With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, I took the opportunity to talk to WWE Superstars Finn Balor, Becky Lynch, Fit Finlay and Sheamus about what their Irish heritage means to them.

They are all proudly Irish and love educating the rest of us about their wonderful and unique culture.

I asked Finn what he misses most about his home in Ireland.

“First and foremost, I miss my family that seems to get older every time I visit home,” said the native of Bray, Ireland. “I miss the friends I grew up with who now have children of their own. I miss the people you meet on the street on a day-to-day basis and their ‘Irish wit’ and humour. I miss the buses and the trains that take people in and out of Dublin. I miss the smell of spilt Guinness in the pubs. I miss the scenery, the hills and mountains, the rugged coasts, the choppy cold, cold waters, the stony beaches and the wind that could cut you in half.

“I miss the air; you can feel it fill your lungs as you step out of the airport. I miss the tea, the endless cups of tea, the rashers, the black pudding, the milk, and I even miss the tap water!”
