Let's face it, Sheamus just isn't that interesting of a fella. He likes to remind us that he's pale and that he enjoys a pint and a brawl. That pretty much sums up his character for the past few years (at least when he's not running around a Toys R Us in his underpants). Sheamus needs a bit of a jumpstart. As a babyface, I think it's safe to say that he's peaked. He's like John Cena lite. As a heel, though, there could be money left to be made yet. WWE already toyed with the idea of turning Sheamus heel a few months ago. One of the WrestleMania possibilities was Sheamus battling Daniel Bryan on the card. Luckily that didn't happen. It will likely be much better for WWE in the long run to give Bryan an honest run with the gold. However, the idea of turning Sheamus should still very much be in Vince McMahon's mind. A heel Sheamus could be used to battle Bryan and John Cena in future matches. He could also be used to give Evolution a little more advantage for their numbers game. Hunter probably wouldn't mind sticking him in his stable as the two are friends and workout buddies backstage. The longer Sheamus stays as the smiling, happy-go-lucky babyface, the more fans are going to tire of his act. Having him join Evolution could be the perfect thing to make him interesting again.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
