In an interview with The Daily Star, Sheamus talk about his frustration with WWE creative coming out of his Clash at the Castle match with GUNTHER.
"I'm not upset about that (the match outcome at Clash) at all. I felt it was great, it was just the type of character Sheamus is, all fists and elbows. What I was upset about and what really bothered me was the creative after that. I came out of that with so much organic momentum, and it was just wasted. It didn't go anywhere. It was a dead end, just like with WrestleMania. Drew went away because he was injured, but I was ready to go and then just nothing. There were no avenues and nowhere to go and that's frustrating. I did the War Games thing [after Clash at the Castle] but that was s*** - that's how I felt, though others might have felt differently."
He also talked about wanting to win the Intercontinental Championship, the only WWE title that has eluded him.
"I'm not much of a politician, to be honest with you. I just roll my sleeves up, get in there and get stuck in. The journey is just as important, that story of me trying to get my hands on the title as it's the one title I haven't got. It's still a fresh story. Even with Gunther and Drew's match at SummerSlam, people are still mentioning me because it's still my story. I'd definitely like to retire with [the title], but that stuff is out of my control. I can just do what I can do."
He also talked about his frustration about being left out of the Money in the Bank PLE:
"I was gutted about Money in the Bank, but obviously delighted Butch was in there and did a hell of a job. Ridge the night before against Theory, I'd have liked to have seen him get a bit more time in there. I was just bitter I wasn't [wrestling on the show]. They know when they put me on Smackdown every week they're going to get two or three killer segments, but when it comes to the pay per views and you have the part-timers coming into the limelight, that stings a little bit. All it does is motivate me more and more. I haven't lost my passion, I haven't lost my momentum and I can still go in the ring. As long as I can do all of those things, I'll keep going until the wheels fall off."
At 45 he talked about how much longer he will wrestle:
"All it does is motivate me more and more. I haven't lost my passion, I haven't lost my momentum and I can still go in the ring. As long as I can do all of those things, I'll keep going until the wheels fall off."
