WWE star Sheamus has been on a roll lately, having banger after banger after banger after banger.

But, according to the Celtic Warrior, the men's WarGames Match from last year's Survivor Series was not one of them.

Sheamus tagged with Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens and the Brawling Brutes to lose to The Bloodline in the two-ring double-cage main event match. Survivor Series marked the first time the stipulation (which originated in the NWA during the 1980s) had been used on the main WWE roster.

Asked about the experience during a recent appearance on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, Sheamus noted that he had mixed feelings about it overall, saying:

"Yeah, yeah, it was cool, it was cool (being part of Survivor Series: WarGames). You know, I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I thought it was alright, I thought it could have been better. It's a different type of match and I think the fact that people don't get eliminated until everybody gets in but, it was alright. Yeah, I had fun, it was grand. It was another experience for me. I've done a lot in this business. It was another type of match I've never been in. So it was cool. In that respect, it was cool. 

"I don't have any criticisms about it. I just thought it was…I thought it was alright. If I go back through my career, it's not something I go, oh! That moment there, that WarGames match. That wouldn't be up there anywhere near my top five or ten, you know? I've had some great matches, Hell in a Cell, I really like the one I had against Randy (Orton). Money in the Bank matches, Cage matches, the one with John (Cena) at Money in the Bank years ago…I just felt at the time, the story was — we (Brawling Brutes) were there as the opponents. The stories hadn't really heated up to that point so it was going a different direction which is just the way it is sometimes with storylines. But as I said, it was cool to go in there and be involved in a match like that but, it's not something I'm gonna look back on my career and go, yeah man! That first WarGames match I was in was on the main roster, yeah! I don't think so".

Sheamus has been battling with GUNTHER of late, in his quest to win the WWE Intercontinental Title for the first time.
