    The series will feature 10 celebrities competing for the title of "Celebrity All-Star Wrestling Champion" through challenges and elimination matches. Two former pro wrestlers will train the contestants, with Hogan and former World Championship Wrestling president Eric Bischoff serving as judges. A third judge along with the competitors and trainers will be announced later.

    Hogan, who is credited as a creator and executive producer of the series, said he was looking "to shake things up" in terms of sports entertainment with "something different and more contemporary."
