The idea of NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal in an AEW Dynamite ring is guaranteed to bring new eyeballs to the product. And so it made all the sense in the world for AEW Dynamite to air a video of O'Neal and Cargill training for their big match. However, they were playing the wrong sport!
In fact, it was so ridiculous to see Jade Cargill and Shaq preparing for their match, not by learning wrestling holds and moves, but with basketball, that Red Velvet actually sent out a hilarious Tweet mocking the segment.
Nobody expects the upcoming AEW Dynamite match to be Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania 3, but can we at least give the audience the idea that the participants are taking the match seriously? Yes, pro wrestling, by nature, is supposed to be ridiculous, but this was ridiculous even by All Elite Wrestling standards. What did you guys think of this absurd training video?
