Here is we present interview of WWE superstar Sheamus,
How did it feel to beat Daniel Bryan in just 18 seconds?
"It was phenomenal. It was my second WrestleMania, I had my whole family there. I opened the WrestleMania show, became the World Heavyweight Champion in 18 seconds so a record was made there and it was an incredible experience for me, one I will never forget."
The crowd went barmy when you won, but would you have been happier with a longer bout?
"I
was happy to walk out heavyweight champion regardless! I obviously
wanted to have a WrestleMania match, something special, but the problem
was I just didn't trust Daniel Bryan. The Raw before that he screwed me
out of the match with Kane by using [his girlfriend] AJ as a
distraction. I wasn't sure if he was going to do that again, so it made
perfect sense to me.
"I didn't want him walking away or running away and getting himself disqualified or getting me disqualified. He's done that in the past. I saw the opening with AJ, I took it, I ripped his head off and I walked out World Heavyweight Champion in a record 18 seconds."
Why did you get into wrestling in the first place?
"I watched it for years. I watched it since World of Sport on ITV. People like Regal, Robbie Brookside, Dave Taylor, Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy. Then Sky came along with WWE and I've been a fan ever since I can remember."
Where do you see the future of WWE?
"I think we're evolving all the time. If you look back in the '80s at what the superstars were like and what they're like now. We're much more athletic. We can move better than we ever have. I think we're the best athletes in the world. We never take any time off, we're on the go minimum four days a week.
"I don't think anyone else can do what we do, so right now we're in a great place. We're putting on very exciting, entertaining matches for everybody and I think that you see our fans are enjoying it more than ever."
You had a bad neck injury at the start of your career - has that made you more careful? Can you be more careful?
"I trained for about two and a half months and then I got hurt, I got into WWE properly in
'05. You can't think about that. If you go in thinking that you might hurt yourself, then you're gonna hurt yourself. You're going to be more likely to cause something to strain or mess up. I think that you have to have a good mind about you.
"But it also gives us a good message to give to fans - please don't try what we do - we're highly trained and still injuries can occur. If you want to imitate what we do, buy the action figures or play the video games. Don't actually physically try what we do."
It's a long way off, but are you already thinking about what could go down in 2014 at WrestleMania XXX?
"No, you can't. You have to think one pay-per-view at a time. I've got the Money In The Bank match, a world title match, soon with Alberto del Rio on Monday, July 16. You've got to work on the next one and the one after that. You can't look too far ahead.
"Obviously it's going to be great and it'll be here in no time, but the way you do it is one week at a time, and that's the way I try to be successful. Keep your eye on the prize and everything else will fall into place."
If you could wrestle anyone in history, who would it be?
"I definitely think The Undertaker. The Undertaker is the one I want for WrestleMania XXIX or XXX. Obviously something like that would be - his streak - no-one has ever beaten him on his streak and I could be the first to ever do that."
Are you thinking of doing more movies as time goes on?
"I'm just concentrating on my career right now. I have a lot to achieve, a lot to accomplish. Everything else is a bonus. Don't get me wrong, if they want me to do it and it feels right I'll gladly do it, but WWE is right now where my priority lies."
What's your favourite type of WWE match?
"The street fight. I love a street fight. Kendo sticks, chairs, brawling everywhere, not worrying about the count. Just a good old-fashioned fight where anything and everything gets picked up and used. It's definitely my favourite match, it definitely suits me and favours me more than anything."
If young people really do want to become WWE superstars, what advice would you give them?
"I'd definitely recommend first that they get their college education. It's very important to have something to fall back on, because it's a very low success rate. Don't begin wrestling until you're at least 18 years old. You really want to let your body mature and grow as much as it can before you put all that impact on it.
"And get yourself in shape. You need to stand there, you need to look good, you need to look different to a normal person. A lot of people make that mistake, they don't pay attention to how they are physically. Wearing a pair of tights they look awful, with their bellies hanging out. You have to look the part "
