Big Show: Shaq 'looks like Jabba the Hutt'
The Big Show thinks Shaquille O'Neal's weight may be to blame for the potential cancellation of their WrestleMania 33 match.
O'Neal didn't sound optimistic about the match happening while discussing it on a recent episode of his podcast, but said it wasn't his fault and that he's still working out. Big Show, however, isn't so sure.
"Maybe he is just too scared to show up because he's too busy riding around singing karaoke with John Cena and going to Krispy Kreme and getting fatter every week," the WWE superstar told ESPN's Matt Wilansky.
"He's got to be what, 440, 450 pounds?" Big Show continued. "He's gotten pretty fat. Me on the other hand? I just weighed in this morning - 379 pounds.
"Maybe he doesn't want to put on spandex and show the entire world that Shaquille O'Neal, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, looks like Jabba the Hutt. It's on him. He has to weigh these consequences in his own mind. Does he want the world to know how fat and out of shape he is? Or does he want to sit back and talk s--- into a podcast?"

Big Show noted in a recent interview with Sporting News that his contract with WWE ends in February 2018, so if a showdown between him and O'Neal is going to happen, it'll have to be sooner rather than later.
