More Fuel For The Shaq At Mania 33 Speculation

Yesterday's daily update at F4WOnline.com linked to a story from a Chinese news website where Big Show 'confirmed' that a match between he and Shaquille O'Neal will be a part of next year's WrestleMania 33 card.

I read the interview at ShanghaiDaily.com. At the end, Show states 'We'll have one heck of a match and we'll see what's up. We'll give the fans a treat.'

This is on top of an interview Big Show gave to a news website from the Philippines - Rappler.com - at the end of July where he said that the thing with Shaq is a 'why not?' and noted how he and the former NBA star could 'put on an entertaining for the fans'. After telling 'smart marks' to worry about the high spots in other matches on the Mania 33 card, he went on to say that O'Neal is 'excited about it' as much as him.

For what it's worth, the odds on Shaquille O'Neal being in an official match at next year's wrestling extravaganza are EVENS over at Betfair.com. Those of you who still believe that Shaq will not feature in a match at the event can currently nab the 'No' at 8/11.

There is too much evidence pointing to the 'Yes' to overlook it, in my opinion. I've been recommending this wager since April 10th when the odds were better for the 'Yes', I don't know how long it'll remain at EVENS for now that there's more fuel for the punters, like myself, who have been backing 'Yes'.
