Former Lucha Britannia Super Star now on WWE's ECW!



Former Lucha Britannia super star, Sheamus 'SOS' O'Shaughnessy is now a force to be reckoned with on WWE's ECW.


The young giant from Ireland was battling his way through the Lucha Britannia team just two short years ago and is now terrorizing the roster of ECW with his monstrous arsenal of moves and power.


Lucha superstar Shiro Yoshida has had first hand experience of the Irish Curse.


"Sheamus is a big, strong, angry man! I was on the receiving end of one of his freak outs at the end of one of my matches against Bradford W Bush. He ran into the ring, pretended to assist me but instead smashed me with his axe, slammed me to the canvas, and choked me unconscious with his weapon. We all thought he was honorable till then...However i hold no ill will and wish him the best of luck, wherever he may compete."


Sheamus is currently a rising star on ECW along side fellow Brit's, Paul Burchill and Katie Lea, and they are now part of the largest wrestling federation in the world.
