Whether it was supporting a friend or getting physical himself, the lifelong fan created his share of memorable moments. Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shaq_Hits_the_Beach\"><\/span><b>Shaq Hits the Beach <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 1994, Shaq was entering his third season of NBA play with the Orlando Magic. The Orlando Arena (Amway Arena today) not only served as the team\u2019s hometown venue, but it was also where World Championship Wrestling\u2019s (WCW) <i>Bash at the Beach<\/i> pay-per-view event would take place July 17. Decked in the trademark red and yellow of Hulkamania, Shaq cut a promotional video alongside Hulk Hogan leading up to the Hulkster\u2019s WCW debut against world champion Ric Flair at the big event. O\u2019Neal sat ringside on the historic night and presented the Hogan with the title after he defeated the \u201cNature Boy.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_987960\" style=\"width: 363px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-987960\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-987960 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-and-Jericho.jpg\" alt=\"Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Jericho\" width=\"353\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-and-Jericho.jpg 353w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-and-Jericho-262x289.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-987960\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WWE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shaq_Hosts_WWE_%E2%80%98Raw\"><\/span><b>Shaq Hosts WWE \u2018Raw\u2019 <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>More than 15 years later, in 2009, O\u2019Neal served as guest host for the July 27 episode of WWE\u2019s <i>Raw<\/i> show. It didn\u2019t take long for the natural entertainer to get involved in the proceedings. An altercation with Chris Jericho led to Shaq naming himself special enforcer for his new rival\u2019s main event. When the basketball great saw injustice committed, O\u2019Neal ripped off his referee shirt and hit the ring to back up the tag team Cryme Tyme (JTG and Shad Gaspard), who were opponents for Big Show and Jericho (collectively known as Jeri-Show). The 7-foot Shaq coming face-to-face with Show created quite the visual. Even today, there are still fans clamoring for an official one-on-one battle of these Goliaths.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shaq_Makes_An_Impact\"><\/span><b>Shaq Makes An Impact <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>O\u2019Neal reunited with Hulk Hogan for a backstage segment on <i>Impact Wrestling<\/i> in August 2013. Hogan was having issues at the time with a group known as Aces &amp; Eights, led by Bully Ray. Shaq assured the Hulkster he had his back if he needed it. The Hall of Famers embraced and Shaq flexed his arm\u2014or \u201c24-inch python,\u201d as Hogan calls it. The appearance was welcome to Impact, which needed the mainstream appeal Shaq provided.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ShaqMania\"><\/span><b>ShaqMania <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Shaq shocked the world participating in the 3rd Annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at <i>WrestleMania<\/i> 32 in Texas on April 3, 2016. Before more than 100,000 fans inside AT&amp;T Stadium, O\u2019Neal stood fearless against a ring full of WWE superstars. Among them was a familiar rival in Big Show. Before the two giants could get reacquainted, Kane interrupted them by attempting to chokeslam both at the same time. Shaq and Show worked together by chokeslamming Kane instead. In what is technically O\u2019Neal\u2019s first official match, he was able to eliminate Damian Sandow by sending him over the top rope. Looking at the towering figures as viable threats, a group of wrestlers teamed up against Shaq and Show to take them out. Despite Baron Corbin winning the battle royal trophy, it was O\u2019Neal who made the headlines.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_987962\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-987962\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-987962 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-Battle-Royal-1014x570.jpg\" alt=\"Shaq in a Battle Royal\" width=\"1014\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-Battle-Royal-1014x570.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-Battle-Royal-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-Battle-Royal-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-Battle-Royal-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-Battle-Royal-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Shaq-Battle-Royal.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-987962\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WWE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shaq_Is_Elite\"><\/span><b>Shaq Is Elite <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During the November 11, 2020 edition of <i>Dynamite,<\/i> newcomer Jade Cargill teased that O\u2019Neal was coming to AEW. Not only that, but he had his eyes set on Cody Rhodes. Cargill, an apparent Shaq prot\u00e9g\u00e9, and Rhodes\u2019 wife Brandi got into a few skirmishes in the weeks that followed. One onscreen tussle in this story left Brandi with a broken arm. AEW announcer Tony Schiavone rounded up Shaq and Brandi for a sit down interview during the December 9 episode of <i>Dynamite<\/i> . The conversation broke down when Shaq suggested Brandi watch Cargill to get pointers while she recovers from her injury. Not having it, Brandi took Schiavone\u2019s water and threw it in O\u2019Neal\u2019s face. O\u2019Neal challenged Cody to a match during the AEW Dynamite Awards that streamed January 27. Brandi and Cody recently announced they were having a baby, which meant Cody needed a new partner for the March 3 showdown. The young up-and-comer Red Velvet stepped up to the plate.<\/p>\n<p>Can Shaq put all his pro wrestling experience to good use and lead his team to victory?<\/p>\n<p><b>AEW<\/b><b><i>Dynamite<\/i><\/b><b>, Wednesdays, 8\/7c, TNT<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
