In a fitting culmination of the San Francisco Giants' postseason, World Wrestling Entertainment star Daniel Bryan showed up Friday at the Giants' World Series victory parade and presented outfielder Hunter Pence with a WWE title belt.

Nobody on the Giants seemed to mind the wet weather Friday afternoon for their victory parade. Not only did Bryan show up, but Giants legends such as Barry Bonds and Willie Mays were there, as well famous fans Steve Perry and Metallica.

If you've missed the relationship between Pence and Bryan the past month: At the Giants' last home game of the season, Pence gave the AT&T Park fans an impassioned speech. Using Bryan's famous "Yes! Yes! Yes" chant, Pence rallied the fans (and his team, really) to bring a postseason game back to San Francisco.

The Giants, at the time, were headed to the NL wild-card game in Pittsburgh, with no guarantee that they'd play postseason baseball in their park. When the Giants won and returned for the NLDS, Bryan came out to San Francisco to lead a "Play Ball!" chant and his "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chant.

From there, the chant became a staple of the Giants' postseason, even showing up Friday at the parade.

Three yeses, like three World Series — again, it's fitting.
