10 Wrestler Deaths Ignored By WWE
WWE don't acknowledge every wrestler's passing
5. Ludvig Borga
In comparison to his wild and controversial life and career, Tomy Halme’s stay in WWE was relatively uneventful.
But to a great many wrestling fans, they remember Halme – who wrestled in New Japan, fought in the UFC, acted in movies, and even successfully ran for office in his native Finland – as the foreign menace Ludvig Borga.
The man who broke Tatanka’s undefeated streak and attempted to topple Lex Luger was only in WWE for around six months or so, but he made an impression on viewers and those in the locker room in that time.
It wasn’t a good one. Considered a bully by most, The Hellraiser from Helsinki didn’t exactly endear himself to colleagues by walking around with an SS tattoo on his calf and few were sorry to see him go.
Halme’s exploits after WWE were colourful, but legal issues and health problems related to his hard-partying lifestyle and career in combat sports left him believing that the only way out was at his own hand.
Two days after his 47th birthday, Halme ended his own life, a life WWE never saw fit to eulogise.
