The goal of the WWE villain is rile up the crowd and get those loud “boos” echoing down from the rafters. And wrestling personality Shane McMahon had a pretty good way of doing that when RAW was on Ohio State’s campus earlier this week.

McMahon could’ve used a little extra rehearsal, though.

In an attempt to stir up the Columbus crowd, McMahon name-dropped Jim Harbaugh, saying he was on his way to visit with the Michigan head coach. In the process, though, McMahon absolutely butchered Harbaugh’s name:

Good try, Shane.

The line still served its purpose, riling up the fans in Columbus. Next time, though, McMahon may want to practice the pronunciation before taking the microphone.
