Backstage News on Plans to Turn Sheamus Heel

[Dale]

- The big heel turn for Sheamus could end up happening during WWE's upcoming European tour or right after it. Officials didn't want him turning heel right before the tour and then lose momentum by getting cheered so early in his heel run.

I'll be all for this if he goes back to the 'I love to fight' badass Sheamus even though I do enjoy him as he is now. With Batista taking time off soon, it will leave a top heel spot open for him to fill as he seems to have been floating around doing very little of note for a while now

 

[Chris]

Sheamus does good with whatever roll he's in, so I'm fine with whatever.

 

[Deezy]

As long as he is just back to bad ass and no more tales of his Irish families is done.

 

[Gimmick]

I think the problem still lies with how creative have been handling him over the past year or so, but I think it's a step in the right direction. I agree that they just need to resort him back to a bad ass heel, and give him a direction from there.

Would love to see another Sheamus/Bryan match come out of it somewhere down the line.

 

[Chris]

They could play up on Trips friendship with Sheamus to get us some Bryan matches out of it.

Keep him away from Trips and Stephanie, having those two taking all his heat does him no favours, look what it did to Orton. He should be on his own, just fight anyone and not give a shit. Book him like 96/97 Austin.

 

[Chris]

Good point, Deezy. Sheamus needs to be on his own.

 

[Keith]

He is a better face overall, but if he is booked as a bad arse like deezy said then it could be a good move for him

 

[Rated R Superstar]

I haven't actually been that big of a fan of his face stuff. I've always preferred him as heel.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Sheamus is an awful face. But that falls on the bookers and writers who have him cutting terrible promos and endlessly Brogue Kicking everyone.

 

[Deezy]

Yeah who wants to cheer a dominant good guy

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

We all know wrestling is its most entertaining when a face chases a dominant heel. Dominat face squashing everyone gets old quick. Whatever year it was Sheamus last held the WHC it seemed like 48 out of the 52 episodes of Smackdown that year ended with Sheamus grinning after Brogue Kicking someone. So as well theres dominance then theres just stupidly dominant.

 

[SAIYANS]

Make him the new Finlay. Just a guy who lives to fight, no heel or face

 

[Defiant]

Sheamus has no charisma as a babyface but he's awesome in the ring. Best way to use him is to make him shut up and fight, just show up to fight for the sake of it while talking as little as possible. I hope this is how this heel streak will go because it works just as well that way.

Hulk Hogan beating every heel was more successful than Flair and the Horsemen beating everyone, Austin beating everyone was the most successful time in the business.
