George Kittle is one of the best tight ends in the NFL, but he’s also a huge fan of wrestling.
He’s borrowed some of his favorite celebrations from his favorite wrestlers in the ring to celebrate some of his touchdowns and first downs on the field. He’s even made his own WWE appearance.
His favorite wrestler is Stone Cold Steve Austin — one of the most legendary names in wrestling. He was asked about his fandom on Tuesday in an appearance on ESPN’s First Take. Little did he know about the surprise that was waiting for him.
The crew asked Kittle about why Stone Cold is one of his favorite wrestlers, and as he was getting into his answer, Steve Austin actually just popped up on the screen.
Kittle couldn’t believe it.

“Stone Cold? I mean, he’s the man. I think, honestly, my favorite attribute is…oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.”
Just an absolutely priceless reaction from Kittle. He completely fans out here when Stone Cold pops up on the screen. And that big WOO at the end he gives is incredible.
You absolutely love to see it.
