So do you prefer the Celtic Warrior who killed Sin Cara at MITB, Scratched a year off of Triple H's career, Fought through his losing streak with determination and dethroned Daniel Bryan as the US championship
Or
Do you prefer the Great White guy who kisses babies, hugs fat girls, and tells you to not be a bully. oh and breezed through his Winning Streak, and through sheer selfishness dethroned Daniel Bryan as the World Heavyweight Championship

Celtic Warrior. Its just a better nickname. Great White sounds vaguely racist

Celtic Warrior.
Great White- both name and persona, aren't good.

Celtic Warrior, Hell, that was practically a tweener role rather than a heel one by the time Money in the Bank occured. He was just a bad-ass ass-kicker.
Now...urgh. It's a shame too as Sheamus is a great talent; he's just not cut out for being a pure bred smiley face who talks awful stories.

I don't mind Sheamus's character now... but good lord is The Great White a terrible nickname.

Great White is pretty much the worst nickname ever.
Celtic Warrior is awesome.
There's no contest.

Great White is such a stupid nickname. Unless Sheamus shaves his head and in turning heel proclaims the tenets of National Socialism as an ethos than I'd prefer Celtic Warrior.

Celtic Warrior, they probably dropped it since 'Celtic' is probably a confusing word to some Americans.

Celtic Warrior was great. He was nasty, he was brutal, he set out to injure guys and he was fun.
Great White is just dull... they seem to be trying to keep him a badass but he just comes across as more annoying douche now. Plus I can't take him seriously as a badass after he got made to look like a fool by Hornswoggle and did nothing about it.

Being of very slight Irish descent, but mostly Scottish, I do enjoy characters with a Celtic culture or lineage, or whatever.
Great white doesn't fit at all.
-Great white sharks aren't as white as Sheamus, only their bellies.
-Yes, we get it, he's pale.
-It sounds like a nickname a white supremacist would use. And the t-shirt doesn't help either.
There's like, centuries of Irish history that one could use as part of the character, Sheamus certainly knows his history, why not go there? Why do we have to make him a generic wrestler. I'm so bad, I'm like a shark. And that's it.

Celtic Warrior. He needs to go back to bad ass heel, clean wins and an actual Celtic Warrior gimmick.

Celtic Warrior. He was an actual character. Ever since he's been 'Great White' Sheamus has been ruined. Sheamus' second WWE title run was awesome and I doubt whatever he does with the WHC will touch that. This whole face thing has just run stale since the cancellation of the Mark Henry feud.

Plus I can't take him seriously as a badass after he got made to look like a fool by Hornswoggle and did nothing about it. The Celtic Warrior injured one guy in his career, Jamie Noble, and would run from major threats like the Nexus. |

The great white doesn't even make sense. I don't consider it racist because I mean, he's white (very white, deal with it) but it still sounds silly. The Great White... what? Is he a shark or something?
