In February, eight former World Wrestling Entertainment stars will be under one roof in a show similar to MTV's “Surreal Life” titled “WWE Legends House.”
The show will be shot in Rancho Mirage at the historic home of late comedian Harpo Marx at Tamarisk Country Club.
WWE Hall of Famer Eugene “Mean Gene” Okerlund, familiar to fans as a wrestling interviewer and announcer, has been confirmed for the show.
Other rumored cast members include Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper and The Iron Sheik.
The new show is to air when the new WWE Network channel launches later this year.
