I am starting to enjoy Sheamus as a face...

[Sparkybob]

I know this will go against what most people feel about him, but I find something pretty entertaining about a babyface who is a complete douche and knows it.He just comes out and acts like a dick to people because it entertains him and the crowd loves him for it. I had a good laugh when fella brogue kicked Mark for no reason during the tug of war competition and I hope fella keeps doing more of this stuff because it's making me enjoy him as a performer.

I've always enjoyed him as a face.

It's definitely better than when he was Cena-lite. He was at his best when he first turned face and was just a badass looking for a fight, but at least they have ironed him out a bit. And dropped the Great White name.

[Lance Uppercut]

I think people don't mind a dickish face as long as he isn't all righteous. As you said, something hilarious about the fact that he knows what a huge douche he's being.

[Bear Skin Rug]

He has funnier lines than Cena. I don't mind him and the kids love him.

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

I like him too. His character is so much that he wants to be a nice and fair guy or an angry face who happens to hate heels...he's just a complete, unrepentant ass. But he's happy. He's really, really happy when he's an asshole. It's like there's nothing that could possibly make his day brighter than knowing he gets to be a dick. It's like his sole motivation for being a dick is having fun. He's borderline psychotic and it's hilarious.

Putting it that way makes a lot of sense actually. I don't like Sheamus at all, simply because he is such a dick but never loses. I'm rooting for Mark Henry as much as I was rooting for Punk at MITB a couple years ago.

[Gerard Gerard]

I ain't the biggest fan of his persona, but I dig 99% of what he does between bells.

The transitions in his promos annoy me though, it's as if he's booting-up the next bit of the script to regurgitate. Awfully stilted.
Mind, the only reason it would annoy me is if I consider his character investable in the first place, which it is, but there's always missteps.

Sheamus is so dorky I can't help but like him. Doesn't hurt that I enjoy watching him in the ring and I get the feeling he's truly having fun out there.

[mizerable]

It's a parody by this point, so the more they play up to it, the better it is.

It's only awful when they are committed to making him look like a douche and so they straddle the fence, thus making him boring.

If anything, I would prefer if they made him even more of an asshole, yet keep him face, for no reason.

[Deleted]

I'm still a huge Sheamus fan. He's still a face to me, dammit!

[The Ichi]

I don't think it even counts as douchey when the victim is Mark Henry, who is basically the biggest kayfabe bully there is.

I agree this Sheamus is cool, just please lay off the jokes with him.

He's lost every PPV match he's been in since last fall, just like Ryback, who people have been declaring was being squandered and misused the entire time.

[Cesaro Smirk]

I seriously don't get the Sheamus hate. If this were real life happenings I'd feel differently but it's just a TV show.

[celticjobber]

I hate him. He's boring in the ring, corny on promos, and he's a dick in most of his segments with Mark Henry.

Mark came off as a huge babyface last night IMO, taking down the huge lumbering jerk who has been tormenting him for the last several weeks.

I haven't watched much of this feud but from reading recaps I'm pretty sure the feud exists because Mark Henry started attacking Sheamus for no real reason. He's hardly the victim here.

All of this.

Just ignore that part. That seems to be how it works.

But Mark's a heel, sneak attacks are expected of him.

And ever since those attacks, Sheamus has been acting like a cowardly dick in competitive situations where he knew Mark had him beaten.

And last night the way Sheamus made Mark fall out of a chair from flinching was the stereotypical act of a bully.

All from what is supposed to be one of the company's top babyfaces who appeals to little kids.
