In front of a WWE record crowd at Wrestlemania 32, Shaquille O’Neal made a surprise appearance in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, engaging in a ginormous stare down with the Big Show. For those who may not know, Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most famous basketball players ever. His accomplishments are relatively unmatched, but his unique physical presence has made him a global icon.

His Wrestlemania appearance went down so well that the WWE Universe was buzzed with rumours over the former Lakers’ player having a match at Wrestlemania 33 with the Big Show. The rumours came to nothing in the end and the WWE universe is still waiting in awe for that dream match.
