9 Huge Problems With Big Show Vs Shaquille O'Neal At WWE WrestleMania 33

9. NBA Fans Won't Go Out Of Their Way To Watch

It seems as though WWE is overcompensating for the amount of people who will actually care about this match. It might have been a hot ticket on face value 10 years ago, but certainly not now. Not to rag on Shaq, but someone within WWE has to see a spade for a spade before this gets too out of hand.

Shaquille O'Neal is undoubtedly a name that is synonymous with elite professional basketball, but he has been retired since 2011 and his only major contribution to sports media is tongue-in-cheek analysis for NBA on TNT. Of course he will still have his fans, but how many of those are willing to pay money to watch him perform on a platform they may have little, if any, familiarity with?

It doesn't help the case when Shaq's opponent is a man in the twilight of his career who hasn't exactly been a prominent figure on WWE programming, especially in recent times.

WWE is clearly playing on the fantasy match-up factor but it's hard to get hyped about a contest between two competitors who are past their best years. Maybe if WWE pitted John Cena against LeBron James then this kind of dream match would draw a crowd.
