TMZ Sports recently interviewed Big Show & the WWE Superstar quieted rumors of his retirement, offered praise for Charlotte Flair and the WWE Women’s Division, and even teased a future showdown between he and NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal.
On WWE’s Women’s Division:
Two amazing competitors [Charlotte and Ronda Rousey]. I think now is the greatest time in the world for our women’s division to shine and show how amazing they are and that entire division is full of incredibly motivated, dedicated talent and I’m just proud of the fact that the girls are getting the respect they finally deserve and getting the attention.
On Charlotte Flair:
Charlotte’s a beast. She’s an incredible athlete. She’s incredibly motivated and determined and she probably trains outside the ring harder than most people do now. She’s one of the hardest working individuals I’ve ever seen.
On Retirement:
No. I’m still good. I mean, I tweaked a hamstring last week, so I’m a little sore, but other than that, no, I’m having fun. I signed a new deal last year. I got a couple years left. I’m having fun. We’ll re-evaluate in a couple years, absolutely.”
On A Future Match With Shaquille O’Neal:
[laughter] Shaq and I, I don’t know. I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t see Shaq and I square off at some point at something somewhere, whether it’s a Krispy Kreme donut eat-off, free throw contest, somewhere him and I are gonna have to draw a line in the sand and figure out what’s what.
