Shaquille O’Neal was one of the NBA’s most dominant players. During his career, “Big” Shaq optimized his size and power. Additionally, his opponents were intimidated by his persona. In addition, Shaquille O’Neal is as savage as WWE legend Hulk Hogan. However, Shaq talking on The Post Game revealed that he can’t do a ‘Wooo!’ like the WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair.

On The Post Game, Shaq was asked about his Mount Rushmore of Pro Wrestling.

Responding to this, Shaq stated, “I don’t want to disrespect guys, but it’s a lot. It’s lot of guys like, I’ll try Hulk Hogan, see but I’m kinda weird because I see a lot of guys like Jimmy Superfly Snuka, A bad bad D’Lo Brown. I like guys like that. You know, The Undertaker, so it’s a lot of great names. I don’t want to disrespect guys.”

Furthermore, the interviewer questioned Shaq if Ric Flair is on his list of all-time greats. To which he responded, of course, and he wished he could do a “Wooo!” like Ric Flair, but his voice restricts him from doing so.

During his stint, Ric Flair was famous for his WOO! catchphrase. Additionally, the iconic Nature Boy catchphrase has also heavily influenced popular culture.
