George Kittle Says ‘Maybe One Of These Days Gunther Can Get It’

George Kittle talks possible fighting Gunther.

San Francisco 49ers Tight End George Kittle is a big pro wrestling fan, previously being known in wrestling circles for his appearances at WWE shows. In addition to this, Kittle has been seen to be a big fan of Penta. Recently, at the American Century Championship golf event, George would hit The Miz with Sweet Chin Music.

While speaking on Up & Adams, Kittle was asked about his recent surprise attack of The Miz and if there was any other WWE superstar he’d like to take a belt from. After thinking about it, George would name WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.

“That’s a really good one. I’m gonna-, let’s see, I’m gonna avoid all the Usos and the Roman Reigns’ because those guys travel in packs. I’m gonna avoid that whole thing. You know what? I wasn’t really a fan of the guy Gunther,  hell of a wrestler. But, I think he’s pretty disrespectful to everybody that he wrestles and he thinks he’s better than everybody else. So, you know, maybe maybe he could get it one of these days. But like I said, he is an incredible wrestler. So I would have to do some training first. But surprise attacks are always fun.”

Kittle may have to wait in line for a shot at Gunther, as on Monday’s edition of WWE RAW CM Punk would win a gauntlet match to earn a world heavyweight championship match with ‘The Ring General’. You can read more about that here.

Kittle also recently commented on the idea of becoming a pro wrestler, noting he would have to own his own ring first. You can read more about that here.
