George Kittle channels The Rock after 49ers' 24-20 win over Steelers

George Kittle is a huge wrestling fan.

Last season, the 49ers tight end needed to hustle out of his postgame press conference in order to make it over to SAP Center in San Jose for a WWE event.

It was with that knowledge in mind that NBC Sports Bay Area had Kittle record a segment in which he pumped up 49ers fans for the home opener.

So after the 49ers beat the Steelers on Sunday to improve to 3-0, the team caught Kittle jumping into that wrestling mentality.

Last December, NBC Sports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan spoke to Kittle about his love of wrestling.

“One of my favorite things is when I see guys flying out of the ring 24-7. Ladders matches, stuff like that," Kittle said at the time. "I love when there's not a single second of downtime. Everyone getting pushed, fight, fight, fight, fall out of the ring, and the next guy comes in. He falls out, next guy comes in. It’s like a rotation of six guys.”
