On this REMIX edition of Something To Wrestle, Conrad give us the very latest on Bruce's recovery from tricep surgery and how he hurt it in the first place. Then he takes us back 30 years to revisit Survivor Series 1993. To say the fall of October 1993 was a tough time for the WWF is an understatement. Vince McMahon and Titan Sports are going to be facing serious charges from the the Federal Government where they would face millions in fines and perhaps lose Titan Towers (and everything in it!).  Hulk Hogan is gone so they get Randy Savage back in the ring but before they do, Savage goes on JR's radio show and calls out Hulk Hogan for lying on the Arsenio Hall Show. Vince has decided to shift gears to a different type of main event attraction to feature Bret Hart and his feud with Jerry Lawler is the hottest in the company... and then Lawler got arrested. Despite business being down, they sold out the Boston Gardens in record time. How?  Bruce explains a new strategy that worked to move tickets and how they had to pivot away from Lawler in the main event. Why was Shawn chosen? Who were the Knights supposed to be? How were the other Hart brothers to work with? What was the original plan before it was Bret-Owen? Plus we discuss sidebars about Ludvig Borga, Ray Combs, and of course the creation of Reo Rodgers. Don't miss the show Bruce has wanted to cover since we started the podcast, Survivor Series 1993!

On this REMIX edition of Something To Wrestle, Conrad give us the very latest on Bruce's recovery from tricep surgery and how he hurt it in the first place. Then he takes us back 30 years to revisit Survivor Series 1993. To say the fall of October 1993 was a tough time for the WWF is an understatement. Vince McMahon and Titan Sports are going to be facing serious charges from the the Federal Government where they would face millions in fines and perhaps lose Titan Towers (and everything in it!).  Hulk Hogan is gone so they get Randy Savage back in the ring but before they do, Savage goes on JR's radio show and calls out Hulk Hogan for lying on the Arsenio Hall Show. Vince has decided to shift gears to a different type of main event attraction to feature Bret Hart and his feud with Jerry Lawler is the hottest in the company... and then Lawler got arrested. Despite business being down, they sold out the Boston Gardens in record time. How?  Bruce explains a new strategy that worked to move tickets and how they had to pivot away from Lawler in the main event. Why was Shawn chosen? Who were the Knights supposed to be? How were the other Hart brothers to work with? What was the original plan before it was Bret-Owen? Plus we discuss sidebars about Ludvig Borga, Ray Combs, and of course the creation of Reo Rodgers. Don't miss the show Bruce has wanted to cover since we started the podcast, Survivor Series 1993!

From humble beginnings to superstardom, Randy “The Natural” Couture is one of mixed martial arts' most-enduring legends, and a movie star. Randy and Rick swap stories and perspectives about UFC 13, in which Randy made his MMA debut, and Rick was managing and cornering for Randy's opponent Tony Halme (WWE's Ludvig Borga). Way above and beyond this, Randy openly shares his origin story, beginning with a single parent family, where he very demonstrably learned values and work ethic that would serve him well in later life. From there, Rick and Randy move through The Natural's journey into the world of sports (beginning with tennis and rollerskating!), to becoming a professional and a champion, a father, and ultimately, an actor, starring in major motion pictures. Randy candidly explores the challenges he's faced in life, including his marriages, and the times he's found himself in dark places, and dispenses hard-won wisdom about mistakes made and lessons learned. In the process, we get great advice from The Natural, on how we can all meet our challenges head on and ultimately, emerge victorious.

