It'd be easy to look at Sheamus and imagine the Irishman spends more time in the gym lifting weights than he does fiddling around with computers, but the WWE veteran once worked as an IT Technician in his homeland before finding fame in the States. You're picturing Roy from The IT Crowd now, aren't you?

Sheamus turning up to rid your laptop of pesky pop-ups or viruses would have been a bit unique; training and actively working as a wrestler on weekends, Sheamus wasn't a small man when he was offering IT support in Dublin or London.

Truthfully, Sheamus didn't have much of an affinity for the technical side, telling Wrestling Inc. that he simply had great people skills. Specialising in AV Support for companies like Symantec and Hartford Life IT, the current WWE tag star also did some bodyguard work on the side for bands like U2.

He wasn't just sitting at home optimising his laptop processor then.
