Big Show vs. Shaq Officially On?


According to hot recent wrestling news from the internet, Big Show may get his chance at revenge on NBA star Shaquille O'Neal in September 2009. Shaq was the special celebrity guest host for the July 27th, 2009 episode of WWE Raw, and it received rave reviews from fans and analysts for packing one entertaining punch. In the highlight of the show, Shaq and Big Show stood eye to eye in the ring and slapped chokeslams on each other. It ended when the tag team Cryme Tyme kicked Big Show to break the chokeholds up. Shaq charged shoulder first into Big Show, sending him down to the mat, and out of the ring where his tag team partner Chris Jericho rushed over to him. Chris Jericho later made guest comments in the following week as Show was choking Kofi Kingston against the ropes, saying that could be Shaq.

Shaq only had the following comments about his Raw gig on Twitter:

wasn't lookin, but randy orton has da sexiest white man butt ive seen next 2 steve nash - 10:00 PM Jul 27th from Tweetie


Anyways, the official match for Shaq vs. Show may be booked on a special 3 hour edition of WWE Raw during September 2009, which is right around NBA preseason as well.

Bryan Alvarez of Figure Four wrote:

"There are discussions in WWE about running another three-hour Raw in September and building it up around a Big Show v Shaq match."

"It might not work because NBA pre-season starts in September and the timing may just be impossible.


It should be noted that NBA pre-season workouts may be in September, but actual pre-season games will start in early October. Cleveland plays its preseason opener on Tuesday October 6th.

WWE's Pay-Per-View for September has the new title of "Breaking Point" and will occur on the 13th.

Analysts and experts are questioning the WWE's move to offer the match on a free cable TV show, rather than using it to get Pay-Per-View buys. But ask most fans and I'm sure you won't hear many complaints...
