11. Getting Signed With Barrett & McEntyre
Sheamus reveals that he was signed at the exact same time as other three standout European talents, his friends Wade Barrett and Drew McIntyre. Sheamus says he flew himself to Milan for a dark match with Jimmy Wang Yang and got legitimately knocked out in the first minute by one of Yang's spin kicks - something Jericho gives him grief for since his Brogue Kicks are known for being stiff - and he somehow finished the match without remembering anything about it. He was invited to London with the other two prospects. After the tour John Laurinaitis came to all three men and offered them deals.
