Sheamus recently answered a few fan questions for Delaware Online. You can read some highlights below:
Do you have a favorite match when you were growing up?
When Bret Hart won King of the Ring and beat Bam Bam Bigelow. I just loved watching Bret get beat down and beat down, but would still keep coming back. He had a lot of resilience and was able to take a beating. When you look at a lot of kids’ super heroes, good guys, they were the ones who seemed more human to me because he would take punishment, but he would still come back.
Every match, he looked like he’d been through a war. That definitely struck a cord with me. Like I’ve never been a fan of Supermans or God-like super heroes. I’m more into human aspects. That’s why I’m a fan of the Daredevil TV series. I think it’s really cool. I think that’s why people can relate to it. He goes through war and overcomes the odds. Never the biggest guy, but had more heart than anybody.
If you could take on any wrestler in WWE history and work with them, who would it be?
“Right now, it’s Brock Lesnar. I want Brock Lesnar. Simple as that. Brock Lesnar to me is a man who shows up now and again, and obviously considers himself the toughest man in WWE. And I consider myself THE toughest guy in WWE.
“I’ve been saying for a long time that I want a crack at Brock Lesnar. I wanted a crack at Undertaker before, but that streak is gone now and the opportunity is gone. I’m looking at today’s toughest streak. I want Brock Lesnar. And I want him at Wrestlemania.”
