You have no idea how wrong you are.
My avatar is based on the WrestleMania XX logo: which Ric Flair wrestled in against Foley and The Rock.

Serious question for you, since you are clearly into wresting:
Do you have anything like the SuperGuides for wrestling, or is that only for Michigan? I have no idea why, but I am curious.
January 28th, 2016 at 4:10 PM ^
Not really. The closest thing is a document for every show I may or may not have obtained lⅇgally through the interwebs that links to the match card for that show so I know what exactly I'm watching.
I have an external hard drive for Michigan game footage and then one for TV shows and whatnot. I think wrestling takes up 1 TB of the 3 on the TV drive.
p.s, if you pay for Netflix and know how to use the internet, you're doing it wrong. You can find anything you want to watch online in perfect quality if you know where to go.

But unless you're using several proxy VPNs routed through a few continents and/or Tor, don't be surprised when you get a letter from the FBI. I've seen it happen to 4-5 people I know.

Have they announced what this event is going to include? Will it be televised or on radio?
Is the time set? Any location?

Muchos gracias senor Worldwide.

Being streamed on the Players Tribune. No idea of the schedule or what in the hell it'll entail. Nature Boy off the top rope would be a good bet, though.

At this rate, I wouldnt be the least shocked if Parker Schnoble showed up.
January 28th, 2016 at 3:52 PM ^
Charles Woodson is at the top of my list. I'm sure he'll be there.
January 28th, 2016 at 4:00 PM ^
I figured since he's vacationing/at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii on Sunday, I'm not sure if he is going to tell his family that the vacation is cut short so he can attend this event.
I may be wrong, but I'd assume he would want to stay in Hawaii with his family for a few days after the Pro Bowl.
January 28th, 2016 at 4:17 PM ^
I hadn't thought about that but now that he's retiring, he's on permanent vacation! I think it'd be cool to have both him and Desmond there.
January 28th, 2016 at 3:48 PM ^
I'm just waiting to hear the news that TMZ Sports will be steaming the live feed of this event.
But seriously. W.....T......F....!!!!! lol

Fox has canceled the Republican Debate tomorrow and is moving to the Wednesday event with Megyn Kelly and crew to cover the Up with People/Harbostock Festival because of higher ratings forecast....

Watch out - I hear he likes to steal kisses and live the jet-set lifestyle; hopefully the NCAA isn't around or they might sanction the Nature Boy.

Please have hologram Tupac do 3 songs at this event.
Why?
Why not.
January 28th, 2016 at 4:03 PM ^
was written by The Boss for Ric Flair so he must be coming with the E Street Band to welcome CA Boss and Gary and the Jersey Boys!
Good news!
January 28th, 2016 at 4:09 PM ^
Okay this is really cool, but anyone else find this developing cast of characters to be an uber-bizarre hodgepodge of names and faces? I mean, you couldn't script this stuff better if it was a reality TV show. I guess Harbaugh? Yeah, Harbaugh.

It's so hard for me to sit back here in this studio, looking at a guy out here, hollerin my name - when last year I spent more money on spilled liquor in bars from one side of this world to the other, than you made! You're talking to the Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealin' (WOOO), wheelin' n dealin', limousine riding, jet flying son of a gun; and i'm having a hard time holding these alligators down! - The Nature Boy
love the energy of this event next week!
January 28th, 2016 at 4:21 PM ^
The only thing that could make this better is if Flair slaps the figure four on Holtz and makes him yell "Notre Dame sucks" before the Nature Boy releases it.
Also, he's obviously going to let out a big WOOOOO after each recruit signs.

Sources are reporting that Michigan has revoked the offer for longtime commit Judge Greg Mathis for the upcoming Signing of the Stars event. Citing program needs at the daytime television Judge position and Mathis' less-than stellar performance over the past year, the University pulled its offer when it became known that the No. 1 rated daytime television Judge - Judge Judith Sheindlin aka Judge Judy committed and signed a letter of intent. Judge Judy also entertained offers from Abe Vigoda's funeral and the Republican National Debate.

Maybe Flair will actually be there to sign on as a new assistant coach. Send him on the recruiting trail -- he would clean up in SEC territory!
January 28th, 2016 at 4:45 PM ^
January 28th, 2016 at 4:47 PM ^
Perfectly encapsulates the Harbaugh philosophy:
"If you want to be the man, you have to beat the man!"
January 28th, 2016 at 4:50 PM ^
This is weird as shit, and I love it. Maybe they'll use the signing to announce Wrestlemania at the Big House?

I am not a huge wrestling fan, but I can definitely appreciate the timelessness in modern wrestling that Ric Flair seems to carry with him. The name rings out from my childhood and watching Wrestlemania with friends on pay-per-view (because you could and arranging such things was the erfect chore for my father) meant Ric Flair would eventually appear.
This is probably the most unique choice for this event thus far. I'll be interested to hear reports and see live tweets.
January 28th, 2016 at 5:09 PM ^
January 28th, 2016 at 5:11 PM ^
This is surreal. I like it, but do today's 18 year olds even know who Ric Flair is? It's not like he's stayed relevent through commercials or reality tv like some of his fellow wrestling brethren.
January 28th, 2016 at 5:12 PM ^
Sorry if this seems insensitive but do people still watch Pro Wrestling? Will recruits know who Ric Flair is? I only know about him because of Sergio Brown (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs3S8WnT4TA).
January 28th, 2016 at 5:14 PM ^
I'm so confused about all of this. Ric Flair?
I mean, I love me some Nature Boy (woo!), but... Ric Flair?
January 28th, 2016 at 5:26 PM ^
If there isn't some type of physical altercation that occurs during this, planned or not, I'll be extremely disappointed.
Harbaugh is a nut! lol
