Former four times WWE World Champion Sheamus who is also a former three times WWE United States Champion recently said that he loved to help new talents and he would like to keep on helping new talents as long as he is active in this business. He also praised the new wrestlers like Ridge Holland and Rick Boogs.
When Sheamus joined the main roster of WWE back in 2009, she was instantly treated as a main event star as he defeated John Cena on the same year to win the WWE Championship. Dethroning John Cena as the champion was a huge deal back in the time.
Slowly he went on to be one of the most successful stars in WWE as he made his name as many event star, a mid card and a Tag Team wrestler as well. In a very short amount of time he became a four times WWE World Champion and achieved many other great success as well.
He also won the WWE Royal Rumble match back in 2012 and went on to challenge Daniel Bryan for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 28. He defeated Bryan in only 18 seconds. But after dropping the Championship, slowly he was dropped from the main event status as well.
At this stage of his career there is a fat chance of him going back to the main event status once again. He will only be portrayed as a mid card working with newer talents to help them out. And that is exactly what he is doing right now. He does not get involved in any direct feuds these days but mostly work in matches.
Of course, he does win some mid card championships as he won the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 37 by defeating Matt Riddle and dropped the title to Damian Priest at SummerSlam. He is doing a pretty good job right now, and indeed he is a future Hall of Famer.
Sheamus who is also a former three times WWE United States Champion recently spoke to TV Insider where he said that he loved to help new talents and he would like to keep on helping new talents as long as he is active in this business. He also praised the new wrestlers like Ridge Holland and Rick Boogs. He said;
“I’m a firm believer in helping talent. I’ve never been one of these people worried about my spot or what if he comes in and becomes more popular than me. I’ve done a lot. There is one thing I haven’t done, which is winning the IC [Intercontinental] title. Something on my radar right now.
“I will say I’ve been doing that a lot—working with young guys. I think there is a lot of great potential in Ridge. He has such explosive power and speed. He looks the part. He is from England, so now there is another person to get behind. I want to help him in any way I can. That’s my role, and I enjoy it.
“I was in the ring with Rick Boogs a couple of weeks ago on live events, and I enjoyed it. The first night wasn’t great. The second night in Boston I had a lot of ideas to help make his performance better, and what would suit him. I’m not only thinking about myself but the guys I’m in the ring with.
“That’s the way it should be with everyone. [William] Regal did that for me. I got to work with Batista, John Cena, Triple H. They were always helpful to me…I want to do what I was taught, especially the ones that want the help and are passionate. I enjoy that part of the process as much as doing my own thing in the ring. I feel like I’m in a great place and spot.”