Tony Christian ”Viikinki” Halme eli värikkään elämän. Hän aloitti vaatimattomista oloista, ponnistaen yhden maailman suurimman vapaapainiorganisaation nousevaksi tähdeksi, koko Suomen tuntemaksi suunpieksijäksi, nyrkkeilyn raskaan sarjan kaksinkertaiseksi Suomen mestariksi ja kansanedustajaksi. Hänen lapsuutta leimasivat köyhyys ja kurjuus, mutta urheilusta antoi tarkoituksen elämälle. Pian fyysisesti kookas Halme tuli tutuksi pääkaupunkiseudun ravintoloiden ovimiehenä. Halme halusi päästä pois Suomesta. Tämä haave toteutui vuonna 1985, kun hän myi omaisuutensa ja muutti Yhdysvaltoihin, asettuen Los Angelesiin. Erilaisten henkivartijatöiden kautta löytyi uusi urapolku – vapaapaini. Halmeesta tuli Ludvig Borga, jota pääsi hämmästelemään parhaimmillaan 90 000 karjuvaa vapaapainifania illassa. Lopullinen läpimurto suomalaisten tietoisuuteen syntyi vuonna 1993 legendaarisen Gladiaattorit-ohjelman tiimoilta. Vapaapainiura päättyi kuitenkin yhtä nopeasti kuin se oli alkanutkin, jättäen jälkeensä terveysongelmia ja lääkeriippuvuuden. Seuraava aluevaltaus syntyi vuonna 1995 Las Vegasissa, kun Halme nousi ensimmäistä kertaa kehään ammattilaisnyrkkeilijänä. Eduskuntaan hänet valittiin valtavalla äänisaalilla ja kovan parranpärinän säestämänä vuonna 2003. Vaikuttavasti alkanut poliittinen ura kaatui jo saman vuoden heinäkuussa, kun Halme laukaisi asunnollaan pistoolin alkoholin ja amfetamiinin vaikutuksen alaisena. Tapauksen seurauksena hän vaipui viikoiksi koomaan ja sai aivovaurion. Hän ei kenties koskaan täysin palautunut ampumavälikohtausta seuranneista terveysongelmista, mutta jatkoi koko neljän vuoden kansanedustajakautensa loppuun saakka. Hänen elämänsä viimeiset vuodet olivat 7 päivää -lehden lööpeistä luettua syöksykierrettä, joka päättyi 8.1.2010 oman käden kautta. Hän oli 47-vuotias. Jean Mancini jututti kolmea Tony Halmeen tuntenutta ihmistä: Christer Markusas oli Halmeen elämän mittainen ystävä, Tom Sjöberg toimi King's tallin promoottorina ja mahdollisti hänen ammattilaisnyrkkeilyuran, perussuomalaisten entinen puheenjohtaja Timo Soini tutustui Halmeeseen politiikan kautta. Lisukkeena tälle jaksolle aikaisempi Veikko Vallin -juttutuokiomme.

A mostly upbeat episode despite the subject matter! Eric has one of the few good film podcasts out there, So It's Come to This, a loving look at everything from the distinguished canonical classics to the deepest, darkest B-movie trash. I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough, it's really lovely. Read Eric's reviews on Segunda Caida, a blog where he mostly writes about Ludvig Borga matches and NXT UK. It sounds bad but it's actually quite good! Matches discussed: El Brazo/Brazo de Oro/Brazo de Plata vs. Hombre Bala/Pirata Morgan/Verdugo (CMLL, 11/10/89) El Brazo/Brazo de Oro/Brazo de Plata vs. MS-1/El Satánico/Pirata Morgan (CMLL, 11/22/91) Brazo de Plata vs. Máscara Año Dos Mil (CMLL, 8/7/98) Brazo de Plata/El Hijo del Santo/Psicosis vs. Damian/Halloween/Rey Misterio, Sr. (Tijuana, 2001) Averno/Mephisto/Rey Escorpión vs. Brazo de Plata/Místico/Valiente (CMLL, 9/27/13)      

Harry and Shane are back in the tokyo dome again.  Struggling for bad impressions, we have to settle for Larry Zbyszko and Bill Alfonso.  The podcast almost ends when Shane doesn't like Sting/Muta vs. Steiner Bros.  Shane gets bored and googles Ludvig Borga (and regrets it).  We also are treated to some great matches featuring Antonio Inoki, Minoru Suzuki, Shinsuke Nakamura, Naomichi Marufuji, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada, Scott Norton (Harry made me write that), and many more.  Two great shows going at it this week!

