Unveiling the Gripping Wrestlers' Journey in Season 2: Inside the World of Heels Stars Robby Ramos, Allen Maldonado & Trey Tucker

Summary

The DWL faces a significant challenge as Charlie Gully, the promoter of Florida Wrestling Dystopia, relentlessly strives to dismantle their operations and force them into closure.

In its second season, the show explores the intricate dynamics of the characters' relationships and delves into the darker aspects of the wrestling world, where dreams do not always come true.

Returning for Heels season 2, Allen Maldonado, Robby Ramos, and Trey Tucker take the rivalry between the DWL and Florida Wrestling Dystopia to unprecedented levels. Ramos portrays Diego Cottonmouth, while Tucker embodies the character of Bobby Pin, both renowned stars of the Duffy Wrestling League. Maldonado takes on the role of Rooster Robbins, a former DWL wrestler who made a controversial move to become the Florida Wrestling Dystopia Champion.

The DWL in Heels season 2 is facing a major threat from Charlie Gully, the aggressive promoter of Florida Wrestling Dystopia. Alongside the ongoing family drama between brothers Jack Spade and Ace Spade, this poses an even bigger problem for the organization. Screen Rant recently had the opportunity to speak with Robby Ramos, Allen Maldonado, and Trey Tucker about their roles as wrestlers in the series. They discussed the darker aspects of professional wrestling, their experiences working with Kelli Berglund as Crystal Tyler, and what they are most excited for fans to witness. It is important to note that this interview took place prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike and acknowledges the valuable contributions of the writers and actors affiliated with WGA and SAG-AFTRA in bringing the show to life.

Robby Ramos, Allen Maldonado & Trey Tucker Talk Heels Season 2

Screen Rant: Hey guys, it's an honor to talk to the DWL and the Florida Dystopia champion.

Allen Maldonado: The champ is here!

Trey Tucker: Oh man, he's been doing this all day.

Allen Maldonado: That's right! The champ is here!

Allen, now that you're all fired up, let's kick things off with you. Rooster, who is the reigning Florida Dystopia champion, has finally liberated himself from the clutches of Jack Spade and is shining as the star he was always destined to be. Can you share what other aspects Rooster aims to prove in the upcoming second season?

Allen Maldonado: The main goal for Rooster is to retain that championship belt. I've already demonstrated my skills and charm, as Robby so kindly pointed out. (laughs) We had a private conversation about highlighting Rooster's charisma along with his talent. Nevertheless, I believe there's more to being the champ than just winning. Now that I've earned this title, the challenge in season 2 will be maintaining my reign and living up to the expectations. It's like they say, with great power comes great responsibility, right Robby?

Robby, let's shift our focus to you. In season 2, Diego ventures more into the podcasting realm, and you find yourself teamed up with Wild Bill frequently. Can you share your experience working with Bill and also Chris Bauer as your scene partner?

Robby Ramos: It's truly incredible, man. Chris is such a down-to-earth person despite his extensive accomplishments. For me, it was a valuable learning experience. I saw it as a chance to learn from a mentor, similar to Diego's perspective. As Diego, the character, he truly immerses himself in the world of lifelong wrestling enthusiasts. He delves deep into conventions and discovers both the challenges and potential setbacks of success. It was an intriguing journey for me overall.

Trey. My man. Bobby is the nice guy who finished first. Tell me all about Bobby and Crystal and working with Kelli Berglund because, my friend, you have my envy.

Trey Tucker spoke highly of Kelli, expressing admiration for her. He mentioned enjoying their scenes together and hinted at the complexity of their relationship in the second season. Trey believes that all the relationships in the upcoming season will develop in a deeper and more intertwined manner. He looks forward to seeing Kelli and Bobby embark on this journey, as they both genuinely care about each other. Trey finds it heartwarming to witness Kelli's well-deserved success and Bobby's pure excitement for her. He eagerly anticipates seeing how their relationship unfolds.

I loved season 2, but I'm curious, what was your favorite moment from it? Is there something in particular that you can't wait for everyone to witness?

Allen Maldonado: Personally, I'm really looking forward to a specific scene where I step into the ring. I actually have this amazing monologue during that moment, and I'm really eager to see how it turns out. The interesting part was that CM [Punk] had these amusing expressions on his face throughout my monologue, so I'm excited to see how that dynamic looks on screen.

Trey Tucker: The finale of the show is truly amazing. I had the opportunity to watch it with the team in LA while they were making the final edits. Being in the room and witnessing the process was incredible. The entire season is fantastic, but the way we conclude it is particularly outstanding. In my opinion, it's an even better finale than what we had in season one. If you weren't already hooked on the show by the end of the first season, I can't imagine that you won't be by the end of the second.

Robby Ramos: The dynamic between Wild Bill and Diego is fascinating. Additionally, exploring the darker side of the wrestling world and the reality of unfulfilled dreams adds depth to the story. We delve into the real-life consequences of not achieving the dreams you once had, which is an interesting aspect to explore. This season takes the story to a new level, allowing you to fully understand and connect with these characters. If you enjoyed them in the first season, I believe you'll appreciate the development and complexity that the second season brings. I'm excited to see your reaction to it.
