What makes Sheamus so special?

Big Damo has the utmost admiration for Sheamus, someone who reached out to him soon after he joined.

"Sheamus has really been the standard-bearer for Irish wrestling. He's been a World Champion. He's done everything in this industry. He's such an inspiration for everyone back home. Because he's proof that if you get yourself in good enough shape, if you work hard enough, you can make your own luck. And he definitely did that," said Big Damo.

The fact that he has a point to prove could be great news for his fans, who are eager to see him live up to his potential.
