George Kittle
A lot of footballers are known to have joined the WWE following their retirement from the NFL. Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is one such example who made an appearance at WrestleMania 33 where he helped his friend and former WWE star Dean “Mojo” Muhtadi win the Andre The Giant Battle Royal.
And now San Francisco 49ers and All-Pro tight end George Kittle too has said that he would love to join the WWE after hanging up his boots in the NFL. “Sounds fun!,” Kittle said to TMZ Sports when asked earlier this month if he would like to feature in the WWE.
Kittle believes he has got the skill set and personality to flourish in the WWE world. He was recently spotted at the NFL’s Pro Bowl as he practiced some of his wrestling moves with his teammate, Kyle Juszczyk.
Moreover back in September 2019, he also appeared on WWE “SmackDown,” which had been held at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Hence, it’s pretty clear that Kittle is an avid wrestling fan and it won’t be tough for him to make a transition in his career.
George Kittle enjoys wrestling and sees his future in it
George Kittle is regularly known to attend WWE shows and enjoys watching them live. Recently last year when he was still recovering from a groin injury, he found time to go and watch two-time AEW champion Pentagon Jr. in WWE Raw. Kittle accepted that Pentagon Jr’s stage presence is something that has appealed to him a lot.
“Two years ago in New Orleans, I went to WrestleMania, and I saw (Penta) wrestle like six different times at a bunch of different shows,” Kittle said to Sports Illustrated. “His swagger in the ring, his confidence, just kind of stuck with me. Wrestling is something that I love and enjoy, too, so seeing that in the ring and how he holds himself and how he enters the ring, how he leaves the ring—everything he does has purpose and I love that.”
There’s still a lot of football left in George Kittle before he can make a decision on joining WWE. But it’s clear Kittle enjoys the showmanship associated with the sport and that might be a driving force behind him making a decision.
