Follow Us
There have been multiple instances in history when professionals from different sports have stepped into the squared circle of pro-wrestling. One such athlete is NBA legend, Shaquille O’Neal, who has made multiple appearances in WWE and AEW.
And who could be a better opponent for O’Neal than the ‘Biggest Guy’ in all of sports entertainment; The Big Show himself.
The rivalry between both athletes has been brewing for almost a decade now. The first time Wight [formerly knows as ‘The Big Show’] and O’Neal were in the same ring was back in 2009, when The Lakers‘ legend was hosting an episode of RAW and had a physical run-in with the Giant.

Wight didn’t back down as well. The former WWE Superstar took to Twitter and answered Shaq’s comments on him, saying- “I’m not hard to find.”.
