Sheamus confirmed for 'That's What I Am' screening

I just got off the phone with the folks at World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and they have confirmed that former two-time WWE Champion Sheamus will appear at the free screening for the film That's What I Am on Tuesday, September 27 at 9:30 a.m. at the Moolah Theater in St. Louis. Sheamus will speak to the children about how he was bullied as a kid in his native Ireland and what they can do to stop bullying in their schools and communities. For those not familiar with the WWE Superstar known as 'The Celtic Warrior' have a look at the following clip of him in action on the most recent edition of Monday Night Raw (email subscribers click here).



On WWE television, Sheamus plays a character who solves all of his problems with his fists. On Tuesday, September 27, he will convey the message that his character is just that - a character. Problems solved with brute for usually lead to more problems. Sheamus is now 6ft. 6in. tall and weighs 280lbs., but try to imagine him 20 years ago as a kid. He was a tall, lanky kid with fire-red hair and almost pale skin. Sheamus would have been an easy target for bullies. The Sports Commission and WWE want to show kids that there is a path to end bullying. Join us on Tuesday, September 27 at the Moolah Theater at 9:30 a.m. for a free screening of the film That's What I Am. Please call 314-345-5130 or email salexander@stlsports.org  to register your school or youth organization today. Until next time...

Be a Good Sport!
