Sheamus on Teaming with Cesaro, Friendship with Cesaro, & Fan Reactions

The Sun held a recent interview with Sheamus discussing changes as a wrestler since teaming with Cesaro, the growth of his friendship with Cesaro, and fan reactions to The Bar.

On the topic of his changes since teaming up with Cesaro, Sheamus stated he worries a lot less about what others think about him as a wrestler and instead cares more about the fun he is having being around Cesaro.

“I feel like since tagging with Cesaro I’ve let my guard down. When I look back at my career, I was always trying to be this particular ‘Celtic Warrior’ character. Even when I was doing promos, I was thinking, ‘How would Sheamus do this and say that?’

I love what I do. I’m very professional, I always want to do the best job that I can. But now I don’t care as much about what other people think – whether they like it or they don’t. Tagging with Cesaro, I’ve just had fun. I don’t think about promos, I don’t think about backstage scenes, I just go out there and be me.”

On the topic of his friendship with Cesaro, Sheamus stated he considers Cesaro to be like a brother to him due to how well they have bonded together as a team and as friends.

“From the moment Mick Foley made us a team until now, what you saw on TV is exactly what happened. We grew together as a team and the chemistry just evolved. Now we’re best friends – we’re like brothers. The fun part is that it happened in front of the fans. It was 14-month process. It doesn’t happen like that much anymore. I think the team is successful because what you see is what you get. This is just us.”

On the topic of fan reactions towards The Bar, Sheamus feels those reactions are genuine since fans realize how great the chemistry between Cesaro and himself has been.

“Since tagging with Cesaro it’s like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And that’s when it clicks, when you’re not overthinking stuff. We just go out there and have fun, because life’s too short. We just go out there, have a craic, and do our thing – and people are reacting to it because they know it’s real and know it’s legitimate.”
