Big Show Says Shaq Had "A Lot Of Crazy Ideas For An Insane Set-Up" For Their Match That Never Happened

About a year ago, Big Show issued a WrestleMania challenge to Shaquille O'Neal on the red carpet at the ESPYs.

That match never happened and, on a recent appearance on Chris Jericho's podcast, Big Show discussed his thoughts on the match falling through.

"He definitely wanted to do something and he had a lot of crazy ideas for an absolute insane set-up," Big Show said on the latest episode of Talk Is Jericho. "A lot of times, [in] this business, things just don't work out."

After the match wasn't able to come together, Big Show was part of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal instead -- coincidentally, one year after Big Show and Shaq went face to face during the wrestleMania 32 incarnation of the battle royal.

"This has been a very awkward situation to be in, because the amount of information that went back and forth was really off, know what I mean? A lot of it was, Shaq's a busy dude, he's got a lot of stuff going on," Show said, adding "I could've had a fantastic match with Shaq and made his experience fantastic and given him a WrestleMania moment. But it just didn't work out."

Big Show has taken some shots at Shaq in the past, referring to him as both "Princess Shaq" and "Jabba The Hutt."
