"Alright guys, let's gear up for World of Warcraft!" Those are words that nobody has ever expected Paul Teutul Jr. to utter in this lifetime, but here they are.

Following a call from Blizzard Entertainment's Chris Metzen and Sam Didier, the famous motorcycle maker has agreed to participate in a show called Azeroth Choppers, where he and his hand-picked team of experts will bring customized World of Warcraft-inspired bikes to life.

Custom motorcycle designer Paul Jr. will personally lead the teams who will build two motorcycles, representing the two warring factions from Blizzard's massively multiplayer online role-playing game, the honorable Alliance and the mighty Horde.

The entire process will be documented in a series of episodes which will be released on the Internet, with the show's premiere being scheduled for April 17.

In the end, only one chopper will reign as the supreme and undisputed king of Azeroth's roads, in a winner-takes-all kind of showdown, where World of Warcraft players from all across the world will get to vote on their favorite design.

Blizzard's Senior Vice President and chief storyteller Chris Metzen will be leading Team Alliance. Over the years, he's filled numerous roles at the company, from artist to game designer to voice actor and writer, and you most likely heard his voice throughout your gaming career without even knowing it.

Art Director Sam "Samwise" Didier will be in charge of Team Horde, and as lead singer of Blizzard's in-house band, The Artists Formerly Known as Level-90 Elite Tauren Chieftain, he's sure to put up a good fight.
