WWE fan Kevin Love can't see himself pursuing career in squared circle
Kevin Love doesn't plan on turning his love of wrestling into a career.
While taking part in a public workout Saturday in Los Angeles, the Cleveland Cavaliers forward was asked whether he would consider making the move to WWE once his NBA career is over, similar to former UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. Although he's a huge WWE fan, Love was quick to dismiss the idea.
"No. I would love to go to an event, maybe "Raw," where they bring back some of the icons, but no. I couldn't see that for me," Love said, according to Bill Hanstock of Uproxx.

Love isn't the only wrestling fan on the Cavs roster, as demonstrated throughout the team's 2016 championship run.
"Bron, as well. Swish (J.R. Smith). Channing (Frye) was a big wrestling guy," Love said. "2016, that was a big thing during that playoff run. We wanted that to be a part of our team, and that was part of our identity, was that (wrestler mentality)."
