Heels (2021) S1 E7

This show confuses me with its setting. The fact they don’t like female wrestlers, the crappy indie world where there doesn’t seem to be a “WWE” around even though they talk about the legends of wrestling. I guess FWD is like WWE, but it’s really not. All this ancient crap, yet the vehicles are modern and they have smartphones. Lastly, it really feels like “Arrow joins pro wrestling”. Stephen is a terrible actor, can’t keep his hillbilly accent going and has to do the same old “my way or the highway character”, “I’m doing this for the greater good”, “I’m gonna treat you like shit and abuse you, but then weakly apologize and expect you to accept it”. Still interesting to watch, but it’s comparable to no other wrestling drama except the movie starring rourke.

When they talk about the big promotion up north, and Connecticut, where Wild Bill gets fired from, and previously tried to recruit Ace Spade to - that’s the stand in for the WWE. The show even had him replicate a Ric Flair incident on the plane, but in this show that gets someone fired from “the big company”.
