He was great with Jindrak in WCW at first. Two agile big guys, I thought they were gonna be huge. Then they split up and they were never the same.
He had a great look and gimmick in the WWE but it just fizzled out. Roddy Piper overshadowed him and really brought nothing to the product.
He had some legal issues later on and that sucks. He was definitely a guy with untapped potential.

So sad Always liked him, I was a kid during his run from 2000-2003. Wasn't until years later that I discovered those Devil's Advocate vignettes as I watched sporadically in the first half of 2003. That character had great potential. I talked about his gimmick fairly often with a couple of people on Twitter, one guy in particular I know who's a huge Sean O'Haire fan, he's gutted. Rest in peace.

He was never buried, guy was a liability which is why WWE never went further with him. Last i recall he was in jail or arrested for strangling his wife.

Damn shame. O'Haire was a guy who was mega talented. Wished he had more of an opportunity. His failures in WWE led to his failures in life and some very poor choices. He had rebounded, but is now gone. Damn, damn shame.

Wow, that sucks. R.I.P Sean O'Haire.
The thing that really sucks is Nancy Dis-Grace will probably jump all over it.

I will always remember his match with Rikishi at Backlash 2003. Very sad. I used to love playing him in HCTP. RIP.

He was the kinda guy who I never actually knew who he was even when he was there, I just remember him hanging around with Roddy Piper in 2003 and I really didn't like him at the time. But obviously it's still sad to see he's gone and at such an age.

I remember when they were doing vignettes for that devil's advocate gimmick, people thought he was going to get a big push. I was one of those people. I thought it would lead to big things. It should have because it was a new gimmick and Sean was a great worker. I also remember 10 years the IWC complaining hard that Bradshaw from the APA was getting a rich cowboy gimmick and getting an instant main event push. I was one of those people too. A lot of people thought O'Hare should have been Eddie Guerrero's next wwe title challenger after wrestlemania 20. That would have been nice. O'hare was a great worker, but I understand he didn't have a good attitude hence why he didn't become a star.
It's a shame another wrestler has to die young. RIP Sean O'Haire.

Damn....Another one dying young. When you die that young as a wrestler, it is either one of two things, either drug related or heart attack. Just go by statistics and WAY more often than not, it's one of those for sure.
O'Haire was a pretty damn good wrestler, but couldn't seem to catch a decent break in WWE. He should've been an Intercontinental champion, at least, but that wasn't meant to be. He was good when he was a part of The Alliance.
R.I.P.

I still remember the first time I saw him in wCw the first words out of my mouth were "there is a future WWE champion". He had the size, the look, and the move set to be a big name. Shame it never happened.
Very sad to hear of his passing.

R.I.P. O'Haire. Miss the infamous duo of Jindrak and O'Haire in late 2000 with O'Haire performing Swanton Bombs off the top rope. I was also a big fan of their tag team. I thought they would both have great careers.

It's way beyond the point where I'm not surprised to hear about any former or current pro wrestler passing away and that's a shame. All I can do is shake my head and pray for his family. I liked O'Haire and I too thought he could have been a real good midcard player. It sucks, no matter who it is, dying at this age. Hell, I'm 43 as well.
Rest In Peace Sean. If the demons are what helped this, I hope they are silent now.

He was my guy during the backend of WCW. He was just that guy I saw and immediately thought he was flying to the top of the card. I liked everything about him and he is still the very first guy I bring up in the "what if" threads. I was caught super off guard by this when I saw it last night. Just not something you expect to see and makes me extremely sad. I was always hoping he would get it together and show up somewhere again, but life isn't always about redemption and happy endings. Damn shame.
