10 Reasons Sheamus Is Genuinely Hated By WWE Fans

8. Wins Against All Odds

During a match against Alberto Del Rio last month, Sheamus took several kicks and blows to the head. It was significant enough that the announcers constantly pointed out that the Celtic Warrior was loopy and suggested the referee might want to stop the match in Sheamus€™ best interests. But even after the same kick that landed Del Rio the World Heavyweight Championship last year, Sheamus powered through and put the Mexican aristocrat down for a three count with a kick of his own. Also last month, Sheamus had back-to-back matches against Curtis Axel and Ryback and plowed through both in about 10 minutes. A year ago, Axel was on the verge of becoming Intercontinental Champion and Ryback was challenging John Cena for his WWE Championship. Granted, all three superstars have fallen off since their peaks, but the relative ease with which Sheamus won those matches is all-too-common for the Celtic Warrior. Sheamus€™ opponent can target his arm, his leg or even his head for an entire match and he€™ll find a way to slip in a Brogue Kick and pin the opponent. Look at Bad News Barrett this week, battering Sheamus and still losing to a last-ditch kick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Go46ceiRyY In 2012, Sheamus won 77 of 98 televised and PPV matches. That€™s an astounding 78.5% win rate. As much as fans might complain about 50/50 booking, having a guy win four out of every five matches is a bit much. Fans love to see their heroes win, but they have to lose once in a while for the payoff of a final victory to mean something. If you triumph over head injuries and gauntlet matches constantly, then why should fans cheer you? They just throw their hands up and figure that of course Sheamus won, he always wins.
