Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Superstars of 2012

December 24, 2012

Number 6: Sheamus

Holding the World Heavyweight Championship for over 3 months is a feat in the WWE these days. After winning the Royal Rumble in January, Sheamus would go on to kick off Wrestlemania with an 18 second victory to claim the World Heayweight Championship. After that day, it would take Sheamus until Hell in a Cell in October, which calculated as 210 days as champion, to end his reign. During this time, Sheamus wrestled excellent matches with the likes of Daniel Bryan, Alberto Del Rio, Big Show, and Rey Mysterio. Many criticize his storylines with opponents, but Sheamus has been a consistent work horse in the WWE. Whether he faces a 500 pounder or a 180 pounder, he continually improves his game and gives it all he has. The work ethic is second to none, and his continued ability to get over with the crowd is impressive. I expect him to go back as a heel in 2013, but 2012 was certainly an impressive year for the Celtic Warrior.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
