  • I cannot think of anyone I have cheered for more over the years in WWE than Sheamus. Thinking back on the last 10 years this guys has been so underrated. I mean a couple years ago it was questionable whether Sheamus would wrestle again because of spinal stenosis. I hope he gets the IC title to complete his super grand slam.
  • Sheamus is probably the most underrated Wrestler in the world, he has always been an Elite level worker.
  • Gunther is on the (very) shortlist of wrestlers I'll pay money to watch in 2022. His style is REAL wrestling art.
  • The fact they built the whole match around the 10 Beats, a silly spot we've seen like a thousand times over 13 years, and made it the best fiery babyface comeback of the year....kudos
  • @Funkmonkv1
    Clash at the Castle was amazing, can’t wait for NXT & AEW tonight
  • @perry4799
    This is the kind of match you could do in literally any promotion, at any point in history, anywhere in the world and it's still going to rock. Really great match.
  • @rexdudeclone
    The thumbnail tells the story better than anyone could say.. Just incredible pro wrestling, man.....
  • Sheamus has always worked best when he has an opponent who will beat the crap out of him and will get the crap beaten out of him in exchange. It'snot something every wrestler can do. . . but it's a safe bet that Gunther is one of those folks.
  • @TMPS93
    This was the best match I have seen in months. This and FTR/Briscoes 1 both were absolute works of art that made me just sit there and go "I fucking love wrestling."
  • These two beat the Holiest of hell’s out of each other. And it was GLORIOUS!!
  • So Happy for Sheamus, so happy for Gunther. Great stuff, this match. Icing on the cake: Imperium is back!
  • @elguapo4268
    Sheamus has a strong record of bangers. He even had one with Big Show which is hard to do.
  • Dave basically saying he’s giving it 5 stars without saying it out loud lol
  • @kmew94
    When it comes to wwe, this was an all timer in my opinion. One of my favorite matches I’ve ever seen. These guys went to war.
  • @rigorockon
    More of this, please. Best match I’ve seen since Walter/Gunther fought Dragnov. This is a wrestling match that felt like a fight. Makes the IC championship more prestigious when guys are willing to put each other through all this pain to be the best.
  • @Rebornblader
    I think this takes Match of the Year in my opinion so far. It was so good. I loved it.
  • @dogred431
    Incredible match and Sheamus and Walter should be really proud of it. I was lucky enough to see it in person. Hope they are both rewarded with a decent push. Would love to see them go again for a world title.

    I showed this to coworkers who were lapsed wrestling fans. I also showed them the Miz/Lumis stuff lately for laughs. On both a in-ring and entertainment level, it piqued their interest. Good stuff all around.
