I guess I'm one of the few that doesn't believe in the Sheamus hype. He's proven that he can work, but there are a ton of guy who are either on the roster now or who have come through the ranks of the WWE and been let go who could work just as well if not better than Sheamus.
I don't care much for his promo ability and I think his character lacks any kind of real edge. As a heel he was pretty entertaining, but as a face I don't know if I buy him or not.
I think he's gotten pushed way too hard, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that he's in Triple H's back pocket. That's worked in his favor far more than anything else.
Jericho should have won the Rumble - it would have been the big pay off to his return and the strange angles leading up to the Rumble with Jericho not speaking. Sheamus' win basically came out of nowhere, and he would have benefited from an earned #1 contendership victory for Mania as he will from the Rumble win. A Jericho win at the Rumble would have been one of those "moments." Sheamus' win? Not so much.
