Don't think anyone doubts his ability to take a beating. Just need more of it
That spot going through the ladder wasthough.
Dude has been booked like Strong Cena for the past year or so... He definitely needs a few beatdowns

I don't hate Sheamus but he's always been 
status to me
status to me
That first gif makes me cringe. That's how you tear an ACL right there
Fella gets it done between the ropes. That can't be taken away from him
-P-
I don't have to give him shyt. You can tell he was legit mad when RVD snatched that ladder and he fell on his leg fukked up. Lawler or Cole said something RIGHT AFTER that happened that almost exposed the business with that slick reference to a botch ala how JR used to do with the "Bowling shoe ugly" commentary. Sheamus and RVD interacted later and he punched him hard and I think he hit that Brogue kick a little too stiff. Dude was furious

I thought so too, but Sheamus has a reputation for hitting hard in the ring. (not in a botchy way, more in a "strong style" way according to his peers). He hit Punk pretty hard during their exchange too. I took it as him going 
and returning the favor.

First off,...
You talking like he is Samoa Joe between the ropes in the mid 2000's.
Duke is pretty much matt Morgan and bull Buchanan with beaker and groundskeeper Willie's genetics.
You are suffering from attaching familiarity with greatness.
When it is just the lack of actual current relevant talent to compare him to.
Duke is no better than any other so-called big man worker in the e in the past fifteen years.
He still has yet to have a moment or match as good as test and Shane for starters.

Hopefully,..these gif's illustrate how much trash he is as a worker.
Duke is clit associated, and protected.
While, everyone in ring is unprotected from his shotty ring work.
I give sheamus credit for ramping up on his mic skills and comfortability on camer, though.
Which is easy to do,...
If you are protected and never generally booked as poor as the rest of the roster.
on top, of working in a promotion with a neutered moveset.
So, the coo is never overshadowed and exposed for potent actual inring workrate and lack of offense.
Sheamus is nuffin, more than the litmus test.
for cripple ache to see what he will and will not allow inring, to keep cripple ache from looking bad.

Smh,...
At nikkaz giving duke credit, after mitb.
When anyone could see he was out of his element taking bumps and offense in the mitb match.
Last night, was just an exposal of what the bookers generally cover up.
Duke is Chris Adams as the renegade status, inring.

shytty corner elbows = smashmouth ringrope strike to ten
Brogue kick = carbon foot print
Anybody can look good when they are thrust in the title picture and protected by his buddies.
Only difference is Morgan was not protected wel enough by ho kogun.
Opposed to sheamus who is protected by cripple ache.

So that's no one, right? :smugcena:
My statement was of this generation. I didn't say he's the goat or some other hyperbole that gets used around here. Dude even had a couple of good matches with Big Show (WAY past his prime) of all people...
I consider Test an Attitude Era alumni, but he was dope...

Dude is usually
on the mic though. His workrate is better than his mic skills by a substantial amount....
