According to today’s The Irish Sun/The Sun UK Newspaper, WWE have hit back over vicious racist attacks on WWE RAW Superstar, Sheamus. On page 27 of the Irish version of the newspaper it notes that bosses of World Wrestling Entertainment have promised action after Sheamus was branded a “f****** leprechaun” on web forums. The WWE also vowed it would ban the fans who use racial remarks from their live shows.
A spokesman said: “World Wrestling Entertainment does not condone racism in any form. Anyone who engages in this type of anti-social behaviour will be ejected from any of our live events and removed from WWE.com forums.”
The WWE themselves have told Sheamus to ignore the campaigns and protests to have him fired from the WWE. Users on forums have posted some nasty remarks on Sheamus including the following below:
“Well as we all know, Sheamus needs a tan. The second thing we know is he’s a weak Irish f***** who thinks he’s the best just because he won the WWE Championship. He should have just stayed there eating potatoes, the f******* leprechaun”.
“What in the name of God is he saying? I can’t understand his goddamned accent half of the time. What is a f****** Irish guy thinking coming here and trying to be the man? It’s a joke.”
“Oh my God, is that the way they talk over there? No wonder they’re all drunk all the time!! Sheamus should have just stayed the f*** over there, he shouldn’t be on TV. They should kick him out and send him home.”
Sheamus meanwhile has vowed to return to Ireland one day as the WWE Champion. He said, “For me winning one WWE Championship is not enough, I want more. I’m driven and I’m hungry for more. My greatest dream is to bring the WWE Championship back to Ireland and it’s only a matter of time before it happens.”
