During a recent interview with Jim Varsallone of the Miami Herald, AEW Superstar Paul White commented on still wanting to have a match with Shaquille O’Neal. As many of you know, O’Neal worked a tag-team match on AEW Dynamite earlier this year, as he teamed with Jade Cargill to face Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On still hoping for a match with Shaq: “I hope so at some point. It’s been the biggest tease ever between Shaq vs. me for how many years. At some point, you either never do it because you can’t live up to the tease or we need to hurry up and do it before it gets to be yesterday’s news.”
On his thoughts on Shaq’s AEW match: “It was a great match. I thought Shaq did a great job with that match. Cody did as well. I saw Cody did a lot of things in that match that he used to do against me. I was thinking, ‘I’ve seen Cody fight the same way against another tall guy.’ Shaq did great. Jade did great too, that was one of her first matches. It was a big match for Jade and Red Velvet. The whole thing came off really good for everybody involved. Hopefully, I’ll get to wrestle Shaq, but who knows. The powers that be and the way the world works, hopefully. What I do need to talk to Shaq about is getting me a Krispy Kreme franchise.”
