10 Times WWE Missed Out On Making Sheamus A Superstar

We missed out on Sheamus having a Goldberg-like undefeated streak...

Yes Sheamus, we should be so much more entertained. But, we're not. Thankfully, it's not your fault. Standing over six and a half inches tall and weighing in at over 250 pounds, Sheamus more than fits the profile of what Vince McMahon envisions every WWE top star to ideally look like. However, while being a three-time World Heavyweight Champion during his WWE career, Sheamus has yet to make that connection with the crowd that really puts him over the top as a performer. Considering that other three-plus time World Champions currently employed by WWE include The Big Show, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar and John Cena, one of these performers is not like the others. In contemplating the arc of Sheamus' career though, there are certainly ten moments when WWE absolutely missed out on a moment when crowds were certainly entertained by Sheamus to a degree where he absolutely deserved more out of his career. In being a performer who has been hamstrung by creative and corporate direction shifts actually directly impacting his career, he could be so much more, but issues beyond his control have held him back. All that being said, here are ten moments when Sheamus deserved to grab the brass ring and elevate his stock in WWE.
