Line 18:
* [[The Berserker]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't slap the guy. Or spit on him, for that matter.
* [[Big "What?"]]: His somewhat understandable verbatim reaction to John Laurinaitis fining him $500,000. Most of the reasonable commentators agreed that, while punishment for his actions <ref>i.e. blowing his top and kicking a ref in the face after a bad call</ref> was warranted, the fine amount was a ''bit'' [[Disproportionate Retribution|over the top]], given the situation.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Even as a face, his primary motivation is to just get into fight after fight.
** Hell, it's the main reason he didn't walk out on Triple H like the others. During their feud in mid 2010, Sheamus cracked Triple H in the back of a head with a lead pipe during The Game's heartfelt farewell to [[Shawn Michaels]]. Yeah, Triple H could've sued Sheamus for assault or the like, but instead he picked himself up and gave Sheamus what the Irishman himself admitted to be ''the biggest arse kickin' he ever got.'' It's something Sheamus grudgingly, but willingly, respects Triple H for.
Line 38:
** Also, [[The Muppets|Beaker]]. Thanks for that, [[Edge]].
*** Ironically, we find out that [[Kayfabe|Beaker is his cousin]] after he chases off [[Christian]].
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: His [[Hair
* [[Fighting Irish]]
* [[Fiery Redhead]] : He isn't a person you don't want to make mad.
Line 45:
* [[Foreign Wrestling Heel]]: [[Heel Face Turn|Not any more]]
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Was an IT technician before he was a wrestler.
* [[Hair
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Performed one to fight [[Mark Henry]]. [[Redemption Promotion|Came with a quite a few]] [[Took a Level In Badass|levels in]] [[Badass]].
* [[Heroic Albino]]: As a face. Before that, he was an [[Evil Albino]], naturally.
Line 60:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: 275 pounds - slingshot shoulder tackle. That's all that needs to be said, really.
* [[Mad Eye]]: If the picture above is any indication, he's got a pretty good crazy face.
* [[Made of Iron]]: Recently. He came back from getting [[One
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by [[Michael Cole]] on the August 26, 2011 episode of ''Smackdown'', who points out that Sheamus can endure a massive amount of pain.
** On separate occasions, [[Randy Orton]] hit him with the RKO and [[John Cena]] hit him with the Attitude Adjustment... only for him to get up in less than a minute and knock them out cold with the Brogue Kick.
Line 71:
* [[Mondegreen]]: Sheamus theme music falls in to this. "Lost her head" gets interpreted as Lobster head. Also. Sheamus' Irish accent also makes it easy to become mondegreened - especially when he says, "Fact is..."
* [[Oireland]]: Though he does come by the nationality as honestly as one possibly can - he was born and raised in Dublin.
* [[One
* [[One of Us]]: Is a big fan of [[The Hulk]] and [[Spider-Man]].
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: He did not want to be another funny drunk Irishman, instead playing up the warrior culture of Ireland, [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on whether he's still a stereotype.
Line 82:
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: If you get him mad, heaven help you. Even his [[Heel Face Turn]] hasn't changed this aspect of his character.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: He ends his sentences with fella, fella.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Has been called out on a couple of occasions for his rather liberal use of the Brogue Kick. First, he {{spoiler|kicked [[Daniel Bryan]] in the head, while the latter was turning around to get a good-luck kiss from his girlfriend.}} Yes, {{spoiler|[[Daniel Bryan]]}} was a dick, but it was rather unsporting. Then, he does something very similar to a returning [[Alberto Del Rio]] the next day. ''[[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Johnny Laurinaitis]]'' of all people calls him out on it. But when Sheamus loses the match because of a bad call by the ref, he proceeds to kick the ref in the face, too. Really?
* [[When He Smiles]]: As a face, Sheamus does ''a lot of'' smiling. Not [[Slasher Smile]] either, honest-to-goodness happy smiling. It makes him look so friendly.
* [[Writer On Board]]: Although it's never once been brought up in [[Kayfabe]], he and [[Triple H]] share a friendly personal relationship, which some point to as the reason he was pushed so heavily so soon after his arrival. <ref>Reportedly [[Chris Jericho]] was meant to win the 2012 Royal Rumble, but [[Triple H]]'s influence spurred creative to give Sheamus the victory.</ref> Although, at the same time, his face run has gotten over rather swimmingly with the fans.
** Swimmingly, of course, until he {{spoiler|[[Kayfabe|decided]] to cheap-shot [[Bryan Danielson|Daniel Bryan]] with a [[One
*** Which, of course, he was [[Mis Blamed]] for. Research into the matter will reveal that even though Sheamus was booked to win the match anyway, emphasis on later matches (such as [[John Cena|Cena]]/[[Dwayne Johnson|Rock]] and [[The Undertaker]]/Triple H) and a last-minute decision to attempt to beat a completely pointless Wrestlemania 'record' few people knew about <ref>that being the shortest Wrestlemania match</ref> caused the match to be booked in the way it was.
