Making a name for yourself in WWE isn’t easy. Many wrestlers start strong but later struggle to stay relevant and fade from the spotlight. Some take advantage of their opportunities, building successful careers and becoming superstars. In contrast, others can’t keep up the momentum and end up being remembered for just one big match.

Over the years, numerous highly talented WWE stars have struggled to leave a lasting impact, despite their generational skills. In many cases, devastating injuries have played a major role in their downfall. Another significant factor that has derailed the careers of countless wrestlers in the promotion is the use of steroids, which has led to irreparable consequences for many.

Ludvig Borga: Hellraiser From Helsinki Season 6 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Dark Side of the Ring” titled “Ludvig Borga: Hellraiser From Helsinki” promises to delve deep into the life of Tony Halme, who is known for his time in the WWF as the character Ludvig Borga.

Natasha Flynn (Polly Maberly) feels destined for trouble in director Gerard Johnson’s gritty London thriller, Odyssey, but in a far more violent, genre-leaning way than you’d expect. The prickly, coke-fueled real estate agent presents as far more financially successful than she is, putting her constantly on the cusp of complete self-destruction. While that alone would make for a fascinating character study, Johnson instead puts her on a strange, well, odyssey into the city’s dark underbelly, putting Narasha on a collision course with shocking violence.

Odyssey begins as a drama, with no looming signs for the left field turn straight into dark thriller territory to introduce an unconventional lead in Natasha. The seemingly put together and highly successful real estate agent is tough, no nonsense, and icy, relying on her coke habit to keep up her energy to land sales and get her through the day. But the longer we spend with Natasha,...

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is filled with inspiration and references to a lot of mythical and mythological narratives that are spread across the world. From Alabasta to Fish-men Island, every new arc brings with it a reference to one of the old cultural tales from different communities. The same is going to happen with the Elbaf arc.

With the Egghead arc reaching its conclusion slowly, the next adventure for the Straw Hat Pirates is already set. The inclusion of the Giants in Egghead has given confirmation that the next step in Luffy’s journey will take him to the famous Elbaf village, which has been a mystery for One Piece fans for almost 25 years.

As fans may have already figured out by observing the characters from Elbaf (the Giants), it is based on the Viking culture from Norse mythology. However, Oda once revealed his real inspiration behind the upcoming arc,...

As we have seen from the backstage happenings in 1993, sometimes the biggest stories in WWF/E happen off screen rather than on screen. We learned about how Shawn Michaels quit the WWF, how Vince McMahon’s first stint as a heel was in the Uswa, who the second Doink was, and that Hulk Hogan called the WWF Championship a toy.

Moving on to the next installment of this series, we take a look at 1994. On screen, this was the year that Bret Hart reclaimed his spot at the top of the company, and Owen Hart was brought to the forefront as one of the biggest heels in the company. Macho Man, Bobby Heenan, and Mean Gene Okerlund left the WWF and joined Hulk Hogan in WCW. And at the end of the year, Diesel scored one of the more shocking and unexpected WWF Championship victories in history.

All of this we know.
