Why all the hate on Sheamus?

Sure he wins nearly every match he's in, but he's doing his job really well. Soon he will be the face of the WWE and he is currently the most over wrestler in the business, so why the hate?

1.He looks like a character from The Flinstones , even worse .
2.He sweats like a baboon after 5 minutes of a match .
3.He is awkwardly bad on the mic .
4.He buried the Greatest Of All Time .
5.He is John Cena 2.0 but without the actual little talent that Cena has .
5.He is John Cena 2.0 because he likes Triple Dicks .

Because he has no charisma, average in the ring, less than average on the mic, has the worst look of a wrestler or even of a human being.
And LOL at people who compare Sheamus to Austin regarding his character, Austin was badass, entertaining, not smiling 24/7 when he beats the heels and had the charisma and the look unlike Sheamus.

He's just boring, I like him he could be do much better but when he is kicking everything straight to hell it gets boring and then he starts smiling, it's just annoying

Because Kane & Daniel Bryan are carrying his show.:no:

He just bores me a lot. I find nothing he does entertaining and has been out performed by Bryan, Ziggler and Del Rio on PPV. So much so that the fans started a very loud 'Lets Go Ziggler' chant and they had Lawler try and cover it up (to no avail) by saying the fans are chanting 'Lets Go Sheamus'. Can't remember what PPV but 2-4 months back now.

I likebSheamus just fine, but I don't like the way he wins. Like whatever the story of the match, whatever twists or turns go on in the match, the Broque kick just kind of looms on the horizon. It's going to happen, there's nothing you can do about it, so no matter how good anyone looks against Sheamus, it will end the same way. His match with Daniel Bryan at Extreme Rules was great except for the ending, because instead of having a great go home sequence, the match just kind of stopped.

I do appreciate their attempt to shake up things with the broque ban but I'm not terribly happy with him suddenly becoming a submission specialist all of a sudden.

Whatever. Better him than the Big Show.

Because he is boring in the ring, he's literally unbeatable and more "super" than Cena. It's always the same - He does his moves, tries the brogue kick, being counterted, tries it again and scores. He always wins, too much of a babyface and very predictable.
Heel Sheamus was nice though.

I agree that he was far more interesting as a heel. Hell, making him a tweener that brogue kicks anyone might cure the boredom somewhat.

Nah, people still don't like Ortan.

cuz he's basically smackdowns cena. we all know he'll always win in the end unless he gets screwed over royally and that makes matches really predictable and boring. daniel bryan is below him at the moment and yet he's far more interesting. corny irish jokes and he's a tough likeable hooligan that never backs down(cuz he gets to win in the end always thanks to booking) is just flat out boring to anyone that older than 10. i remember when i was a kid i took a liking to ric flair over hulk hogan and i was probably around 10 years old. that was back in 1988. i can't imagine how an adult can actually l like cena or sheamus unless your a slow adult and have a dribble cup.

If Sheamus was booked to lose more, was in the upper midcard instead of dominating the mainevent, and put into storylines that developed his character more (see Daniel Bryan) Sheamus would be just fine. Even as a face. It's his booking that is wretched. He's a good wrestler, with a good gimmick, and decent mic skills.

pretty much sums it up. how about fleshing him out more than just corny ass jokes? daniel bryan is a perfect example of how creative has made him so much more entertaining that it doesn't matter if he wins or not. everyone knows how good he really is in the ring. he could beat sheamus fairly and it wouldn't be earth shattering. sheamus is so one dimensional and just like cena is like a broken record. it's the same old boring shit.

He fails when he tries to be funny, and is very awkward on the mic.

He has poor in-ring stamina, meaning he has to be carried during decent length matches, e.g. his recent championship matches with Daniel Bryan.

And yeah, the fact that he got mega-pushed after training with HHH taints things a bit.

Apart from that he's decent. He's still a bit green and it feels like he hasn't found his right character niche.
