WWE Rumors: Mick Foley to Vacate GM Post; Shaq Not Serious About WrestleMania 33?
During the weekend's round-up of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Raw general manager Mick Foley would not be holding on to the post for long, and the Big Show talks smack about Shaquille O'Neal's apparent hesitation about their upcoming WrestleMania 33 head to head.
Mick Foley's Days as WWE GM Numbered?
In the past month, Foley let his Twitter fans know about his upcoming hip surgery, and the possibility that he might be taking a hiatus from his current general manager post. On Facebook, the Raw GM added a few details on his condition — he would not be allowed to travel by air in the one and a half months after his hip surgery — due to the danger of potentially life-threatening blood clots. Foley has no set schedule for his surgery yet, only saying that it will happen "whenever I have a break in my schedule."
Last January, Foley tweeted the "Ravishing Russian" Lana about the situation of the GM post in the immediate future, saying, "Well @LanaWWE, that #Raw GM job just might be up for grabs soon!"

Shaq Not Serious About WrestleMania 33, According to the Big Show
Former world champion Big Show talked about his preparations for WrestleMania 33 in his latest interview with WWE.com. He also discussed the possible encounter with National Basketball Association (NBA) star Shaquille O'Neal, and how the Big Show thinks that the hyped match might not be coming after all.
"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," the Big Show said, referring to the NBA legend.
Sportskeeda thinks that this is the match that the Big Show deserves as a huge send-off to cap his incredible career.
