• Shaquille O’Neal Asks John Cena About His AEW Debut Match, Cena Responds
16 Time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena recently appeared as a guest on ‘NBA on TNT’ and had a discussion with Basketball Legend Shaquille O’Neal, a well known pro-wrestling fan who has not only appeared in the WWF/WWE many times in the past, but also had a match for Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling a few weeks ago, where he and Jade Cargill defeated Cody Rhodes & Red Velvet in a mixed Tag Team match.
Here’s what Cena’s conversation with Shaq was like…
Shaq:
“I got a question for you, not about the show, about what you did or what you used to do being a wrestler. I had my first wrestling match a couple of weeks ago. Did you see it, and I would like to get your criticism on what I should have done better.”
Cena:
“Big Shaq, I’ve been sequestered in a bunker here in Vancouver as they’re really kind of keeping the lockdown to us. Now I heard you made your in-ring debut. I’m going to answer your question with a question. How did you feel about it? When it was all over, how did you feel about your performance?”
Shaq:
“Well, I really wanted to, you know, represent your guys right here, you know, giving a shout out to the Brodie Lee power slam right there, wanted to make it look good. Because listen growing up, you know, I watched you guys…Junkyard Dog, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan.
I just wanted to represent you guys, and then you know [Cody Rhodes] kind of poked me in my eye and caught me off guard and bodyslammed into a table. I think I did pretty good. I just wanted to represent you, wrestlers, because you guys are some of my favorite athletes. You know how I feel about you, brother. I love you, big fan of yours, congratulations on everything that you’re doing.”
Cena:
“Man, you are on that Mount Rushmore of sports entertainers. It’s a shame that you were born so large and so gifted on the basketball court because you could have been something in WWE. I still think you can be. But you are Mount Rushmore of sports entertainers.”
