Splendid news, truly splendid. A historic day for this little island of ours.
WWE are showing the ICC how to organise international sport. None of this nonsense about Mr O’Shaughnessy being compelled to change his nationality to compete at the highest level. His nationality isn’t a barrier.
Is this the day we matured as a nation?

I think we have already matured, we saw that 2 years ago in Croke Park. However we have now truly arrived on the World stage. Now perhaps we can leave behind the disgrace Michelle SAmith done to this country’s reputation.
We have a true world sporting superstar.
Arise Seamus, arise.
Woah, woah, woah. Let’s not forget Dave ‘Fit’ Finlay has been flying the Irish flag in WWE for many, many years. Sheamus is just a welcome new arrival to continue the legacy.
What about Hornswaggle?
and Davey Boy Smith
Seamus can take us the next step bando, its all about steps.
Ah Finlay is a Northy. Seamus is from Cabra.
Correct. Northies don’t count. [Sorry Larry]
Partitionist scoundrel.
I see we have another one, Bray’s own Finn Balor, taking World Wrestling Entertainment by storm. He is aiming to become the first ever WWE Universal Champion. Yes that is correct, he will be crowned the best wrestler in the whole universe, as the name suggests.
He will be fighting in the main event at Summerslam, one day after UFC 202 when that clown from Crumlin fights. Those of us old school fight fans will be ignoring the latter and embracing the former. For such a prestigious and unique title, he deserves all of our support.
And he wins! Aboy Fergal Devitt! WWE “Universal” Champion. Basically he is the World Champion of the Raw brand.
As the fans chanted to him in the ring last night “YOU DESERVE IT!”
Here is his ring entrance. Even by WWE standards it’s fairly out there.
He’s a cross between Spiderman and the first Slayer from Buffy. His entrance music is fucking awesome.

Best wrestler in the universe. Team GB can’t say that have that.
Another World Champion for our fair isle. Congratulations Becky, what a day for the WWE fans of TFK
Hopefully she lasts a bit longer that Finn did as champion.
I broke down in tears when I heard the news. We are a nation of fighters.
There won’t be a cow milked on @bandage’s balcony in GCD tonight.
