Hulk Hogan, visiting Detroit Lionspractice, said coach Dan Campbell would have been good in the squared circle.
The pro wrestling great even came up with a nickname for Campbell: “Dirty Dan.”
“He probably missed his calling,” Hogan said Thursday during a visit to the Motor City to promote his new beer brand. “I would want him as my tag-team partner because I would let him do all the work.”
Hogan and Campbell stood together after practice, recording a promotional video.
“Campbell-mania, brother, is going to run wild this year,” Hogan said in his familiar gravelly voice. “Super Bowl. Nothing but greatness. Nothing but victory. So, what’s you going to do when the Detroit Lions and Campbell-mania runs wild on you, brother?”
Campbell got a kick out of Hogan’s schtick.
