- Nick Mondo recently appeared on the Wrestling Inc. Daily. During the interview, he touched on a possible season two for Heels, a show he is a stuntman on:
“I’m also dabbling in stunt work, which is very interesting to me. Do you know the show Heels? I was there for the whole first season working on the stunt team. You’ll spot me a few times in the show. They actually let me wear my gimmick, my Nick Mondo gimmick, on the show. I think there’s going to be a season two. I haven’t gotten the confirmation, but I’m hearing some rumblings, and so I’m very eager to get back in there.”
