Sheamus and Claudio Castagnoli (Cesaro in WWE) went from bitter rivals to top tier tag team in 2016 when they formed The Bar after a best-of-seven series against each other.
The duo went on to win the WWE Tag Team Titles five times.
At WWE Roadblock 2016, they defeated The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E) to wn the WWE Raw Tag Team Titles and end the 483-day reign of New Day. The finish saw Sheamus jump on Kofi after Kofi hit Claudio with the Trouble in Paradise, thinking he was the legal man.
Speaking to Robbie Fox on My Mom's Basement, Sheamus was asked about the finish and whose idea it was.
"That was Cesaro, that was 100% Claudio Castagnoli. That’s his mind. Still one of the greatest. I was like, man, you want my fat ass to jump onto Kofi [laughs], but it was unbelievable. That was just Claudio, man. He was unbelievable to work with. He’s one of the reasons why, at that stage of my career, he just totally reinvigorated me, brought my passion back to where it should be. But yeah, that was unbelievable, man. The fake tag was an incredible finish, unbelievable. So creative. That’s Tony, though. That’s 'Big Dick Tony.' That’s what everyone calls him, by the way, in the locker room. 'Big Dick Tony' [laughs]."
Bryan Danielson would never talk about flaccid penis' around "Big Dick Tony."
Elsewhere during the interview, Sheamus discussed the storytelling art of Sami Zayn. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
