Nothing impresses today's high school kids like a wrestler 25 years past his prime. Knowing this, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh will have Hall of Famer Ric Flair on hand during next week's signing day when future Wolverines will put their ink to a commitment and fax it in before it can be pulled:

This is not the first time Harbaugh, a self-professed wrestling fan, has utilized his relationship with Flair to benefit his football team. Previously, he asked him to deliver a speech to the 49ers before they took on the Packers in the 2013/14 Wildcard Round. San Francisco won that game 23-20.

By doing this, Harbaugh is playing into the modern day spectacle that is Signing Day by "putting on a party for recruits," which will be streamed on The Players Tribune website. Also on hand will be: Desmond Howard, Denard Robinson, Todd McShay, and Lou Holtz. Though, to be honest, unless the Nature Boy's leg-locking one of them we really don't care.
