Summary
Four-time WWE World Champion Sheamus joins Chad Ochocinco and Raheem Taylor-Parkes on The Late Run during WrestleMania week. A lifelong Liverpool fan from Dublin, Sheamus tells the insane story of wearing a Liverpool kit on live TV in Manchester — bottles thrown, fans swinging, and he calls it the best moment of his career. He picks Maradona as the real GOAT over Messi and Ronaldo, explains why winning a WWE title is harder than scoring a World Cup goal, reveals he'd trade his WWE Championships for Ireland to win a World Cup, reacts to Rooney slapping Wade Barrett, debates Jordan vs LeBron, and breaks down why European fan culture is on another level compared to America. Plus: Van Dijk as the greatest PL center back ("nobody will say Carragher"), Euro 88 changing Ireland forever, the Super Bowl as a corporate event, and Ocho's pitch for Sheamus to walk out to "You'll Never Walk Alone."
