www.wrestlezone.com/news/809327-big-show-believes-shaquille-oneal-is-trying-to-back-out-of-wrestlemania-match-says-i-just-get-the-feeling-hes-terrifiedThe reason I ask is found in the link. Now this very well may be Show just trying to antagonize the Big Aristotle and sell the match, but it feels as if he's shooting. {Spoiler}“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

It would be a total waste of Show who is in almost career best shape, so let's hope it doesn't happen and they find something else for him to do. Like actually have a match against another wrestler.

If he hadn't already won the battle royal during his awful Local Man phase, that would've been a nice cap to his career.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but after the Raw match, I kinda think Strowman/Show II with a gimmick might not be the worst thing for Mania.

Big Show has talked about training to take down Shaq, so having all of that would be pointless if he was not to happen.

I'm a fan of both Big Show and Shaq, but this doesn't need to happen. Nobody's clamoring for this match, nobody benefits from this match, and nobody's buying tickets to see this match. I'm not saying that you can't have celebrity involvement at WrestleMania; it's basically built on the idea of celebrity involvement. On a show which is already going 4+ hours, though, we can do without it.

Pretty sure they announced it as happening already.

They've been trying to do this since 28...which was the same Mania they first tried for Rey-Sin Cara...too early to start an internet "CURSE OF MANIA 28" crackpot theory?

If this is still going to happen, they should let Big Show win.

It's weird. I had a couple thought about this last night and was going to make a thread, but I'll post it here.
Without Shaq:
1. Braun and Show final 2 in the ATGMBR, Braun wins. Feud.
2. Braun wins ATGMBR, Show endorses him, the become a tag team and make the RAW titles worth something.
With Shaq, but for Mania and SummerSlam
1. Braun helps Show beat Shaq and beat him down until Cass helps out. Braun and Show become champs run through everyone, then face Shaq and Big Cass at SummerSlam and lose. Next night on RAW they lose again and feud. Shaq gives his belt to Enzo, them BOOM! AOP debut and attack Enzo and Cass.

Shaq-Fu is about to return in a big way. Biological didn't bother, but Shaq will bother Big Show in a big way! It will be Orlando magic!
Okay, I think that's enough Shaq references.

I think they're going to change it to Shaq vs. Javale McGee.

No one could possibly want to see this. Maybe in the 90's.

They've been trying to do this since 28 f***, they shot the angle for this match back in 2009!

Sometimes I watch live TV, like a cretin, so I can't skip commercials and after one show, they had 3 Shaq commercials in a row, all advertising different products. I can't even remember what they were.

Big Show's been in shape for a few weeks and he's giving Shaq crap for his diet?

I can't even remember what they were. Gold Bond powder, Icy-Hot and Dove men's care lotion are three I can think of off the top of my head.