Welcome to the 6th Round Retro Post-Fight Show. This is the show that digs into the archives and gives you a comprehensive review of classic MMA events, that span as far back as UFC 1. Join Victor Rodriguez & Mookie Alexander as they deviate from the normal format of the show and rather than delving into an MMA event of yesteryear they are covering the FIGHT ZONE PPV (pay-per-view) event which aired on the “Action Pay-Per-View-Channel” in May 1995. The event was produced by boxing phenom Sugar Ray Leonard. Notable to pro wrestling fans would be the appearance of Tony Hale, who appeared in the WWF as Ludvig Borga in 1993. So let’s take a trip back to the mid-90s this week and check out this strange hybrid of mixed martial arts and pro wrestling tactics, complete with results, analysis, and of course a few laughs. As mentioned, this week we feature the May, 1995 ‘FIGHT ZONE’ PPV event, (last episode we covered BELLATOR 58: ‘Michael Chandler vs Eddie Alvarez’). This event can be viewed while we delve into the show on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/kH2VODfVmGI We start off the program with a totally nineties hype-train opener: “If raw, bare-fisted combat is what you crave – then enter the FIGHT ZONE! The most dangerous place on Earth!!!” The show went down from the “world famous Hollywood Palladium Arena” in California. Your ‘commentators’ were Danny Martinez and Cameron Fedder (a self-described underground fight devotee and fan of violence). The big name host of the show was none other than Eric Estrada (of television hit show C.H.I.P.S. fame), along with co-host Ray Leonard, Jr.. Their ‘Reporter on the Floor’ was Brad Fuller and their ‘Technical Advisor’ & Former World Karate Champion, Michael Jai White was on the scene for ‘fight insights’. They had a lengthy cast lined up for the event which included: Willie Anderson Jr aka: ‘Pit Fighter’, Adam Avoledo aka: ‘Badd Karma’, Clayton J. Barber aka: ‘Hollywood’, Richard Branden aka: ‘Daddy Rich’, Spitfire Brown aka: ‘Spitfire’, Michael Chaturantabut aka: ‘Captain Kick’, Genrri Diammante aka: ‘Henry’, Cameron Flener, R.J. Frost aka: ‘Flyboy’, Mitch Gould aka: ‘Mr. Smith’, Rickson Gracie, Tony Hale aka: ‘Viking’, Jeff Harris aka: ‘J.D. Harms’, Carlton Holder, Tom Howard, Howard Jackson, Pat E. Johnson, Kazja as himself, Tae-John Lee, Rae Manzon, Brad Martin aka: ‘The Plow’, Andre McCoy aka: ‘Cheap Shot’, Scott McElroy aka: ‘Bruce Burly’, Mario Mugavero, Hien Nguyen, Richard Notron, Mikael Paul Patrick O’Tighearnaigh aka: ‘Irish Assassin’, Chris Palermo, Erik Paulson, Eric Perrodin aka: ‘Phlash’, J.J. Perry, Matthew Pollino aka: ‘El Muerte’, Dennis Reese aka: ‘Garbage Man’, Burton Richardson, J.D. Rifkin aka: ‘Suit’, Cynthia Rothrock, Joe Son, Chad Stahelski aka: ‘Ski’, Nils Allen Stewart aka: ‘Mongolian’, Jen Sung, Lelagi Togisala aka: ‘Butch’, Takis Triggelis aka: ‘Genre’, Kenneth Turner aka: ‘KC Flow’, Don Wilson, and Marcus Young aka: ‘Tetsuo’. And you can’t forget, ‘The Easy Riders Leather Girls’. Yes, all of that talent appeared in under an hour. The show was produced by Seth Ersoff, Brad Fuller and Sugar Ray Leonard. Stunts performed by J.D. Rifkin with an on-site Stunt Coordinator, Jan Washburn. A popular television gimmick at the time was phone-in viewer interactivity, so the program invited the viewers to call their hotline after the show and vote for who they wanted to be the Champion, regardless them winning their bout or not. _______________________________ If you enjoy our show, "heart" us here on SC, or "like" & share over on whichever BE Presents Podcast Channel happens to be your listening platform of choice.

We are going to be honest folks: this week's episode of RAW that we decided to watch is not very good. But Justin C and Heather keep you entertained on this week's 3 Beers Deep Wrestling Podcast!Justin and Heather watch WWF RAW from 12/20/93. The big revenge match everyone in 1993 was waiting for takes place as Tatanka and Ludvig Borga battle it out, as Tatanka looks for revenge on Borga after his attach two months prior. We also talk about the beginnings of the Bret Hart/Owen Hart feud, the career of Bryan Adams and the attire of jobbers!Crack open some drinks and give it a listen!

This week's New Generation Declassified features a TMPT reunion as John Poz joins Chad for a look back at one his JP's favorite WWF Superstars of all time, Ludvig Borga. A mere six months or so in the WWF felt the wrath of Tony Halme portraying Borga, a Finnish powerhouse who literally would squash his opponents while running down the USA in a way that may or may not make him somewhat of an endearing character to a modern day audience. But nonetheless, his impact was felt in the short amount of time he worked for Vince McMahon and we cover it in full on this look back at the very complex Ludvig Borga.

This week, Taking To You To School with Dr. Tom Prichard focuses on WWF Survivor Series 1993. Dr Tom and co-host John Poz take a dive deep into what was going on in and around the WWF in the Fall of 1993. We talk about Yokozuna, Vince McMahon, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Macho Man, Lex Luger, Doink, Bam Bam Bigelow, Ludvig Borga, Razor Ramon, Owen Hart and so much more!

Join Ontario independent wrestling personality, Bill Chase, as he takes you on an ongoing journey throughout his years as a wrestling fan from 1987 all the way to today. On this episode, Bill reminisces about the thanksgiving tradition known as Survivor Series '93. He looks back on the main event scene at the time and how he perceived Lex Luger among the top babyfaces in the main event scene at the time, how disappointed he was but had little knowledge of why Jerry Lawler wasn't at the show. How he felt about some of the feuds at the time such as Crush vs. Macho Man, or Ludvig Borga vs. Luger.

