NCAA Division I wrestling champion Gable Steveson took to Twitter today, posting a video that WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair sent him prior to this year’s Olympic Games. In the video, Flair said,
“Gable, God dang-it kick some ass, man! You’re coming back with a gold medal! Coming to the WWE! *Wooo* Looking only as you can look. Next time I see you, it will be limousine ridin’ and jet flyin’ Gable Stevenson, Olympic Gold Medalist, Heavyweight Champion of the world! Bring it, my friend. We’ll all be watching. Knock ’em dead, my best to you and your Olympic teammates. Go USA! Wooo! Go Gable Steveson, my man! Remember, Gable, to be the man, *Wooo*, you gotta beat the man! And right now, you are the man! Wooo!”
Steveson appeared at WWE NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver earlier this year and is interested in joining WWE once his Olympic run ends.
