Big Show Has Some Harsh Words For Shaquille O’Neal

We’ve been hearing about the Big Show vs. Shaquille O’Neal match for almost a year, and now that we’re a little over a month away from WrestleMania 33, it looks like the match isn’t going to happen.

If you follow Big Show on Instagram, then you know that he’s gotten himself in great shape for his rumored match with Shaq, so he’s clearly taking the match seriously. But, it doesn’t seem that Shaq is taking the match as seriously, which is why WWE is uncertain if the match will happen.

During an interview with WWE.com, Big Show explained why he thinks Shaq isn’t taking the match seriously, and he also explained why he’s gotten himself into the best shape of his career.

“I mean, here’s the thing. We shot this off at the ESPY Awards, Shaq said he’s in, I thought this would be a good match for fans to see two giants go at it. And I see Shaq riding around, singing karaoke and stopping in at Krispy Kreme. I’m like, ‘Hey! If you’re not gonna take it serious, find something else to do!’ I’ve given 22 years of my blood, sweat and tears to this business and I’m doing this favor to Shaq. This could be my last WrestleMania. He needs to step up. I’m not trying to be mean, but my time’s valuable. I get it. I don’t have foot powder commercials, car commercials, insurance commercials. I get it. He’s a busy man. But if he’s gonna step in the ring, in my business, at our biggest event of the year? Show me you’re serious. If anything, talk a little trash. Let me know you’re motivated. Because right now? I just get the feeling he’s terrified. He shot his mouth off, he’s in over his head and he’s trying to back out. So just let me know what’s going on, brother.”

Big Show challenges Shaq to a match at WrestleMania

WWE has been flirting with the idea of doing a Big Show vs. Shaq match for many years, but it’s never happened. We did get a brief preview of it during last year’s Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and, as of right now, it looks like that’s the only Big Show vs. Shaq confrontation that we’re ever going to see at a WrestleMania event.
