WWE News: Shaquille O'Neal Addresses The Big Show

In a recent interview with The Rodolfo Roman Radio Show—via WrestleZone.com—Shaquille O'Neal addressed the possibility of getting back into a WWE ring.

After discussing hypothetical MMA bouts with Jose Canseco and Choi Hong-man, Shaq was posed the following question by the interviewer:

"

"And with pro wrestling, I know you faced off with The Big Show...anything with him?"

"

The four-time NBA champion definitively answered:

"

"I'm gonna see The Big Show again."

"

Although it's been nearly three years since we've seen Shaq mix it up—last seen as the Raw GM in July 2009—the newest addition to Inside the NBA is the one celebrity many WWE fans point to as being a natural fit inside the squared circle.

More so than his actual grappling ability—which we've yet to witness in a match setting—Shaq's larger-than-life personality dovetails seamlessly with the carnival of caricatures broadcast on the USA and SyFy Networks every week.

And when Shaq officially reenters the WWE domain, The Big Show—billed as "The World's Largest Athlete"— would be the most suitable opponent for the 7'1" O'Neal. Corroborating this is the fact that, besides being physically massive, both individuals have an equal propensity for being serious and playful. Undoubtedly, the right ingredients are there to yield a memorable feud.

The two have a history as well, dating back to two and a half years ago, when Shaq bowled over The Big Show following an altercation in the center of the ring. It is a moment that most viewers not only still recall, but would love to see culminate on a very big stage befitting a colossal confrontation between the two behemoths.

Of course, that event is none other than WrestleMania 28.
