– During a recent interview with the Norfolk Navy Flagship, WWE SmackDown star Sheamus talked about which WWE legends have been most influential in guiding his career:
“One of the first guys to really text me or call me up was William Regal. He offered to help me and have me travel with him. We have the same sense of humor, same pop culture background. We got on right away from the start. He’s been a great help to me by watching my matches and critiquing them.
“There have been others like Triple H … Arn Anderson as well. I’m always motivated to pick the brain of people who have been so successful. Great number of minds and talents in WWE and they’re all at your disposal. It’s definitely helped me to progress faster than I would have on my own.”
Sheamus also spoke about the dedication it takes to be a top WWE superstar – and why you can never get lazy or rest on your laurels.
“It’s about drive – never be happy with what you do. You can’t rest on your laurels because you’re only as good as your last match. There are a lot of hungry Superstars ready to come in here and want to knock you off your spot.”
