Shaq Vs. Big Show Could Still Happen at WrestleMania

Well, it looks like the talks between WWE and former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal are still going on, even though it was recently reported that the match between Shaq and Big Show won’t happen at WrestleMania 33, likely due to financial reasons. But, according to the world’s largest athlete, WWE is still negotiating with the ex-NBA great, which means that the match could still happen.

During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Big Show expressed his frustration with the NBA big man by saying that WWE is still trying to make “princess Shaq” happy, which is his way of saying that the two sides are still talking.

“I want to do this match. It certainly isn’t on me. I’m serious and dedicated. Whether Shaq has other obligations or business, that’s on him. As far as I know, we’re still trying to make Princess Shaq happy so we can move forward with the match at WrestleMania. I have a lot of respect for Shaq. He’s one of the greatest NBA centers of all time. But here’s the thing, and I say this with all humility, I’m one of the greatest big men ever in the WWE.

“I’m giving Shaq the opportunity to showcase himself at our biggest event of the year. He is an entertainer and he is an attraction, and he is a heck of an athlete. But he’s hemming and hawing saying it’s somebody else’s fault. If you want to do this, come do this. This is something where Shaq saw how great of shape I was in, and he decided to back out. That’s a personal thing on Shaq.”
