Stephen Amell is doing an 8-episode drama called HEELS about husband and wife wrestling couple in Georgia. Pilot was written by someone involved with Community.

Instead of a world title, they get a piece of that AGGRO CRAG.

We're just one step closer from Amell making the fulltime switch to wrestling. Guaranteed he does an angle for the show in AEW when it's about to premiere.

 

[Youth N Asia]

While I like Amell in general. He’s not a strong actor. Looking forward to see how this works though.

While it's not him showing up in AEW, it's one step closer

[cobainwasmurdered]

that looks laughably bad

 

[King Kamala]

There's definitely great potential for a dramatic series about independent wrestling but I do NOT trust that Starz is the network to produce it.


Ah shit. Frank Sobotka dressed like a glam rock David Crosby!!!!

"JACOB HAD DA GUTS TO WRESTLE WITH GAHD, HOW BOUT YEWWW"

 

[King Kamala]

There's going to be so many memes made out of Cody's inevitable story arc as a glowering land developer that HATES wrestling.

TSM's favorite publication The AV Club said this was a decent dramedy and CM Punk steals the show FWIW (probably not much).

 

[snuffbox]

I'll give this a shot just for Chris Bauer.

Obv reviewers can have different tastes but AV Club tends to be pretty harsh in their reviews. A decent review from them is a p good sign

I like Chris Bauer just fine. But I don’t know if this line has ever been said before.

This looks cringy bad for me. Amell seems like he was right for a roll like Arrow, but nothing else.

Heels Showrunner Mike O'Malley Also Grapples With Villain Role in Starz Wrestling Drama — Get a First Look

TV vet Mike O’Malley tackled double duty on Starz’s upcoming Heels, not only serving as the wrestling drama’s showrunner but also filling a villainous role, TVLine has learned exclusively. Written by Michael Waldron (Rick and Morty) with O’Malley serving as showrunner, Heels follows a...

Hey hold up! MIKE O'MALLEY is the SHOWRUNNER and LEAD VILLAIN for this!?!?

My interest is GAK BACK!

 

[Brocklock]

Mike O'Malley killed it as a villain on Justified a while back. INTEREST IS BACK

DO DO DO DO YOU HAVE IT?

 

[King Kamala]

Mike O'Malley's character is the owner/operator of a death match promotion. Uh, how does @Laz feel about Mike O'Malley!???

 

[Lazgistics Supervisor]

I...like him a lot, actually. He was awesome as a villain on Justified, like @Brocklock said, and he made that generic sitcom where he was the deadbeat brother watchable. He also has a fun turn in the Good Place.

 

[King Kamala]

He was also briefly the quintessential NEW ENGLAND MAN during a brief period in the mid '90s after Cheers ended but before Good Will Hunting made Matt Damon & Ben Affleck superstars.

Heads up to @Brocklock and any other Chicago area TSMers. CM Punk (and Stephen Amell!!!) is gonna be at a screening of a random episode of Heels!

 

[SFH]

I've enjoyed the first two episodes. For the most part I've been saying, "y'all need to be nicer to Crystal" and that appears to be resolving.

Fun little interview with Luke Hawx

 

[SFH]

I enjoyed CM Punk in episode 3. He simultaneously was not CM Punk while still being CM Punk if that makes sense. The lack of tattoos was jarring. There are a LOT of great individual efforts by the cast and I can't really pinpoint my favorite.

[Brocklock]

Damn, I didn't know Blindspotting had a show. The movie is great.
