Wrestling helps make champions ... so says Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love.

Love appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night to discuss the team's NBA Championship win -- which he says wrestling played a key role in.

Kevin explained, "We all were really into 90s wrestling and early 2000s wrestling. All the Stone Cold Steve Austins and Undertakers and all those guys of the world ... we started wearing the vintage T-shirts 'cause we knew it was gonna be ... that kind of series, it was gonna be a wrestling match."

The Late Show also showed a clip of Love shotgunning beers Stone Cold style after the big win.

Moral of the story? Wrestling is awesome.

But, we already knew that.
