10 Things You Didn't Know About Sheamus

7. He Took A Pedigree BEFORE Signing With WWE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2eGKNtX1v8 It is not uncommon to look back at WWE history and see instances of future stars serving as security during episodes of Raw and SmackDown. You know, the generic enhancement guys whose job it is to be thrown around, beat up and tossed aside by real superstars like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, John Cena and Randy Orton. In 2006, during a tour of Great Britain, Sheamus was one of the faceless, nameless young gentlemen tasked with fighting off D-Generation X. As would be the case at his very first WrestleMania in 2010, the Irishman fell prey to a Pedigree at the hands of The Game. It was a humbling first appearance on WWE programming but also the first opportunity Sheamus had to leave an impression on management. He must have done something right because now, some nine years later, he is one of WWE's most decorated stars and an apparent WWE lifer.
