Sheamus: "I haven't had a high profile WM match since HHH"

"It was such a huge match, and I feel like at every Mania since then, I haven't had the opportunity to do that again. I'm hoping at Mania 30 or 31 to bounce back to that level again," Sheamus said. "The wheel goes round and round and comes back and opportunities are given again. You just have to remember that. After four years of experience -- and especially after the match with Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 27 for the U.S. title that ended up being a dark match -- you've got to realize that patience is a huge key in this game."

Even as a fan of Sheamus I forgot he faced HHH at WM.

His match with Daniel Bryan at WM 28 was pretty high-profile, just not the way they were intending.

What has he done to deserve one? He's over, but not a huge star.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Well, he's right. He wasn't even on the card at 27. He wrestled for 18 seconds at 28. He was arguably the least important person in a six man tag at 29. That match with HHH wasn't great or anything but it's the only time he's really had a chance to shine.

Both Sheamus & Bryan have mentioned how disappointing it was to not actually wrestle a full match on the main card of Wrestlemania against each other, in kayfabe terms it was quite big, but in actual showmanship & professionalism I can see why they'd be disappointed. Considering the matches they had after WM28 you can see why, they were custom made to batter seven shades of pro-wrestling out of one another.

I think he's trying to angle for the "Edge/CM Punk" way of moving up the card.

Stay consistent, don't mess up, be a team player, wait for someone to f*** up, slide into their spot.

Its weird in that it seems that the WWE wants its wrestlers to be gunning for the top slot or at least moving up the card but they don't want you to be too vocal about it. Or call them idiots nobody likes that either.

This is the same company who doesn't see "IT" in wrestlers who have the crowd chanting thier name and cheering them like mad so...yeah.

Not even going to lie, I'd forgotten about that match too. Wow.

[mrbananagrabber]

The idea of Sheamus moving back into a position to main event Wrestlemania chills me to the core.

I remember it for the fact that leading up to it HHH brought up his match with The Ultimate Warrior.

[Push R Truth]

I love watching Sheamus wrestle but his character has to evolve a little bit if he's going to get pushed hard.


If Happy Dickhead Face Sheamus is going to remain our only option, no thanks.

[hunterbusax]

Sheamus vs Del Rio iron man match book it .

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Sheamus vs Orton in Chicago, 60 Minute Iron Man Match.

Think about the concession sales, people!

I can easily see a major ass-kicking heel Sheamus be the top heel of WM31. Sheamus is underrated as a wrestler, on the mic and overall in general. If anything I'd say his character is being held back because of creative rather than anything he's done. He was an amazing badass when he turned face and his WHC run was pretty nice. He's improved a lot these past years. He can hold himself up in the ring too.

With that said, he's due for a heel turn. Give me a heel Sheamus as the Authority's handpicked star, a badass ass-kicking heel Sheamus, we're good.

Not a wimpy running heel, a bad-ass no-nonsense heel.

[No Name is needed Bro Beans]

Book Sheamus vs Cesaro for next year hopefully one of them has title give them time and there's a big time main event

[Snowman]

I literally have no memory of this match happening....AND I WAS THERE LIVE!!!!!!

Sheamus better sleep with Reby Sky then.

[King Boo]

I have zero recollection of this match happening.
