Charles Barkley is probably never going to want to see Chris Jericho again after the AEW World Champion's appearance turned out to be the cause of his getting manhandled in a ring by co-host Shaquille O'Neal on Thursday night.

Jericho was on for a segment of TNT's Inside The NBA, undoubtedly the hottest sports show around nowadays mainly due to antics like this.

There's never a dull moment when Shaq, Barkley, Ernie Johnson and Kenny "The Jet" Smith all get together to bring basketball fans their humorous (but also serious) take on NBA events.

TNT airs AEW's Dynamite TV show every week so there was always going to be a cross-promotion on the network but Barkley probably wishes he had a reason to miss work on Thursday as he would quickly find himself a victim of Shaq's very clumsy wrestling moves, with Kenny also joining in on the fun while Jericho watched on in fits.

It was quite the comical scene but Barkley, a huge joker himself, wanted no part of it as he practically begged Shaq to let him be.

Of course, there was no way the Big Fella was going to waste such an opportunity.

As if that wasn't enough, Barkley and Shaq would have some fun later on, with the former aiming jibes at the women of San Antonio - he has some history with them, yes - by use of a motion we'd rather you see for yourself than describe.
