WWE.com currently features an exclusive interview with WWE Superstar Sheamus talking about his upcoming role as Rocksteady in TMNT2.
Below are some excerpts from that interview. You can read the full interview by clicking HERE.
WWE.COM: Everyone had their favorite Ninja Turtles character. Who was yours?
SHEAMUS: My favorite Turtle was Michelangelo, but I really did love Bebop and Rocksteady. I know how that sounds and people will say, “Oh that’s just because you’re playing Rocksteady,” but they were great! They would come on the screen and you knew something was going to happen. There was going to be some kind of chaos or mayhem, or a great fight scene with the Turtles was coming. You also knew they were going to cause Shredder some kind of headache. It was just fun every time they appeared, and they always provided great comic relief.
WWE.COM: How did you end up getting the role of Rocksteady?
SHEAMUS: I ended up getting a call from WWE letting me know about the auditions. I didn’t hear anything for a while and I just thought, “It’s such a massive role, I’ll be amazed if I get it,” but I had to give it a go. My expectations weren’t too high, but I eventually met with one of the producers, talked about my desire for the role and the plan around it, and then I was offered the role.
Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles: Out of the Shadows officially opens in theaters today!
