Chris Jericho steps into 'Downfall' ring

ABC is looking toward the squared circle to host the upcoming game show "Downfall."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, pro wrestler Chris Jericho has been tapped to host the show, which premieres June 22 for a six-episode run.

Jericho, a former World Wrestling Entertainment champion, can currently be seen on "WWE Monday Night Raw."  His non-wrestling resume includes fronting the rock group Fozzy, writing the 2007 memoir "A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex" and appearing in the recently released film "MacGruber."

Jericho may sound like an unusual choice to host such a program, but "Downfall" doesn't appear to be your typical game show.

According to ABC, the show features contestants answering trivia questions on top of a 10-story building in downtown Los Angeles.  Joining Jericho and the contestants on the building is what's described as the "largest conveyor belt ever seen on TV." "Fabricated facsimiles" of all available prizes will be placed on the belt as the contestants try and answer trivia questions as quickly as possible before their prizes - which include cash - fall down to the street below.

If the contestants can't answer their questions right, they can either "surrender a personal possession" or get help from a friend or family member on a question, risking the personal item or helpful friend being thrown off the building if the contestant can't beat the clock (People on the conveyor belt will wear safety harnesses to prevent injury).

When all is said and done, one contestant can go home with one million dollars in cash, or face being tossed off the building.
