Jim Harbaugh really wants to see WrestleMania at Michigan Stadium

Little did we know that Jim Harbaugh is a big wrestling fan. According to CBS Detroit, there’s a rumor going around that a future WrestleMania could take place at Ford Field; when Detroit radio show Stoney & Bill brought it up to Harbaugh, he gave his approval for such a rumor:

“I wouldn’t mind seeing that,” he said, explaining that his favorite wrestler is Ric Flair. He’s also friends with the Steiner brothers, a wrestling tag team who went to the University of Michigan.

“I went to school at the same time they were going to school and I consider myself friends with both the Steiner brothers,” Harbaugh said. “Had a chance to see them wrestle one time in Chicago. It was a big thrill to go to a match; I would go to another. Who doesn’t like a good wrestling match?”

Yes, Harbaugh is good friends with Rick and Scott Steiner, who were last seen demolishing a Shoney’s in order to build a new one, using a bulldozer and Rick Steiner’s apparently indestructible body.

Harbaugh loves wrestling so much that after he was done with his radio interview, he called back to the show and brought up the idea of having WrestleMania at Michigan Stadium:

“Why not the Big House?” he said. “Why not? 140,000 – I bet we could get in there for Wrestlemania. They’re trying to break the attendance record at Jerry Jones’ stadium in Dallas. (There’s) a great Canadian presence in wrestling. Why not Michigan and the Big House?”

Sadly, Harbaugh says he would never be a wrestler. But if he did, this is probably what his entrance would look like:
