He's the least over 3 time world champ ever.
The crowds are so smarky now, and he's just not over with 99% of hardcore fans.

I had honestly mostly forgot he existed. the show's bloated enough as it is, and another "main eventer" being gone at least gives the show some breathing room because you don't have another guy whose just there who wins all the time and hangs about in a vaccuum.

I miss ECW Sheamus and "I'll Fight Ya" babyface Sheamus, hell, I miss the cowardly bully Sheamus from his first real main event run. But outside of his matches, I don't really miss Sheamus. I sometimes forget the guy's even out, the roster's so stacked right now.
Like somebody else said, I feel his absence has been a benefit for the show. It gives it more breathing room and gives more room for something ideally more interesting than him either in holding patterns of winning random, and seemingly pointless, matches or taking up a space that somebody like a Cody or a Goldust or a Daniel could benefit from having.

Also all the 1-2 time former champs (Christian, RVD, Miz, Swagger, Ziggler, Kane, Show, etc). After he beat d-bry at WM 28, he was getting the most heat in the company...and he was a face!

Sadly, Del Rio is a four time world champion. 18 seconds certainly didn't help him but that's more WWE's fault then his, had they gone out there and just had the awesome match they had at Extreme Rules I think he'd have gained a lot of respect from Bryans fans. Sheamus has just been very unlucky in his career in that they keep having him as a face go over heels that are beloved by a certain slice of the audience, usually in the worst places to as well. Though I have to say, really really surprised you would claim that Miz is more over then Sheamus when the audience cheers the heels to beat the f*** out of Miz.

Shaved sheamus is off putting
I hope Sheamus comes back as a heel mad that nobody remembered he was gone
People hear what they want to hear, but sheamus was over and still is over.
Him turning into irish batista was worse for him. But back in 2011 up to the rumble fans liked him until he beat dbry in 18 seconds.
Then the endless/lifeless feuds with big show and del rio.
Sheamus was catching fire feuding with the shield though

I miss the guy a lot. If he was in Bryan's or Punk's role the show would be better to me.

Eliminate his goofy comedy and he's a helluva babyface, but I can also see him returning as the Authority's new golden boy.
So, in short, I'm a fan and I do hope to see him sooner than later.

i think he would have worked better as the heel Authority endorsed Champion actually.

He'd be a lot better in the role Big Show is in now.

Man, can you imagine if this had actually happened, so much animosity for poor Sheamus from Bryan fans. Though the theories that the WWE were trying to make Sheamus look better then Bryan at everything would have been a joy to read.

I've been missing cowardly shitbag heel Sheamus for years. I don't miss comedy asshole FELLA Sheamus in the slightest.

Plus he's been consistently pushed since day one and was getting increasingly negative crowd reactions. Plus it would make more sense that the authority would want a more clean-cut corporate friendly guy that could be their stooge for years rather a mentally disturbed Orton with two strikes against him. That said he's have been good in the Big Show role too. Poor fella got injured at just the wrong time.
