“I Can’t Fit in There, John Cena!”: Shaquille O’Neal Hated WWE Star For His Horrid Prank

John Cena Shaquille O'Neal

Shaquille O’Neal is a man one would probably describe as above average, whether it be in height or intellect. After all, the man’s height comes up to a massive 7’1”, and his net worth goes up to an even bigger $400 million.

Now, while the Big Diesel is hardly the kind of man who would throw his money around, he is still going to buy cars that he can fit in, right?

But the thing is, John Cena didn’t like seeing that part of him.

A few years ago, Cena was supposed to pick Shaq up for some activities they would do together. And it was this opportunity that John Cena took to play a rather hilarious prank on the poor guy.

John Cena asked Shaquille O’Neal to fit into the tiniest car imaginable

Now for those that stand at even about 5’10” and above, sitting in normal cars can be a little bit of a hassle. While they can fit in the car, there needs to be some level of seat adjusting to sit comfortably.

So, what happens when a 7’1” man is forced to sit in a mini-car?

Well, it appears John Cena didn’t care. He just forced Shaquille O’Neal to suck it up (both the situation, and his belly presumably), and get in the car.

And it bred quite the moment.

Of course, this is not a stunt someone who is even over 6 feet should feel confident about trying, never mind another 7-footer.

But on that note, Shaq does deserve some respect here for achieving the impossible.

After all, who would’ve thought the man would actually fit in the car?

John Cena isn’t the only celebrity to have pranked Shaquille O’Neal

The early 2000s were a fun time on television.

Everything was either too wacky or too pristine. And that’s exactly how the people loved it.

Among a lot of the shows that fit into one of these two categories back then, was the show ‘Punk’d’, hosted by Ashton Kutcher.

The premise was that Kutcher would have a team of very willing pranksters, to hilariously prank celebrities. And as you can guess, Shaquille O’Neal once made it onto their radar.

Messing with Shaq isn’t good for anybody’s heart, or life for that matter. But fortunately for Kutcher, still lives on today to tell the tale.
