10 Short-Lived WWE Gimmicks You Totally Forgot About

Hands up who wants to see old ladies unbuttoning their blouses after Sheamus saves their pet cat from a nearby tree? That was what 1-800-FELLA was all about, apparently. In the summer of 2013, several vignettes aired for a fictional number that was supposed to paint the Irish star as a babyface hero who'd help sorry souls in a pinch.

All they had to do was dial the number on screen.

The vids claimed that help was "Just A Brogue Kick Away". Also, if you thought we were kidding around about the pensioner hitting on Sheamus, then check this out. What else is old granny grey-hips doing if she's not getting that shirt off for the 'Celtic Warrior' after he saves little Tiddles?

Other vignettes had Sheamus helping someone with a bad case of the hiccups and saving a choking man by (ahem) Brogue Kicking him in the back. WWE stopped running these videos when Sheamus suffered a torn labrum in August.
