The San Francisco 49ers are taking on the Green Bay Packers Sunday in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs. We’ve seen teams bring in linebacker Ray Lewis for a pep talk, but the 49ers looked to the WWE for inspiration bringing in legend and 16-time Heavyweight Champion of the World Ric Flair for a pre-game speech.
