NFL star George Kittle appeared on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast, where he discussed various topics, including his interest in pursuing a career in WWE after his NFL career.
Kittle said, “Literally until I don’t have fun anymore (is how long I want to continue playing football). Or if Claire (Kittle) looks at me and goes, you kind of look like sh*t out there. You should retire, and I’ll be like, alright… I think if I get to, I’m 35… It hurts just to get pants on in the morning, I think I’ll be like, eh, this isn’t much fun anymore and then I’ll have a conversation with myself but, no, I’m feeling great right now… I haven’t daydreamed about it (post-NFL life) or anything like that but, I’m aware that there’s potential opportunities and doors that could be opened, and so I’m just excited about that stuff… I would love to do WWE.”
On whether he has a WWE contract waiting for him after he leaves football:
“I think there is definitely an opportunity within that world and I would love nothing more than to be a part of it. My only question mark with that is I so much love being a fan of WWE. I would only do WWE if I bought a ring and practiced my ass off for a while so I wouldn’t look like an idiot out there because I’ve been in a WWE ring like three times. I don’t know what I’m doing out there. I have an understanding of how it works but, I haven’t moonsaulted off the top rope at WrestleMania like Pat McAfee did. Like what Logan Paul does.”
