Irish WWE wrestler Sheamus next mega-champ? Fight looms with star John Cena

Still playing the bad guy, Sheamus won an elimination match to everyone's surprise, and will face Cena in the WWE championship match on pay-per-view. 

He began wrestling in his home town of Dublin but was forced into a two-year layoff after damaging his neck.

Farrelly played the role of "Two Ton" in the 2008 movie "The Escapist,"  alongside Joseph Fiennes and Brian Cox. He had a small role in the 2006 Irish film, 3 "Crosses," and was a Celtic Warrior Zombie in the opening sequence of the 2009 movie "Assault of Darkness" opposite Vinnie Jones.

Aside from "The Chairman" McMahon, an Irish American, WWE has a fairly full docket of wrestlers who are either Irish, Irish American, or who use an Irish theme as part of their persona. The stocky Finlay is perhaps best-known among this crew, as is his midget counterpart Hornswoggle, who dresses as a leprechaun.