This week we go into overtime as we return to our hero Lex Luger (for the very last time) as he leaves WCW and heads towards WWE, taking a pitstop through Vince McMahon's World Bodybuilding Federation along the way.It's hard to imagine any wrestler ever again having a push like Lex Luger received in the Summer of 1993 and even harder to imagine weirder booking than what followed. Lex Luger's career hits so many beats that it's hard to keep up.In this action packed episode, we're covering The Narcissist, Lex Express Tour, Summerslam 1993, Yokozuna, Mr. Perfect, Royal Rumble 1994, Tatanka, Bret Hart, Ludvig Borga, Mall of America, WCW, Hulk Hogan and Miss Elizabeth.This is a ridiculously action packed episode that also sees the end of a long term SFTF's storyline. You can't beat long term booking!

Kris & David are joined by Robert O’Connor (@ghostofquinones) to discuss the week-plus that was September 22-29, 1993. We talk about the WWF stripping Shawn Michaels of the Intercontinental Championship and quickly filling the vacancy with Razor Ramon. We also talk about the start of the Ludvig Borga super-push and Undertaker-Yokozuna feud, the rise of Radio WWF, and Titan Sports’ legal team going after bootleggers, which eventually resulted in a lawsuit against RF Video and L&S Comix. We then look at a loaded week in Japan featuring Hulk Hogan capping off a record-breaking house show week for NJPW, Big Bossman/Big Bubba returning to AJPW, a major AJW show flopping at the box office, and much more. We also take a look at Mocho Cota jumping back to CMLL, the seemingly impending takeover of ECW by Jim Crockett and Jim Hudson’s WWN, Dallas woes, a LOT of commission drama Oregon, and much more across North America. Finally, we close out with WCW, where negotiations with Hulk Hogan have commences. Robert was great as usual, so check this show out NOW!!!! Timestamps: 0:00:00 WWF 1:34:05 Japan & Misc.

This week, Taking To You To School with Dr. Tom Prichard is all about Real Backstage Fights and Legit Tough Guys. Take a journey behind the scenes with Dr Tom and John Poz as they discuss some infamous brawls, fights, crazy stories, and just who are some of the toughest men ever in the history of pro wrestling. Macho Man vs Bill Dundee, Dr Tom vs Tracey Smothers, HBK vs Bret Hart, Ludvig Borga vs Scott Norton, Jacques Rougeau vs Dynamite Kid, Brian Lee vs Buddy Landell, and so much more is covered!

Rick, from Little Big Man: “I’ve had hundreds –maybe thousands—of awesomely bizarre, hysterical and terrifying experiences in Pro Wrestling & Mixed Martial Arts, in every corner of the globe.” Each week, Rick shares one of these experienced, right here on The Ring + The Cage. The Ring & The Cage – August 1, 2020. “POPPING MY UFC CHERRY: (or, Pro Wrestling & MMA don’t always mix so good ?? ) Rick recounts his inaugural venture into mixed martial arts management. His first client? Tony Halme, aka Ludvig Borga, a man who is also making his first venture in MMA. And never should have. Hilarity ensures. As well as a good ‘ol-fashioned whuppin’ at the hands of another man making his MMA debut… Randy Couture.

Dylan ‘Hornwoggle’ Postl and Ross Owen Williams settle back in to finish off the A to Z of Wrestling’s Best Big Guys, kicking it off with Kane, finishing with another four letter wonder in Zeus, and discussing The Undertaker, Ludvig Borga, One Man Gang, Rikishi, Tugboat, and many more along the way…

Every story about the life of Tony Halme, professional wrestling's Ludvig Borga, seemed so outrageous they couldn't possibly be true. Halme truly lived the “foreign heel” gimmick in his surreal, shocking life; he was openly racist and homophobic and even had a Nazi tattoo. Yet, despite being an overtly bigoted man with deplorable views, he kept surfacing in public worlds of celebrity: he was a pro wrestler, boxer, UFC fighter, actor, writer, and musician before getting elected to parliament in Finland. Before he was even a year into his political term, he overdosed on amphetamines and alcohol, shot an illegal firearm in his apartment during an argument with his wife, and went into a 3-week coma where he possibly suffered brain damage. As unbelievable as it all seems, it was all actually real. Follow along with the article! Click here to read "Ludvig Borga – The Surreal, Shocking Life of Tony Halme" on Pro Wrestling Stories.

Anyone can punch a nazi, but on today's episode we punch down at one on a podcast. Jake, Nick, and Micah discuss Tony Halme's acting, political, MMA, and pro wrestling careers, and we're super not chill about it.

The boys round out “Raw So Far 1993” with the historic Savage/Crush Summit, Bastion Boogers’ eating habits, Ludvig Borga’s superior promo skills, the end of Matt Borne as Doink, a farewell to Bobby Heenan, and a final ruling on who wins the title of “Best Match of 1993.”  Also: we get Kwang, the Master of the Martial Arts, and the debut of a country music hall-of-famer. 13 subscribers and dropping!
