No loss. I wonder who Big Show will face if the match is off.

Shaq is bitch. He loves running his mouth. That time he appeared on Raw as guest host calling Show "fat boy" and referring to Jericho as "Christina". What gems those were.

"I mean, here's the thing," Big Show said. "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."

Recently on The Big Podcast With Shaq, professional basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal claimed that his heavily speculated match against The Big Show at WrestleMania 33 probably will not happen.

O'Neal responded to being told that The Big Show has been quoted in the media as saying the match probably will not happen by saying that it is probably true and that it is not his fault.

"That's probably right. It's not my fault. That's all you need to know. It ain't my fault," O'Neal said. "Oh, it ain't my fault. It [doesn't] matter what they say. I'm just letting you know. It has nothing to do with The Diesel and his management. That's all I've got to say. But, but, but, it's not totally off yet. But it's not looking good. But it doesn't matter. I'm still working out. I still look way better than Big Show and I'll still meet him anywhere he wants to meet."

As noted, the scheduled Big Show vs. Shaquille O'Neal match at WrestleMania 33 appears to be in danger of falling through. Shaq recently confirmed that the match might not happen, and said that it was not his fault. The Big Show spoke with ESPN, and indicated that Shaq's fitness may be to blame for Shaq turning down the match.

"He's got to be what, 440, 450 pounds?" Big Show said. "He's gotten pretty fat. Me on the other hand? I just weighed in this morning -- 379 pounds.

"Maybe he doesn't want to put on spandex and show the entire world that Shaquille O'Neal, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, looks like Jabba the Hutt. It's on him. He has to weigh these consequences in his own mind. Does he want the world to know how fat and out of shape he is? Or does he want to sit back and talk s-it into a podcast?"

If Show really wants to see Shaq invest in this Show should start tweeting that Shaq is not half the man JaVlae McGee is let alone the player.

Shame for Show. Only saying this because I'd pretty much rather see anything other than Styles/Shane, but I'd love to see AJ Styles vs Big Show in a singles match. That's kinda a dream match that I never thought we'd see, and probably won't ever see. Big Show is one of those guys where it doesn't take much to build him up as legit again, they could easily just throw him back into the world title scene if they wanted to, and it'd feel right.

Re: Big Show Says Shaq Is Trying To Back Out Of WrestleMania

Fuck Shaq.

Let Big Show do the honourable thing and put Strowman over on the biggest stage of them all. Let them have the big Wrestlemania atmosphere, let them pull out all the stops. The story writes itself, Big Show knows he can still go and wants to fight Strowman at Mania. Strowman doesn't wasnt it because he's already beat him. Big Show continuously chases down Strowman, interfering in his matches etc. Strowman continues to say no until Show puts his career on the line.

BOOM.

Braun Strowman vs. Big Show at Wrestlemania and if Big Show loses he retires.

This would be so much better...Big Show is working so hard in the gym, he looks fantastic and in the best shape of his career right now and I don't want to see that wasted on Shaq...Strowman vs Big Show at WM would be something to get excited about

Massive shame if this was cut.

I was looking forward to the 9 hour Wrestlemania. Guess it will only be the 8 hours and 50 minutes to sit through now then...

Re: Big Show Says Shaq Is Trying To Back Out Of WrestleMania

Oh no. The obligatory celebrity-appearance match (that is a long retired basketball player with bad knees) that leads to said celebrity, who has zero wrestling experience, defeating the highly trained wrestler at Wrestlemania may be off?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I'm just kidding. Get this fucking match off the card.

Just trying hype up the match, I suppose.
"Good" thing someone is, because just watching Raw and Smackdown you wouldn't even know it's happening..

And by "good" I mean it sucks the match is happening, if it is.

Re: Big Show Says Shaq Is Trying To Back Out Of WrestleMania

It is likely a work by Show.

Hopefully it's not though. Big Show deserves much better than another celebrity fight at WM. With the shape Show is in he ought to be utilized more appropriately. If only WWE never would've penciled the Shaq crap in they could have saved the Big Show/Strowman match for WM and have the official passing of the giant torch to Strowman.

Re: Big Show Says Shaq Is Trying To Back Out Of WrestleMania

Show in the Andre battle royal getting dumped out last by strowman is what should happen

The Shaq vs big show stuff was cool in 2008-09 when they did it on raw but nobody wants to see it in 2017 when both guys are closer to 50 and Shaq is very out of shape
