Sheamus was good over half the time, when he was just a dude who was like "Oi I'll foight 'em!" Sheamus was really bad whenever they tried to make him a top face by turning him into a John Cena pallet-swap and having him do dumb stuff like dropping poo poo on Del Rio's car and making bad jokes. Honestly this is the problem with WWE storytelling in a single concise example. (And weirdos on twitter apparently think the opposite is true, hence all the "no story" complaints)

The best moment in Sheamus' career was when he was giving somebody a merciless rear end-whooping on a random Raw or Smackdown, I think pretty shortly after his main roster debut. A fan at ringside was absolutely eating it up, which you knew because at some point a directional microphone had been pointed directly at the dude's mouth and never moved. So Sheamus rained blows down upon his opponent to an endless chorus of one man's crystal-clear chuckling, hooting and hollering, until the guy blurted out a line that's remained in my vocabulary ever since: "HUH-HUH, HIT 'IM AGAIN, BIG RED!" \/\/\/\/THIS GUY knows what I'm talking about!\/\/\/\/

I liked that time Sheamus first started wrestling on Raw and absolutely destroyed Jamie Noble while a guy in the crowd was picked up by the mic while over-the-top laughing about the whole thing and calling him "Big Red." "HE'S A BUM!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" efb

Directly after that aired, Willie Mack tweeted, "that [dude] dead!"

I couldn't find the footage but I know in season 3 that three skeletons fought to the death and the winner absorbed their power and became a larger skeleton wrestler.

Cavauro posted:charles barkley would have made for a fantastic manager He has one flaw though. No manager should ever be bigger than the wrestler they're representing, although I suppose some exceptions can be made, like if the person they're managing is quite wee like Leyla Hirsch or Chad Gable. As a child, Aja Kong was such a mainstream celebrity who was on TV on all sorts of shows, that I genuinely had no idea she was a wrestler.

Oh it’s better than that They had just watched Lana in total divas and the episode was over but rusev was trying to wind sheamus up and said how they were gonna watch the episode again because he missed part of it That spurred sheamus to explode with “WE’RE NOT loving WATCHING THAT SHITE” loving

Fundamentally, Sheamus' problem is that at this point in his career he'll never be able to reach the highs of his Second Life run.edogawa rando posted:As a child, Aja Kong was such a mainstream celebrity who was on TV on all sorts of shows, that I genuinely had no idea she was a wrestler. Aja is one of the greatest to ever lace boots and there were few in the history of the business to have looked as much like an absolute slayer as she did.

Yeah, but she was also funny as hell, and did not look an inch out of place on various Japanese comedy shows, where she went all in. As a little kid, I was like "oh wow, this big lady with the face paint rules," not that my opinion on her has changed.

Well, if you don’t like that stable name, maybe we need to go a little more fundamental. You know what always did well? Colors. But the NWO is dated, so let’s just call ‘em the black and whites. On second thought, maybe that would seem racial. Black and… Tan? That’s never been associated with anything bad, right?
