I'm re watching the promo right now, and let me break it down for you. Chicago, CM Punk's hometown, Sheamus, a man nowhere near from that place, opens the show, with Punk on the card and their WWE champ. Nobody came to see Sheamus open the show, and he wasn't even booed when he was talking. Sheamus also didn't even talk for more than a min before Punk (the person they came to see) interrupted him. I'm not gonna act like Sheamus has never been stale, because a lot of people I have liked, have been. But I don't know where you're dragging all this info from.
Punk made Sheamus look like a goof in his hometown and rightfully so. Sheamus wasn't the man to go out there and act like he was from there.
