Where is sheamus from

He played rugby for the National College of Ireland, where he received a National Diploma, and Gaelic football for the Erin's Isle team, where he performed so well that he was once named "Sports Star of the Month.

Some guys wrestle in college, some guys, like Big Show and Kevin Nash, play basketball. Sheamus played the brutal sport of rugby, which really makes a lot of sense. As most Superstars and Divas do, Sheamus has made quite a few media appearances since his big push a few years back. While most Superstars just push a pay-per-view or a new movie coming out, Sheamus finds ways to get The video above shows Sheamus on Conan, which features the Celtic Warrior brogue kicking the head off of a Conan mannequin.

This isn't Sheamus' first TV confrontation. Here's a video from early in his pro wrestling career where he got into a war of words with one of Ireland's most loved hosts, Dustin Another amusing Irish run-in came on the Podge and Rodge show, when a very young, bearded Sheamus dressed like a leprechaun and engaged in some good ol' fashioned leprechaun arm wrasslin'.

Drew McIntyre is being buried as a member of 3MB, Wade Barrett is the Intercontinental Champion but is jobbing to the main event guys and Sheamus isn't even in the title picture.

Back in the day, as part of Irish Whip Wrestling, Sheamus, McIntyre and Barrett were all part of the same organization and actually competed quite a bit around Europe. Sheamus and McIntyre had countless matches around the continent before they made the jump to the WWE. With Galloway briefly answered, O'Shaunessy took on the newcomer Pierre Marcaeu and defeated him in two successive title matches only to find Galloway had earned another shot.

With their rivalry intensifying, Galloway's next challenge to O'Shaunnesy was given the stipulation of a Last Man Standing match. O'Shaunessy retained the title, as he also did in June with the same stipulation. Finally, on August 28, O'Shaunessy lost the IwW International Heavyweight Championship in a singles match to Galloway in what would be his last appearance with the promotion. As well as wrestling in Ireland, O'Shaunessy occasionally travelled to Great Britain to make appearances on the British independent circuit.

In April he was brought into Wales' Celtic Wrestling promotion as a contender for their top title but was defeated by the champion, Chris Recall. During his time overseas he worked for Brian Dixon's All Star Wrestling , which gave him a taste of large audiences that he had not experienced in Ireland, as well as wrestling English veteran Robbie Brookside and other British wrestling luminaries, including Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams.

As well as making top contender appearances based on his growing reputation, O'Shaunessy also brought with him to Britain his long-standing rivalry with Galloway. Though their feud finished in Ireland in August , it continued on across the Irish Sea when the two wrestled for the umbrella promotion Real Quality Wrestling RQW the following year.

The lack of a decision led to a rematch in June, and one of O'Shaunessy's last on the independent circuit, where Galloway picked up the victory in a No Holds Barred match ahead of an RQW Heavyweight Championship match. The following day he and Galloway had a try out match against each other. This led to signing a developmental contract for WWE, at which point he relocated to the United States. While wrestling regularly, he was not part of any long feuds but did wrestle with a number of short-term tag teams alongside Hade Vansen and Jake Hager before teaming with Kafu and managed by Dave Taylor in the tournament to crown the inaugural FCW Florida Tag Team Champions.

By September, O'Shaunessy had focused his attention to singles competition and wrestled his way to the top of the card, successfully defeating former partner Hager for the Florida Heavyweight Championship. He defended the title against Hager on October 23 and took on a number of competitors, with Eric Escobar and Joe Hennig consistently earning themselves into contention. In March he challenged the two for the titles once again, this time with McIntyre as his partner but could not defeat them, nor could he defeat McIntyre for the Florida Heavyweight Championship the following month.

He received a series of chances throughout the rest of the year but could not win any more titles before being called up to WWE television, unsuccessfully challenging Justin Angel for the Florida Heavyweight Championship in November. The following year in May, O'Shaunessy began appearing at the Raw brand's house shows, and on both May 8 and 9 he defeated Jamie Noble along with another dark match victory over Noble before an episode of Raw.

On the June 30, episode of ECW , Farrelly made his unannounced debut as a villain under the shortened ring name of Sheamus, quickly defeating a local competitor. Sheamus soon entered into a critically well-received rivalry with Goldust after defeating him on July After exchanging victories in the following weeks the two appeared on the Abraham Washington Show talk segment leading to a No Disqualification match on September 1 which was won by Sheamus.

