WrestleMania 33: 13 Early Match Predictions

11. Shaq vs. The Big Show

WWE.com

Shaquille O€™Neal is already hyping a match with The Big Show at next year€™s WrestleMania, meaning that the long rumored battle of the giants could finally go down. That will give time for the big men to hype their match, and let management figure out how exactly to book the thing.

Despite showing up now and then in wrestling over the years, Shaq has never competed in a singles match in the ring, so this isn€™t likely to be a classic. However, it will pick up the mainstream publicity that the company desperately seeks at Mania time. Sure, it would have been a lot better 10 years ago, but even then it probably wouldn€™t have been very good.

Show is also no stranger to gimmick matches at Mania after battling Akebono and Floyd Mayweather at past events, and this would be a good way for the aging wrestler to land a relevant role at the show. As long as he promises not to wear a thong, this should be kind of fun.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW.
