As an IT nerd, no way does he pass that up to keep his WWE job. Time for an Irish Goodbye.

I met Sheamus and I can tell you he's not 6'4". He was barely taller than me and I'm 5'9".

Dude wears 4 inch lifts on his boots at least. It's one of those things I can't ignore when he's in the ring.

I swear to God, if I meet Sheamus in a pub and he's not at least a head taller than me I will punch him in his tiny face. I'm average height, by the way.

It's to cushion the Force of the Brogue Kick, mate.

I kinda want Sheamus to leave to go be a Sith just so WWE loses another top face and they have to go to Super-Mega Panic Mode. I want Cole to declare that Cena slammed Andre at WM3 and sold out MSG every week in the 60s.

If Sheamus wears lifts, he wears 'em in his dress shoes too, because he and Conan O'Brien are about the same height when he's a guest.

I'm legit 6'5" without shoes. Clearly I should be playing Vader.

But really though, probably my favorite "WWE gonna WWE" moment was having Money in the Bank start off with DBry saying he'd be out longer than expected and ending with Michael Cole saying that no one can deny that John Cena is the greatest champion ever.

Well, they kinda have to say that. To Build up the Brock Lesnar Match.


The fact that Brie freaking Bella is getting tons of mic time in a feud with a goddamn McMahon and is Main Eventing RAWs pretty much tells you that they aren't going to bury him or anything and will put him right back in the main event scene.

Oh I know why they did it and don't think I was burying Bryan specifically, it was just funny. I hope this weekend when Cena taps Lesnar clean with the STF Cole says something like "JOHN CENA IS SEVEN FEET TALL AND HAS NEVER LIED! SAMMARTINO HOCK-PTOOEY!"

Cole: John Cena won at least two matches at every Wrestlemania, meaning his is the greatest streak in the history of sports entertainment!
*Two months later*
Cole: I just don't know how John Cena could possibly get the Big Show up for an AA, guys!

Interesting factoid: Lucas originally wanted Vader to speak with an Irish accent, but James Earl Jones just wasn't able to pull it off well. Lucas is planning on releasing the Most Special Editions with the Vader's lines re-dubbed in Sheamus' voice.
