Shaq Says Talks Have Resumed With WWE For WrestleMania Match

Shaq revealed on his most recent podcast “The Big Podcast With Shaq” that he and WWE have begun discussing him having a match at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando. Shaq and Big Show have teased for months they would fight one another at WrestleMania but things seemingly took a sour turn the last month or so, with Big Show going so far as to say Shaq was too fat to wrestle. It sounds like things are moving in the right direction again and that NBA legend Shaq might be ready for “The Ultimate Thrill Ride”, WrestleMania.

The Big Podcast With Shaq

Starts at around the 7:00 mark.

Shaq: I’ve talked to somebody high up in the organization and they… we’re back talking again. I just want the people to know it had nothing to do with me, despite what you hear.

Other host: Every headline this week: “Big Show Trying to Back Out of WrestleMania Match.” They’re painting you as cowardly.

Shaq: I haven’t seen it.

Other host: But you’re back talking?

Shaq: Yeah, we talked yesterday. But I didn’t know that. I got a song for you Big Show, and it goes something like this. (“Never Scared” by Bone Crusher plays) Big Show, I ain’t never scared. You can cancel that. It’s not in my vocabulary, brother. I’m gonna see you. Don’t worry about it, Big Show. The world isn’t big enough for me not to see you.