Sheamus then began a feud with Shelton Benjamin which was hot-shot into a deciding match on October 27 which Sheamus won.

His rivalry with Benjamin ended prematurely because Sheamus had already been moved to the Raw brand. He made his Raw debut by defeating Jamie Noble on October In the following weeks, he continued to attack Noble causing him to retire, and, in lieu of competition, assaulted the timekeeper and commentator Jerry Lawler on November 16 at Madison Square Garden. Sheamus appeared as part of The Miz 's team in a traditional five-on-five elimination tag team match.

He eliminated fellow Irishman Finlay and made the final pinfall to eliminate the opposing captain John Morrison and survive along with Miz and long-time former rival Drew McIntyre. The following night on Raw , Sheamus won a "break-through" battle royal for wrestlers who had never won a world championship , to become the number one contender to John Cena 's WWE Championship.

At the contract signing immediately afterwards, Sheamus put Cena through the table as the Raw guest host Jesse Ventura announced it would be a Tables match. During the match, Sheamus suffered a concussion and as a result did not attend Raw the following night. The following month at Extreme Rules , Sheamus attacked Triple H at the beginning of the show and later defeated him in a Street Fight. After a series of kicks to the head to win, he continued his assault after the match finished resulting in Triple H being written off TV for 10 months.

He went on to defeat Cena in a steel cage match to retain the championship at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, and against Randy Orton at SummerSlam, which ended in disqualification, meaning that Sheamus retained his title.

Sheamus was also involved in a triple threat steel cage dark match for the WWE Championship against John Cena and Undertaker before the th episode special of Raw but retained the title by escaping the cage while Undertaker had Cena locked in the Hell's Gate submission maneuver. He bounced back on November 29, with wins over Kofi Kingston and John Morrison to become King of the Ring , after receiving a bye through the second round.

Going into , he continued to lose to Morrison in a mixture of singles and tag team matches. Triple H returned on February 28 and took revenge for his scripted month injury by putting him through the announce table. Right after that, Sheamus was defeated by Evan Bourne who returned to Raw after a 4-month injury. He won his match against Bryan the following week, winning his first United States Title.

After the match, the debuting Sin Cara saved Bryan from an attack by Sheamus. Although he took the United States Championship with him, he lost it back to the Raw brand at Extreme Rules when Kingston defeated him in a Table match. On the 3 June episode of SmackDown , Sheamus lost a World Heavyweight Championship match to Randy Orton due to biased refereeing from Christian , beginning a turn from a villainous character to a fan favorite over the following weeks.

Two weeks later, he was put in a match against Christian with a stipulation that if Sheamus won, he would be able to compete in the World Heavyweight Championship match at WWE Capitol Punishment. However he was unsuccessful in the match, and he was punted by Randy Orton after the match. Sheamus' face turn culminated in him attacking Mark Henry for being a bully, though he lost to him by count-out at SummerSlam.

After this loss, Sheamus went on a 14 match winning streak that ended after outside interference from Christian, with whom he had been feuding. During this time, Sheamus defeated Christian in three consecutive matches at Hell in a Cell , Vengeance , and on Smackdown. He then went on a 12 match winning streak building towards winning the Royal Rumble.

On the following episode of Smackdown , Sheamus was defeated by Alberto Del Rio via disqualification, thus earning Del Rio a future title match. The title match, originally announced for SummerSlam , was moved to the 10 August episode of SmackDown , after Del Rio threatened to press charges against Sheamus for stealing his car on the previous episode of Raw , which would have prevented Sheamus from appearing at the pay-per-view.

More recently, after the Wrestlemania 35 in April, Sheamus got injured and is yet to make his comeback into the ring, however, his partner Cesaro has been drafted to Raw. Sheamus is unmarried and is rumoured to be dating a lady who went from being his fan to his girlfriend, named Isabella Revilla. He has also made various appearances in multiple tv shows. Not many people know that Farrelly is a former IT technician. In the past, he had to work as security for Nightclubs, which eventually led him to be assigned as personal security for Bono and Larry Mullen, Jr.
