On the 100th episode of Shaq’s podcast, The Big Podcast With Shaq, he gave his side of the story about why his match against the Big Show that WWE was trying to put together did not happen.
O’Neal: “Because they kept playing. First, they said it was me and Big Show. Then, they said it was going to be 3 and 3. Then, they cancelled it so when they cancelled it, I made other arrangements. And then they tried to call back and tried to get it done, and I just said, ‘I’m not going to do it.’ They messed it up.”
Kinkade: “And my theory all along – this is not his commentary – I have a hard time believing that somebody would read a script where he would lose in anything.”
O’Neal: “So you’re saying I didn’t want to lose? It’s for the kids, John. I would have lost for the kids. For the kids.”
Kinkade: “You are competitive.”
Gass: “The man did Kazaam for God’s sake.”
O’Neal: “Exactly, yes. I would have lost.”
