► Sheamus's path to wwe
The veteran himself tells in Virgin's media:
«I was working in computer science. I think everyone in the late 90s and early 2000s ended up in computer science. It was like 'What are you going to do?' And you answered 'Well, I get into it'. That's how I ended up in that.
“Curiously, I met Bret Hart In Lillie's a free night (Sheamus says that he was once protected Bono, the vocalist of U2). He gave me information about schools. In 2002 I left the job and went to New Jersey …
«I saw him there and I approached to talk to him. It was very good vibes, very conversational. He gave me the number of his agent. I wrote by mail and she passed me information from several schools.
In an interview with talkSPORTthe Irish fighter revealed that I fought in little shows while working at Canary Wharfin London, England (United Kingdom) before having a successful test with WWE in Manchester.
«I always thought I would achieve it. I didn't know how successful it would be, but I always knew that I had the passion to do it, and I always believed in me. That belief has grown over the years.
“In fact, even if you don't believe it, I arrived in the United States quite confident for my independent fighting, but when I arrived at FCW – which is now NXT – I got into the training school with Steve Keirn and Dr. Tom Prichard, the two coaches. Dr. Tom trained The Rock, Kurt Angle, Mark Henry, and is probably the most respected and recognized fighting coach in the world. They were a great slap on the balls.
«They told me: 'You're doing everything wrong … you're lost … you don't know how to tell a story … I don't know what you're trying to do.'. And that was the moment I thought: 'Maybe I don't really know what I am doing.'
«In independents nobody tells you if you are right or wrong, because WWE has a particular style. I had to swallow a great drink of humility and start from scratch.»
