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. To be fair, Arn Anderson called him a shark (circling an empty butthole) first.

Definitely The Celtic Warrior, which was a cool nickname, the Great White is a terrible nickname. Hell, the nickname Cole gave him on Smackdown a few weeks ago, "The Dublin Destroyer", is a much better nickname than Great White.

Celtic Warrior. He needs to go back to bad ass heel, clean wins and an actual Celtic Warrior gimmick. I actually think he should bring back his King Sheamus entrance attire.

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. The Celtic Warrior injured one guy in his career, Jamie Noble, and would run from major threats like the Nexus. Yeah... the Celtic Warrior was kind of a cowardly heel for the most part, but he did powerbomb Sin Cara through a ladder which was the kayfabe reason for his wellness strike.

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

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

Great White has reminded me of a shark but he isn't a shark, he's the damn Celtic Warrior Sheamus!!!

Got blown off, and beaten up quick when Haitch came back, but it happened.

Great White sounds incomplete to me. Even now, I hear them call Sheams "Great White" and part of my brain goes, "Great White what?"
Celtic Warrior is much better.
