WWE SmackDown star and a former four times WWE World Champion Sheamus who is also a former three times WWE United States champion recently talked about his 5 star match against Gunther that took place at Clash at the Castle pay per view event.
Clash at the Castle had been a great pay per view event. The matches were really good and enjoyable; the whole crowd of Cardiff was really hooked with the event throughout. The only issue of the event remained, it was totally predictable and none of the titles changed hand. It had been a big complain that was raised from this event.
Sheamus Discusses His Five Star Match Against Gunther
The best match of the night was the Intercontinental championship match between Sheamus and Gunthur. Of course there were high expectations from this match since both were amazing wrestlers. The Celtic Warrior is a legend of wrestling and Gunther has produced some of the best matches for the NXT UK. So naturally expectations were really high.
The match was predictable of course. Everybody know that Gunther would not drop the title at this stage. But the match was really amazing and it is being considered that it has been the best match of WWE of this year so far. Even Dave Meltzer gave it a 5 star rating which is not very common for him to give WWE matches.
Sheamus who is also a former three times WWE United States champion recently spoke to WWE’s After The Bell podcast with Corey Graves where he talked about his 5 star match against Gunther that took place at Clash at the Castle pay per view event. He said;
“They say Rome isn’t built in a day and success isn’t overnight. It took me 13 years in my WWE career to earn that moment and it was unbelievable. The reception I got when I went out there, I didn’t know what way it was going to go. Gunther obviously has a cult following from being NXT UK Champion for so many years, so I didn’t know what to expect. It’s a moment I’ll never forget. It’s probably the biggest moment I’ve had to this point in WWE.”
“Of course! That’s the goal for everybody. if that’s not your goal in this business, then what the hell are you doing here? Me and Drew are best mates, but I was going out there to steal the show. That was the goal from day one, once I knew this match was happening. I’m stealing the show here, there is no doubt about it.
“I went out there against the lad, awesome lad, great wrestler, very aggressive, knows his role, great heel, great opponent. I went out there with no promotion, no mural on the walls, no press conference. I went out there, two weeks for that match we had. The biggest promotion came the SmackDown before.
“That’s all I needed to blow the roof off a 70,000 seat arena. I don’t need any of this shit. I don’t need a big painting on the wall or press conferences or promotional packages. Give me an arena, 20 minutes in the ring with a formidable opponent, and I’ll give you match of the night every single time.
“Nobody is going to see the brutality, aggression, and passion I bring in that ring. It’s taken 14 years, but it doesn’t matter how long it’s taken me because that moment in Cardiff was to me the moment of my career, one of the biggest moments of my life, and if it’s taken that long, that’s even better, because I know I have earned every single cheer and every single part of that experience.”
