Sheamus has no intention of changing his in-ring style because it makes him who he is.
WWE Superstar Sheamus recently sat down with Chris McPherson of Collider. When asked about his hard-hitting wrestling style, The Celtic Warrior made it clear if he hits his opponent hard, he expects them to give it back.
“The thing about me is I’ve never been a guy to take liberties. I will hit you. I will hit you hard. I’m not going to break noses and stuff, but I’ll hit you. But I expect to be hit back just as hard, if not harder, and they know that,” Sheamus said. “They’re relaxed there, and they can do that, and they can show a side of themselves that they probably wouldn’t be able to show with certain other talent or more experienced or veteran talent like me, and that’s just the way I like it.
“I just love that physical aspect. That’s the most important thing for me. I’ll never be a high flier. I’ve got a technical aspect that I learned from being in the UK and Ireland, and the rest of them, which is a lot of groundwork and basics. But the people know—the fans know—once my music hits, they’re going to get a banger. They’re gonna get a real fight, and that’s what I’m proud of.”
Sheamus doesn’t give a shit if some WWE Superstars don’t want to wrestle him
Due to his stiff wrestling style, Sheamus understands that some wrestlers don’t want to get into the ring with him, and he’s perfectly okay with that.
“In the beginning of my career, I was always stiff, all the time. Stiff like in the ring, as in just the hard-ass wrestler. ‘You’ve got to learn to loosen up.’ Absolutely no. Why would I do that now? It’s like, this is who I am. This is what makes me, me,” Sheamus explained. “I’m sure there are people who don’t want to get in there with me because they don’t like the physical aspect that I bring, but I don’t give a shit because if you want to go in there with me, come in there with me.
“A lot of young talent will want to get in there, and they’ll know when they’re going to have a Sheamus match—a banger of a Sheamus match to walk away—and the crowd will give them that much more respect.”
