of Booker's WWE career in my opinion.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

How did I think this up? And "just because he loses A match"....

How many matches has he won since being crowned King of the Ring, one? (I might be wrong here... but I don't think he's beaten anyone besides Henry once as of late).

Ok also how many matches has he been apart of that have been great matches? The Jomo fude was great, both men put on great great high calbre matches in my mind. The elimination chamber was great on sunday, and he was a pretty big part of that. Look across the board, just because he isn't "winning" dosen't mean alot. Losing alot might say somthing for someone who is going out of the company, but Sheamus can play a monster heel. The E' just hasn't got a good storyline for him of late.

Regardless... a main eventer, or perhaps former main eventer, should never lose to a Mark Henry, heel or face.

Why not? Henry is a monster face, he's huge. He's "the worlds strongest man" and should be treated as that. Just because he's a jobber dosen't say he can't pull out a big power fed victory over anyone.

 

[ITALIAN NYC]

I simply believe that once the match between him and HHH was called off, WWE doesnt know what to do with him now for Mania. He was gunna have a huge match at the event to now not even knowing what hes gunna do. Bad break for Sheamus

Heh, did anyone else notice how badass DBD looked last night? As opposed to, and I quote, "such a nerd!" I realize part of that was that he was in a sports jacket with a hot Asian woman, but I really hope that if this becomes a feud with Sheamus, this is a turning point for his character. Keep the hair, Danielson!

 

[rge2010]

I like Sheamus, and while he has gotten a little stale on Raw, I think he could be a major player over on Smackdown.

I was shocked he lost to Mark Henry, beaten by Orton the week before, Morrison god knows how many times and even Santino a couple of months ago. I see him moving over to the blue side in the draft.

 

[Mustang Sally]

I read somewhere that Kevin Dunn himself is not too high on Sheamus.

Yes, I read that too, but I hope it's not so. Sheamus has had some great success while eliciting a lot of heat from the audience, so why de-push him? It's hard enough to make a star; why would they undo their own work?

Could it be that management is doing this in response to veteran wrestlers who were resentful that a young guy got pushed so early in his career? After all, they did the same thing to Drew McIntyre, who only now seems to be working his way back up. Could Sheamus be in the same boat?

Also, it could be that the company makes "deals" with individual performers who are in the midst of a push. For instance, maybe they said to Sheamus some months ago: "Let yourself get pinned by John Morrison and as a reward, we'll have you win King of the Ring." Who knows? If that logic applies, maybe they've got something in store for Sheamus like: "Get your ass kicked by a few mid-carders now and we'll take you to the top again in a program against Triple H after WM."

At any rate, I hope the guy isn't being punished for something and left to wither on the vine. He's too good for that.

co-sign...the only for shemus to have done was rekindle the HHH feud, I dont get why they didnt do it but other than that he is misplaced until after WM...

 

[Jason Scene]

When I watched Sheamus lose to Mark Henry I was like... "Fuck."

Then I kept watching and I saw that segment with Danielson.

Dare I say it, is it possible that Danielson will defend the US Championship against Sheamus at Wrestlemania?

I wouldn't mind seeing that.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I agree, I think Sheamus would do very well on Smackdown. I hope that if Triple H sticks around after WM, then he needs to finish the feud with the Celtic Warrior, but after that I reckon a change of scenery would be great for Sheamus.

An unnannounced arrival on SD with Sheamus coming through the crowd and anniallating whoever is in the ring would be shocking, and announce his arrival on the brand with a bang. I certainly see Sheamus as a main event player for years to come, and I hope that WWE don't want the guy, as he is one of the most talented new faces to come into the company in the last few years. Yes he was pushed too fast early on, but he has grown into a really important member of the roster.

 

[thats the bottom lineee]

maybe wwe were doing that to kind of push mark henry, but still, thq have noticed this and are even making him weak in a GAME

 

[WWE_Colonel]

I thought that after they penciled in Triple H vs Taker, that Sheamus and JoMo were going to go at it at WM. I honestly don't know where they are going with him at this point, but I will say that the bit with Daniel Bryan was interesting. Plus what are their plans for JoMo, if Sheamus is going to face Bryan. I honestly think that they should make the WWE Title match at WM a triple threat match with JoMo winning. I know his mic skills are weak atm, but he is a beast in the ring. Some people become main eventer's because they have good mic skills, some because they are good in the ring, and some because they are good at both. Regardless, Morrison should have already been a WWE champion, why not at WM to really catapult him to main event status.
