NBA analyst Charles Barkley recently made an appearance on the “Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette” podcast as he discussed his co-analyst on Inside the NBA, Shaquille O’Neal, appearing on AEW Dynamite over a year ago in a Mixed Tag Match involving Shaq, Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill, and Red Velvet.
Barkley stated that Shaq would’ve been an awesome pro wrestler over 25 years ago had he chosen the wrestling business over being a basketball player.
Barkley said: “That’s the perfect word, this dude is crazy. His body probably can’t take the abuse today, but with his personality, he’s one of the most fun people I’ve ever been around. He’s a really hard-working dude. He’s on every commercial. It’s just a matter of time before he starts doing Depends commercials. I know he’s turning 50 in the next couple of weeks so he’s close to Depends. He’s a great businessman. He does a lot of stuff, clearly. With his personality, if he really wanted to do [wrestling] 25 years ago, he would have been great.”
