For the awesome moments regarding The Bar, go here.
- Sheamus made his debut on ECW on June 30th of 2009, he won his first ever WWE championship from John Cena in a Tables match at TLC 2009. That's right, Sheamus won his first World Title within his first year in WWE.
- Defeating the Great Khali by forcing his way out of the Khali Vice Grip. He overpowered Khali! TWICE!
- Cementing his Heel–Face Turn by taking a stand against Mark Henry's rampage has to count.
- Beating Mark Henry by count out. Not through tricks or anything but by hitting Mark Henry so hard that Henry was out cold for nearly the entire ten count! He became the first person in months to actually beat Henry, let alone in a way that would've been a victory in a Last Man Standing Match! Yes, Mark did beat him up after the match, but only because the defeat resulted in Mark having a Villainous Breakdown.
- More awesome in retrospect, seeing as Henry's been unstoppable by anyone not named The Big Show ever since that match.
- His series of matches with John Morrison towards the end of 2010 are generally considered to be the best of either man's career.
- Winning the 2012 Royal Rumble by last eliminating Chris Jericho.
- Which led to the announcement of Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania for the World Heavyweight Championship. The dark match opener of last year's WrestleMania is now one of the main events this year.
- And then Sheamus proceeded to beat Daniel Byran in eighteen seconds, setting a new record for the quickest World Heavyweight Title change in WrestleMania history. Which is horrible.
- Which led to the announcement of Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania for the World Heavyweight Championship. The dark match opener of last year's WrestleMania is now one of the main events this year.
- Sheamus, along with Daniel Bryan, finally getting time to shine with an instant-classic, show-stealing 2 out of 3 falls match at Extreme Rules 2012. Even more awesome is that Sheamus wrestled a technical match with one of the best tech wrestlers in the world and more than held his own (showing that he's more than the routine power wrestler), even busting out an Texas (Irish?) Cloverleaf.
- His theme song...
- In a Triple Threat match for his World Heavyweight Championship which also involved Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler, Ziggler was about to pin Del Rio for the title, so what does Sheamus do? He scrambles back into the ring and breaks up the pin by Brogue Kicking Ziggler in the face. He throws Del Rio out of the ring and pins Ziggler for the win. Wow.
- While he ended up losing the match, his match with The Big Show at Hell in the Cell 2012 had Sheamus lift Show and hit him with White Noise, and kick out of Show's WMD.
- He repeated the White Noise feat the following day. "Have you ever seen a ginger snap?"
- At Elimination Chamber 2014, Randy Orton cowardly wouldn't leave his pod, until Sheamus breaks it open with the Brogue Kick.
- Any of his matches with Bad News Barrett. The two have great chemistry.
- His match with Cesaro at Clash of Champions 2016 was the single best match on the entire card that night, with both men hitting each other with everything they had in their arsenal to the point where the two had completely exhausted one another — and yet still wanted to keep going. Before the match, fans just wanted it over, as it was the final match in a best-of-seven series between one guy they wanted to see get pushednote and…well, Sheamus. By the end, when medical staff was forcibly separating the two men, the fans were chanting to let them resume fighting.
- Sheamus runs an out of kayfabe workout channel called Celtic Warrior Workouts
where he invites people on to explain a gym routine they do, and then Sheamus tries it and basically ALWAYS gets shown up (cause he's not familiar with it and they're not designed for his body type). For a guy whose gimmick is based around his look and strength, letting himself be shown up by his peers and putting them over is an incredibly cool and humble thing in an industry filled with backbiting and narcissism.- As revealed by Yahoo Sports, Sheamus' workout channel famously convinced Edge to make a return to wrestling. When they were filming the second part of Edge's appearance in the channel, Edge was involved in a rather high-speed crash on the mountain biking exercise. After Edge recovered, he noticed that not only was he able to get up from the crash very quickly, his neck and spine was also feeling fine. This led Edge to start training again and get the medical check-ups he needed to be cleared, which he got in time for his surprise return in the 2020 edition of the Royal Rumble.
- As revealed by Yahoo Sports
- Sheamus partook in an absolutely brutal war against Gunther at Clash at the Castle, and, while not netting him the Intercontinental Championship that eluded him his entire career, did give him something that most wrestlers, especially those on the WWE main roster, dare not even dream of: the hallowed Dave Meltzer 5-star rating. To give this the full context it deserves, Meltzer almost exclusively reserves his top rating for indie-style matches featuring younger, lighter, more high-speed wrestlers, such as the Hell in a Cell match between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins earlier that same year. Despite this, Sheamus - a 44-year-old super-heavyweight who fans once held in very low regard as a wrestler and extremely low regard as a character - entered those storied ranks through pure, unstoppable grit and glory.
- Sheamus would again partake in another war against Gunther and his fellow friend Drew McIntyre in a fashionably brutal Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 39 for the Intercontinental Championship, where he would, once again, achieve another hallowed 5-star rating.
