Does Sheamus hate America? Why/why not? Does he have an ego? Does he have something to prove? Where did he train? What style is his strong-point? What does he think of fellow Irish Superstars, Finlay and Hornswoggle? Why does he feel he is better than other rising stars like Drew McIntyre and Jack Swagger? If he saw a Diva getting harassed by another Superstar, what would he do? Why does he wear short trunks, instead of long trunks?

If each wrestler knows the character they are playing, then everything will hopefully click.
Honestly, I think the writers are off the hook on this one. I think these questions should be answered by the workers THEMSELVES. Have the writers create the gimmick (good, bad, whatever) and have the wrestlers (Superstars) develop it. By developing their own character, it allows them to make the character their own.
