Stephen Amell once wrestled Christopher Daniels on a sold-out show from Chicago’s Sears Center. Now, almost one year later, the former Arrow leading actor is being announced as starring in a new wrestling-themed TV show on Starz. The show will be titled “Heels.”
Amell has already invited his friend and former co-star Cody Rhodes onto the show. Cody previously appeared in several episodes of Arrow.
Cody responded with the following:
The show follows the lives of two brothers as they feud over their family-owned Georgia-based wrestling promotion. It is scheduled for an 8-episode first season.
