15 Things We Learned From Sheamus On Talk Is Jericho

9. Coming Up With The Name

Y2J asks where he came up with the name Sheamus - his real name is Stephen Farrelly - and he says that it was just a very Irish name that he thought would fit in well in WWE. Originally his last name was O'Shaunessy but they joke that Vince likes one names, mentioning the recent dropping of Adrian from Neville's ring moniker. He admits the name was gimmicky but did think the S.O.S. part of it was pretty cool. Initially they were not too keen on Ray being Sheamus' manager but after he explained his role they softened on them. The two then discuss how difficult it was to work with Mike Bucci - better known as Nova and Simon Dean - when he was in his position in the office, and you can tell Jericho has no clue how he ever landed that job in the first place.
