The only thing I can think about while watching Shaq on WWE is him getting hurt. I can just imagine the Cavs championship hopes getting flushed down the toilet because the big fella gets hurt wrestling. I also realized that Shaq could have been a wrestling phenom. He has great charisma and his acting skills are suited for wrestling, not movies. Also he almost made the Big Show look well not that big. I guess when Shaq hangs up the basketball shoes he can go start a new career wrestling. I mean don’t they still have some 60-year-old men running around? Anyways here are the clips:
Jerry Lawler introduces Shaq as a 15-time NBA MVP. The King is still selling like the King. Then Christine Jericho and the Big Show come out for a little trash talking with Shaq.
D.C. Sports blog got a special one-on-one with Shaq:
On why he’s doing WWE: “Well, one, I’m a fan. My kids are fans. Me and Shane McMahon have been friends for a long time, so Vince called me and he asked me would I like to host. I asked my kids if they wanted me to host, they said they wanted me to host, so actually I’m just doing my fatherly societal fan duties.”
On when he got interested in WWE: “As a young boy. Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant. I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of guys, I also consider them to be great athletes. You know, they respect me, I respect them.”
