WWE News Update: The Big Show Thinks Shaquille O'Neal is 'Terrified' to Face Him at Wrestlemania 33
Recently, The Big Show mentioned that he thinks Shaquille O'Neal is terrified to go up against him at Wrestlemania 33.
In a recent interview with WWE.com, The Big Show expressed his disappointment at how he thinks O'Neal is treating their previously talked about match scheduled for World Wrestling Entertainment's biggest annual event.
Earlier in February, The Big Show called the attention of O'Neal with a video posted through Instagram. The WWE star shared a clip where he can be seen lifting some weights and captioned it: "@Shaq! Karaoke? Doughnuts? You better get serious. All roads lead to #WrestleMania. The only giant!"
The Big Show is obviously referring to the National Basketball Association star's recent activities and advertisement deals. He is apparently implying that while O'Neal is busy with such things, Big Show is keeping his work up to get in shape for their match at Wrestlemania 33.
The WWE superstar told WWE.com: "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."
The wrestler added that if O'Neal is not going to take their match seriously, he should just call it off and "find something else to do." The Big Show also said that he has shed blood and tears for the past 22 years in the wrestling entertainment business and that this could be his last Wrestlemania so his time is "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," The Big Show further explained.
In the end, The Big Show just thinks that the NBA Hall of Famer is afraid of fighting in the WWE ring, adding that O'Neal stopped talking about it. The wrestler concluded that O'Neal should at least let him know what's going on with their upcoming match.
In the same interview, The Big Show shared that he has received positive comments about his workout regimen to get in better shape. He also revealed that the best reaction he got that has given him a big confidence boost was from fellow WWE legend John Cena.
Wrestlemania 33 happens on April 2 at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
