2. He Has Had Altercations With Yoshi Tatsu And Hunico/Sin Cara
The wrestling business is full of tough guys and Sheamus is definitely one of them. He's a physically imposing force that can probably handle himself if somebody wanted to fight him. The same thing can be said for him in the WWE locker room if trouble arises, but apparently he's had some incidents with smaller wrestlers. The two Sheamus fighting stories that are out there involve two unsuspecting people: Yoshi Tatsu and Hunico aka Sin Cara 2.0. The Yoshi Tatsu story goes back to when they were in developmental together. Sheamus borrowed some money from Tatsu and wouldnt pay it back. Tatsu kept asking for it back and he confronted Sheamus about it just like anybody would. Sheamus kept avoiding it, so Tatsu slapped him so hard that he knocked Sheamus on his ass and eventually got the money back. It's a story that apparently Tatsu told the locker room while admitting that he felt bad about Sheamus, but he must have really wanted to get his money back. When Evan Bourne left WWE, he confirmed the fight in a Youshoot with this comment: "I guess everyone heard the story about how Sheamus got dropped by Yoshi Tatsu so I think that sort of makes him soft." Bourne did say that he thought Sheamus was tough too. Sheamus' incident with Hunico was told on MLW Radio on a show hosted by former wrestler Konnan. According to the story, Sheamus made some kind of comment that Cara should get up off of a stretching mat so Sheamus could use it. Sheamus implied that he was more important than Cara. That led to Cara taking offense to it, then Cara took down Sheamus by sweeping the leg and he got some punches in on him too. Apparently things didn't escalate too badly. Sheamus took to Twitter to comment on the incident after it was reported last year. https://twitter.com/WWESheamus/status/464189617504546816 That doesn't mean it didn't happen. It just means that he probably didn't think of it as a big deal. WWE doesn't want fans knowing about these sorts of things especially if it's some lower card wrestler attacking a top guy like Sheamus.
