Big Show’s history with basketball player Shaquille O’Neal is well-documented. Their will-it-won’t-it saga for a match at WrestleMania has been going on for many years now.

However, not many people know that behind the scenes, Show and O’Neal are close friends. The giant himself spoke of his relationship with the retired athlete, saying he was an all-round nice bloke.

“I think Shaq is like me at heart. He’s a big kid. He’s a huge wrestling fan, a huge WWE fan. He likes to get in the mix, get involved with it. We’ve been friends for a long time. I love the fact that he calls me out and talks trash.
“His exuberance, his excitement, his passion, he’s always a pleasure to be around, he’s somebody I can’t wait to some day get in the ring and just give one of those big over hand chops and see the look on his face…”

The last word may be a meme, but Vin Diesel and John Cena are indeed friends. The latter was cast as the former’s brother in The Fast and the Furious series when the ninth movie was announced.

Diesel recalled that when he was looking for someone to play Jakob Toretto, Cena coming to him was almost divine.

“For two months before I went into filming, I created a shrine where I could do all the combat training, all the stunts and I had the Charger there to simulate the garage to get into the Dom state of mind.
“[John Cena] comes into the shrine one morning, and I had this strange feeling...that Paul Walker had sent him.”
