"They (WWE) kept playing," O'Neal said (starts at the 32:30 mark). "First, they said it was me and Big Show. Then, they said it was going to be three-on-three. Then, they canceled it, so when they canceled it, I made other arrangements.
"Then they tried to call back and tried to get it done and I just said, 'I'm not going to do it.' They messed it up."
O'Neal also shot down co-host John Kincade's theory that he was afraid to lose, saying it's "for the kids."
