Sheamus Discusses Being The First Irish-Born WWE Champion & How He Celebrates St. Paddy's Day & Favorite Wrestlers

PJStar.com has a new article online featuring a Q&A with WWE Champion Sheamus. Below are the highlights:

Becoming the first Irish-born WWE Champion: It meant everything. This has been a long journey. This is something I've always wanted to do, to be in the WWE since I was 4 or 5 years old. A lot of people will tell you to be realistic in school - that you can't do this or can't do that. They will tell you to find a 9-to-5 job and all of that. But we all have dreams. Realistically, they are thinking you are out of your mind. It's pretty hard in Dublin sometimes. You get knocked around sometimes. Going back as the first Irish-born WWE champion, it shows you that if you have a dream or a goal that you can achieve it.

  • How he celebrates St. Patrick's Day ?
"Well, I start it off in the gym and then I like to get a good Irish stew, a few pints of Guinness and then put the head down early. You can't lose track of where you want to go in being the best WWE superstar and to be a champion, you have to be serious. There is no point in going in binges. Maybe (I'll get) a Shamrock Shake like everyone else."

  • Favorite wrestlers
I've had a chance with Finlay. He's always been a big hero of mine. We did cross paths with the No. 1 contendership battle royal. Stan Hansen, too. He was a big dude and took no prisoners and he was a hard hitter who everyone feared. Him and Finlay would be my two biggest idols.
