WWE 'Celtic Warrior' Sheamus wants championship belt for Christmas

'I want to be the first Irishman to become WWE champion, and I will'

His aversion to the sun isn’t surprising. Sheamus’ skin is whiter than white; one fan in the "Raw" audience on Monday night held up a sign saying “Sheamus Glows in the Dark.”

He laughs at this typical Irish condition. “Yeah, I’m like an alien in Tampa. I’m the whitest man there, and I’m always going around in hoodies,” he says.

A championship belt would also be a welcome addition to Sheamus’ attire. Only a fool would bet against a Gaelic speaking Celtic Warrior who will stop at nothing — NOTHING — to achieve the ultimate goal.

“Cena has never met anyone like me before. Sure, he’s gone up against the best in the world, but he’s got a tough fight on his hands,” Sheamus says.

“This is just the start, the beginning for me. I don’t plan on going anywhere soon. I plan on staying around for a long time, and I want to be WWE champion for a long time.”

"Tables, Ladders and Chairs" airs on Sunday, December 13 at 8 p.m. on pay-per-view. Visit www.wwe.com for more information and how to order the show live.

Can you believe there are literally millions of people around the world who will watch this stuff with raptured attention and think it's all real and unscripted? Ofcourse, I guess we should be thankful that they haven't made Sheamus dress up in some green leprechaun outfit----yet.
What an embarrassment!
I am really fed up with any other nationality than American being packaged as a fanatic so we have to listen to moronic chants of "USA, USA". It's why I stopped watching wrestling.
Sorry, but Sheamus' outfit looks like he borrowed it from Liam Neeson's character in the movie 'Gangs of New York' by Martin Scorsesi. Does he remove the outsized Celtic Cross before entering the ring or is that a legal wardrobe addition for wrestling in the ring?
