Still better than First Take.
Harbaugh wants WrestleMania at Michigan Stadium
(CBS story) Yeah, you read that right. Harbaugh did an interview with 97.1 FM in Detroit and then after the interview ended, he called back into the show to talk about having WrestleMania in the Big House.
“Why not the Big House?” Harbaugh asked rhetorically, noting that it could probably fit up to 140,000 fans for the big event. “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?”
I don’t think you could fit 140,000 into Michigan Stadium. They’d have to put a stage up, so the seats behind the stage would be empty. Also, there’s only one tunnel at Michigan Stadium and it’s on the 50-yard line on the visitor’s sideline, so I’m not sure how it would affect sight lines and which seats you can sell putting the stage there. Also, at most other stadiums, there are multiple levels. At Michigan Stadium, it’s one big bowl, straight back. Plus, looking at the difference between WrestleMania crowds at football stadiums and maximum capacities for football games at those stadiums, it seems like 11,000 or so is the biggest number of people you can realistically expect to add for WrestleMania. The current capacity of the Big House is 107,601, but crowds can go over 110,000 with standing room. 120,000 seems like a reasonable estimate for how many people WWE could bring in. So, if WWE really wanted to, I’m sure they could break the attendance record at the Big House.
The CBS article brought up the fact that there are a lot of other events WWE puts on in conjunction with WrestleMania, so it would almost require a major city. Detroit’s 45 minutes from Ann Arbor. That’s not such a big deal that WWE couldn’t make it work if they really wanted to. The CBS article also brought up temperatures in late March and early April in Ann Arbor, which they spelled wrong at that point. Someone ought to tell CBS that WrestleMania was at MetLife Stadium, you know, the outdoor stadium in New Jersey, in 2013. They had heaters in the ring posts. It would be fine in Ann Arbor.
Harbaugh said he’d only get involved in the show as a corner man – someone waving a towel around, or as a guest ref. The match it was suggested he guest ref for was Hogan vs. Flair, which, yeah, that’s not gonna happen. Hogan’s still very much in WWE’s doghouse and while there’s no doubt in my mind he’ll be back in the fold in some capacity at some point, they’re still not going to let him wrestle. I doubt Flair could get cleared, either. Plus, Harbaugh might have to pick between Hogan and former Wolverine wrestler Scott Steiner, because I’m not sure that Steiner’s allowed to be in the same building as Hogan right now. I don’t know how involved the Steiner brothers could get, though. Scott still works indy shows, but, as of 2013, Rick’s working in real estate in Georgia.
Vince hotshots, Raw still hot garbage
The Raw before TLC got a 2.15 TV rating. For those unfamiliar with how TV ratings are viewed in this context, that’s no good. That was their worst rating since 1997. The night after TLC, Vince showed up, and they had a championship match in the main event, where Roman Reigns defeated Sheamus to become WWE Champion. That show did a 2.66. Better, but still not good. The following week, they were back to 2.33. This week, they did a 2.47. They announced for next week on Raw, a championship match between Reigns and Sheamus with Vince McMahon as special guest referee. Why not do that at the Royal Rumble? And if they were so concerned with the Raw rating, why didn’t they do the title change at the TLC PPV? They’re in major panic mode now, putting two championship matches on free TV in a four-week span. This looks like they’re valuing Raw more than their PPVs, which, yeah, people being interested in Raw will help sell the WWE Network, but if Raw is seen as more important than the PPVs, why are people going to pay some undisclosed amount of money every month to watch the PPVs? Not a sustainable model there.
