Wrestling is making a comeback in the mainstream....
This show, that GLOW show for Netflix, The Rock's/Paige's movie...and y'all actually have me sold on the idea that vintage wrestling tees are having a little run amongst celebs.
Of course, there's everything the WWE does. Their deal with ESPN is a good look, especially during mania season.
Damn do I wish there were some competition.

To me, my board!
‘Arrow’ Star Stephen Amell to Lead Starz Wrestling Drama ‘Heels’
Stephen Amell has set his first major post-“Arrow” role.
The actor, who will make his final outing as the bow-wielding super hero this season, has been cast as the lead in a wrestling drama series entitled “Heels,” which has been handed an eight-episode order by Starz.
The hour-long drama is set in a close-knit Georgia community and follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals war over their late father’s legacy. Amell will play the role of Jack Spade, the heel (a wrestling term for villain) in the ring to his brother’s good guy.
Outside of the ring, Amell’s character is described as a hard-working owner, a husband and father trying to make ends meet while fighting to realize his impossible dreams. He has the mind of an artist in the body of a warrior, and a Steve Jobs-ian need for perfection and control.
“Heels” is written by Michael Waldron, who is set to pen the pilot for “Loki” at Disney Plus, and has Mike O’Malley, who previously executive produced “Survivor’s Remorse” at the cable network, on board as showrunner. Along with Waldron and O’Malley, LBI Entertainment’s Julie Yorn, Chris Donnelly and Patrick Walmsley will also serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Lionsgate Television for Starz in association with Paramount Television Studios.

He got the role that Punk tested for in '17. 
I fux with Starz too. They've had some really underrated shows in the past - Survivors Remorse, Black Sails, Party Down, Power, Counterpart. They have a habit of cancelling dope shows too though

Surprising that it took them over 2 years to make an announcement even though the show went straight to series without a pilot.
They'd probably have a bigger subscription base if they had bigger movies in their library and I like Starz. They have dope shows but HBO and Netflix have bigger and sometimes better movies in their library so if a broke student or family head has to choose they'll usually pick Netflix and HBO over it.

I never watched it
I'll give it a try.They cancelled so many good shows
I was genuinely mad when they bushed 'Survivor's Remorse'. At it's peak it was crazy underrated. shyt was genuinely hilarious and thought provoking every week, even if they never showed Cam on the court. Cancelling Counterpart was a crying shame. JK Simmons did some great work in it.

Kelsey Grammar is incredible in it. TI was about to have a storyline where he was going to be elected into office just before they cancelled it too. Only two seasons, it's a quick watch.

I always felt like the catering service on Party Down was a metaphor for the show being on Starz.
It was at the end of the dial and everyone there was kind of waiting on a bigger and better opportunity to come along.
The fact that Jane Lynch left halfway through and got the Glee gig was funny as hell to me. Adam Scott, Lizzie Caplan, Martin Starr and Ken Marino all went on to do well for themselves too.
