Oh yes indeedy, Cagesiders. The match you've undoubtedly been waiting your whole life for is reportedly going down at WrestleMania 28 on April 1, 2012, at SunLife Stadium in Miami, Florida.
Former NBA mega-star and future Hall of Famer, Shaquille O'Neal, is going to take on one of the only men in history to hold both the WCW and WWE championships, Big Show.
This according to Bryan Alvarez in his latest issue of Figure Four Weekly:
It appears to be a done deal that Shaquille O'Neal will have a match with Big Show at WrestleMania this year.
Show is no stranger to celebrity showcase matches at "The Granddaddy of Them All," as he was the guy chosen to work with Floyd Mayweather when he came in do an angle at WrestleMania 24 back in 2008.
Shaq has also done some dirty work in the ring, including getting physical with Show himself (pictured above) during a guest appearance on Raw that saw O'Neal execute a shoulder block. He didn't take a bump himself but if this match really happens, I can't wait to see how it looks when "The Daddy" gets put on the mat with a chokeslam.
Vince McMahon is obviously seeing dollar signs with Shaq able to do promotional tours that WWE would normally never get close to. Is there any doubt ESPN would be all over this when it comes time for Shaq to climb inside the ring? They'll probably cover this more than they do any UFC events.
Sorry, Dana White.
Everybody on board with Shaq vs. Show at WrestleMania 28? Or does anyone want to step up and play spoilsport?
Check out the video to see what happened the first time they met (in the above pic) after the jump.
See you at WrestleMania.
