WWE Legends House is a reality show airing on the WWE Network. It puts 8 legendary wrestling superstars and personalities, primarily from the 80s, into a standard reality show format, all living in a house in Palm Springs and having to perform different challenges and tasks set up by the producers. So far only one season has aired.The main draw of the show is watching the interaction of the cast of characters, all of whom have known each other over two decades, who share a brotherhood but also old rivalries. Additionally, watching these middle aged and out of the spotlight men, most of whom were physical specimens in their prime, deal with being older and often, not necessarily wiser.The first season's cast is: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper: legendary wrestling star of the 1980s and 90s, and one of the biggest names in pro wrestling history. He's infamous for his out of control behavior in and out of the ring. Now sober and trying to keep his life together, he attempts to deal with living in the house and doing things he'd rather not do. Tony Atlas: Wrestling star of the early 1980s. A large bodybuilder who still is gigantic, but stands out more for being a very...unique personality and tends to be the one that rubs the entire cast the wrong way. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan: Wrestling star of the 80s. He seems to be the same guy he is in the ring, which sometimes is a good thing, and sometimes a bad thing. Hillbilly Jim: Another 80s wrestling star, a very jovial, down home country boy who is mostly just enjoying the ride. "Mean" Gene Okerlund: Legendary wrestling announcer and TV producer spanning over four decades. He seems to never not be out of Kayfabe and always ready with a witty quip or insult, when not reaching for a martini. Howard Finkel: Another legendary announcer spanning several decades, he is probably the least forceful personality in the house. Is struggling with a weight problem. "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart: Legendary manager of over three decades. Has probably the biggest mouth in the house, showing it isn't just a gimmick. Pat Patterson: Legendary wrestler from the 60s and 70s, more known now as one of the primary architects behind the WWF/WWE expansion under Vince McMahon in the 80s until now. Mostly quiet and good-humored (until the end).

Sibling Rivalry: Most of their infighting on the show seems to be this, as they almost always cool down quickly and refer to their "brotherhood." Averted so far with Duggan and Atlas, who seem to have problems going back decades with each other.

Dirty Old Man: Most of the cast can be this at times when a pretty young lady is present (Pat being an exception for obvious reasons), but Mean Gene really stands out, taking every opportunity to ogle the women & seemingly always describing them as "one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen".

Weird Trade Union: Pro Wrestling, of course. Even among long-time members like Howard Finkel don't quite know all the rules to it. For instance, he was unaware of the "King's Chair" rule for the limo (and probably most of the audience) and is baffled at Roddy Piper's anger at him over not taking charge when the cop pulled them over on the way to Vegas.

Cheaters Never Prosper: In the "How Well Do You Know Your Roommate" game, Piper & Duggan resort to telling each other what they wrote down since they've only really known one another since starting the show. However, when they get to the final question, "What could your roommate not live without?", Piper writes down the answer he gave ("Wife") on his hand & shows it to Duggan, who misreads it as "Life". Afterwards, Piper comes clean about the cheating, mostly because he thought the situation was hilarious.
