Who here is Watching Heels?(The Stephen Amell Show)

[Dub H]

Pretty good show and the last couple episodes really brough a much needed heat to the story, really despicable character

And what a timing too,since a character basically pulled a Ric Flair but actually got punished for it.Beat Vice by a couple of weeks

[Ultimo Gallos]

I started a thread on it right after episode 1 aired. Didn't get much traction.

Loving the show. Plus it nice to see some of the Wildkat Sports guys I have known for years now,like Bu Ku Dao or Danny Flamingo.

Wild Bill = show stealer.

I watched Dark Side and the Wild Bill naked on a plane episode back to back, in a fortunate coincidence.

The show being on a premium cable package likely doesn't make it too accessible for most people.

I guess. We got Starz/Encore as part of the DISH package. But if we didn't I know it wouldn't be hard to get copies of the show thru other means.

Figure once season 1 is over,which I think the final episode airs tomorrow,this season will be on Hulu.

Ah OK I thought I had read it was 6 episodes long. Keep waiting to see Luke Hawx appear. I know he worked on the show. And brought a good amount of his Wildkat students with him.

I personally just didn't like it.

I like Stephen Amell and he is one of the best celebrities to step into a wrestling ring. I was looking forward to it. Ive also been saying for years that a drama like this about the behind the scenes of a pro wrestling promotion could be amazing. However, the acting and writing is nothing special, and its hard to buy into a modern day wrestling promotion that is portrayed as a 70's/80's territory.

[MC Blowfish]

I'm not feeling it. The acting is subpar and it's portrayed as if it's an old school territory, instead of a modern day promotion. They mention kayfabe but it doesn't appear to be upheld.

Plus the theme song sounds like I'm watching a CW show instead of a show on Starz.

[Muskrat]

Still haven’t actually watched it

For me,the DWL is so much like all the MS/LA indies. Outside of the running weekly. And until 3 years ago there was 3 feds in MS/LA that ran weekly events in the same place.

For example Battlezone Championship Wrestling. Has been owned by someone in the Williamson family since 2002 or so. For 15 years they ran weekly events at the BZ arena in Magee. Then they lost that arena. And now run monthly either in Raleigh MS or in Braxton.

But really most of the indies in the deep south are so much like the old territory days.

[Dub H]

Man they dont do it much, but when the show pulls the wrestling shit,they do well.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I was really thinking "If Jack shows up in place of Ace,thats gonna draw some fans,brother!"

[Ultimo Gallos]

Good episode tonight. Nice cameo from Luke Hawx.
