WrestleMania Match Cancelled After Talks Apparently Broke Down
Mar 1, 2017 at 5:55 PM
There were years of speculations regarding this match. We even had a glimpse of it last year and it was almost certain to take place at this year’s WrestleMania. Even Dave Meltzer reported that this match is going to be official for the ‘Grandest Stage of them All.’
Yes, we are talking about the ‘Biggest WrestleMania match ever’; Big Show vs. Shaquille O’Neil. But now it seems this match is not happening anymore.
Big Shaq confirmed himself that this not happening anymore.
“It’s not going to happen? That’s probably right.
“It’s not my fault, that’s all you need to know. It ain’t my fault.
“It’s not totally off yet but it’s not looking good.
“But it doesn’t matter, I’m still working out and I still look better than Big Show.
“I’ll still meet him wherever he wants to meet me. These next thirty days, I’m about to go hard. I’m still doing it like it’s going down.”
Big Show is not happy about it at all. He shoots Shaq by saying;
“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.”
Big Show’s anger seems legit. There were years of speculations for this match. These two even stood face to face and fought a little bit too last year at WrestleMania at the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal. Talks were going on since then. But just before the month of the event, Shaq’s statement does not good at all.
