Professional wrestling career

Training and debut (2002–2004)

Farrelly was inspired to become a professional wrestler by watching British wrestling onWorld of Sportand American wrestling via theWWF.[15]Following advice given to him byBret Hart,[14]he began training atLarry Sharpe's Monster Factory wrestling school in April 2002,[8]alongsideTank TolandandCliff Compton.[14]Six weeks later, he officially debuted as afan favoriteagainst Robert Pigeon under the nameSheamus O'Shaunessy.After hitting an opponentin the groin,he gained the nickname of the "Irish Curse"[13](a reference to a slang term supposedly denoting a man's inability to perform sexually after consuming an excessive amount of whiskey).[17]He soon suffered a serious neck injury afterbotchingahip toss,[14]sidetracking his career for two years.[8]

Farrelly developed his wrestling character by drawing onCeltic mythology,moving away from Irish stereotypes oflucky charms,leprechauns,andalcoholismwhile aiming to portray afiann,a type of mythical Irish warrior.[14]Having attended anIrish-speaking school,he was aware ofthe four cycles of Irish mythologyand, inspired by the artwork ofJim Fitzpatrick,incorporated sword- and axe-wielding imagery into hisgimmick.[14][15]This included the design of his own pendant, the crossos, which combines theCeltic crosswith aCeltic War swordto illustrate his character's "indigenous origins with a hybrid of warrior strength matched with a strong ethical centre".[14]

Sheamus O'Shaunessy after retaining the IWW International Heavyweight Championship in November 2005

O'Shaunessy spent the rest of the year engaged in a rivalry with Vid Vain after losing to his tag team partner Joey Cabray the same night he won the battle royal. On 22 and 23 October they traded wins,[18][19]leading to O'Shaunessy recruiting help from CJ Summers to help defeat the tag team on 24 October.[20]O'Shaunessy was still unsuccessful to defeat Vain in singles action the following day.[21]Despite these losses, his impressive showings earned him a place againstAlex Shanein a guest match for theFrontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA) British Heavyweight Championship.[22]Although he put on a proficient exhibit and came close to win, his friend Red Vinny interfered in the match and cost him the championship.[9]

In March 2005, he avenged this loss by teaming withRavento defeat Shane and Vinny.[23]This victory was part of a winning streak over the end of March where O'Shaunessy wrestled twice a day on 24, 25, 26 – including an 11-man Rumble win – and 27 March with a standard tag match and a ten-man tag team match.[23][24][25][26]This series of victories, aside from one loss bydisqualificationto Vain,[25]put him to a good form for the one-day tournament held inCounty Kildareto crown the inauguralIWW International Heavyweight Champion.On 28 March, O'Shaunessy put an end to his main rivalries when he defeated Vinny and then Vain in the quarter and semi finals, respectively.[27]He met Darren Burridge in the final match and won to become IWW's first champion,[citation needed]but had to compete again in an evening show in Dublin, defeating Burridge and Vinny once more in a tag match alongside Vain.[28]

O'Shaunessy's first successful title defence came against Burridge the following month[29]but Burridge would not let his grudge rest, continuing to attack O'Shaunessy and finally costing him the title during a match againstD'Lo Brownon 29 May.[9][30]O'Shaunessy earned revenge in July by defeating Burridge in a grudge match,[31]though lost to him in anarm wrestlingcontest the following day.[32]Still, he continued on his quest to regain the title[9]by winning a contendership three-way match against Vinny and Red Viper in August[33]setting him up to regain the International Heavyweight Championship in October from Brown inNewcastle upon TyneinEngland.[34]

After defending his title againstVampiro[35]and Viper,[36]O'Shaunessy found himself embroiled in a new feud with risingScottishwrestling star "Thee"Drew Galloway,whom he later admitted was his toughest opponent.[37]On 28 January 2006, he received his first championship match, evolving their rivalry from previous non-title contests.[38]The rivalry quickly took on a patriotic flavour, with Galloway's blue colours of Scotland clashing O'Shaunnesy's green colours of Ireland, mirroring theOld FirmfootballderbybetweenRangersandCeltic,respectively.[39]This football allusion became particularly prominent when the two met again at Verona Football Club again for the title, though the match changed into aLumberjack match,the result and champion remained the same.[40]

With Galloway defeated, O'Shaunessy continued to dominate by again defending his title against Vampiro on 17 March.[41]Galloway earned himself atwo out of three falls matchagainst the champion the following day, however, which O'Shaunessy won two falls to one;[42]the next day produced the same result[43]in a match O'Shaunessy claimed was his best on theindependent circuit.[37]With Galloway briefly answered, O'Shaunessy took on the newcomer Pierre Marcaeu and defeated him in two successive title matches only to find Galloway had earned another shot.[44][45]With their rivalry intensifying, Galloway's next challenge to O'Shaunnesy was given the stipulation of aLast Man Standing match.O'Shaunessy retained the title,[46]as he also did in June with the same stipulation.[47]Finally, on 28 August, O'Shaunessy lost the IWW International Heavyweight Championship in a singles match to Galloway in what would be his last appearance with the promotion.[48][49]

During his time overseas he worked for Brian Dixon'sAll Star Wrestling,[52]which gave him a taste of large audiences that he had not experienced in Ireland,[14]as well as wrestling English veteranRobbie Brooksideand other British wrestlers, includingNigel McGuinnessandDoug Williams.[14]He also represented the UK in a Battle of the Nations tag team match between the UK and Austria alongsideDrew McDonaldandThe Celtic Warriorin a losing effort against Chris Raaber, Michael Kovac, and Robert Ray Kreuzer at the European Wrestling Association's Night of Gladiators.[53]

As well as making top contender appearances based on his growing reputation, O'Shaunessy also brought with him to Britain his long-standing rivalry with Galloway. He had already wrestled in Galloway's home promotion,British Championship Wrestling(BCW), twice in 2005, losing to Jay Phoenix on the day before Phoenix lost to Galloway in March,[54]and returning in September to defeat one of BCW's top stars, Wolfgang, viacountout.[55]In the middle of their IWW feud the following year, O'Shaunessy went back to Scotland to take part in BCW's Path To Glory tour, defeating Galloway on the first night[56]but conceding a loss to him the next night in May.[57]Though their feud finished in Ireland in August 2006, it continued on across theIrish Seawhen the two wrestled for the umbrella promotion Real Quality Wrestling (RQW) the following year. The two first met during April'sTaking On The Worldshow which ended in a double countout.[58]The lack of a decision led to a rematch in June, and one of O'Shaunessy's last on the independent circuit, where Galloway picked up the victory in aNo Holds Barred matchahead of an RQW Heavyweight Championship match.[59]
