Shaquille O'Neal got his taste of professional wrestling with a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 32. And as a potential bout against Big Show at next year's event looms, it's clear he needs to practice some holds and throws ahead of time to prepare himself for such a colossal confrontation.

Enter his fellow TNT analyst Charles Barkley, who has apparently locked up with "The Big Aristotle" during breaks on "Inside the NBA" in the past.

The behemoths of the hardwood had an impromptu match Friday night prior to the Boston Celtics-Atlanta Hawks telecast. Give this one to "Sir Charles."

Once you lose your shoe, it's time to ring the bell.
