Sheamus Speaks Out – WWE Return, Injury & More

The following are highlights of a new Long Island Newsday interview with Sheamus:

On the Nassau Coliseum and Long Island fans: “It has a reputation. We know it’s a crowd that might go against the grain, and we deal with it. There’s a couple cities like that. When you go, they want the show to be about them sometimes or their opinions, which is cool. They’re paying their money. They’re going to do what they want to do and it makes it interesting for all of us. You just go with it,man. We’re professionals. If you fight them, you’re going to drown.”

On his WWE return: “I was ready to come back at the Survivor Series, but for whatever reason they wanted me to wait for the new year. I firmly believe everybody knew I was going to come back at the Rumble. I was just glad to be back in the ring. I rehabbed my shoulder really, really well. It was my first injury and I got through it with flying colors. So, for me, in that respect it was a success.”

On changing his character and the road to WrestleMania: “Rehabbing my injuring, I was kind of spinning my wheels and I kind of realized I let my character become a little bit hokey. So coming back, I’m a lot more motivated, a lot more direct. I want to have fun every now and again . . . but you can’t just rest on your laurels. There a lot of young guys in the developmental system coming up and the way you handle that is by going out there and having the best match you can each and every night. WrestleMania is around the corner and we’re all looking to tear it up. Everybody is on their A-game.”
