WATCH: Sheamus talks smack ‘as Gaeilge’ to Zack Ryder on WWE Raw

Never has such a pleasant greeting sounded so aggressive.

We never need an excuse to express our admiration for Sheamus on these pages, but he keeps providing us with them in any case.

He was sound as a bell when we met him ahead of the release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie a while back and we won’t forget his recent appearance on Conan in a hurry either.

On WWE Raw on Monday night, he took Zack Ryder down a peg or two when he floored him before they even got in the ring and talked smack in a language that many of the watching audience would not have understood.

Their loss, of course.

You tell ‘em Sheamus.
