San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle is a big fan of wrestling, having been seen ringside at many WWE events in the past.
However, at the celebrity-studded American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, Kittle was able to break out some of those wrestling moves he’s seen – only this time, on a golf course.
Kittle was partnered with WWE superstar The Miz for the unofficial tournament which has generated large crowds at the Edgewood Tahoe resort for years.
On the tee at one of the holes, Kittle and Miz appeared to drum up a ‘work’ when the wrestler feigned annoyance with the NFL star and shoved him.
Kittle backed up as the wrestler turned around to pump up the crowd, leading the Niner to crouch down.
As Miz turned around, Kittle wound up and ‘kicked’ him in the face – emulating wrestling icon Shawn Michaels’ signature finisher, the ‘Sweet Chin Music’.

The gallery laughed as Kittle patted Miz on the torso before doing a celebratory dance.
Kittle has let his love of the sport be well known, especially after cameras caught him at Wrestlemania many times in the past. He even got in the ring at Wrestlemania 39 in Los Angeles.
The Niners superstar has hinted that he’d consider a career in sports entertainment after he’s done with football.
‘I would love to do WWE,’ Kittle said on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast. ‘I think there’s definitely 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,’ Kittle said.
‘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.’
