Why is the WWE getting a Cleveland Cavalier to host an event at the Verizon Center?

I know the big guy is a fan of wrestling, but did they really have to have him hosting this specific event? This is almost as bad as Jay-Z releasing "Blow the Whistle" at a D.C. nightclub last season.

Eh

Money is money.

You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

No its perfect

Get Shaq to come out with one of the heels and the crowd will boo him lustily (I hope!)

Shaq's not really a "Cavalier"

Shaq’s just Shaq. He transcends whichever team he happens to be playing for.

I hope

he gets chokeslammed.

At the same time, who cares. Shaq has hardly paid any attention at all to his new team. He’s got some show coming up (“Shaq Vs.” I think is the name) and he’s doing this wrestling thing. He had one press conference and one photo shoot so far for the Cavs. The guys got one foot in retirement, just trying to see if he can ride someone’s coat tails into another ring before bowing out.

Look Mr. James, I lived near the Chesapeake Bay for the first 21 years of my life, at times as close as a 5 minute walk. I know about crabs. And let me tell you something about crabs: they travel every time they get in the lane.

Cavs

Cavs rhymes with a British word for cigarette, that is always how I felt about that team a bunch of british cigarettes.

Shaq is going to be trouble for Cleveland you watch, not going to help.

As far as that whole Jay-Z gag I hope you guys heard Pro’verb’s response, pretty sick. Anyway Jay is garbage, that blow the whistle song was garbage and personally I could care less about someone showing up at a WWE event.

The good thing about Shaq going back to the Cavs

is that I have a reason to hate him again. Somehow he won me over with his “aging but friendly and goofy ex- superstar who still has enough in the tank to dig down when he needs to” schtick, but now I can go back to disliking him as much as I did when he was an arrogant SOB with no discernible basketball skill other than being bigger and more powerful than everyone else.

Getting buckets since 2003.
