There aren't any people with positive things to say about Tony "Ludvig Borga" Halme. During his brief WWE career, he made a lot of enemies and was characterized as a bully. After retiring from the ring, he suffered from drug and alcohol issues, but still managed to become a member of Finnish parliament as part of a right-wing nationalist political party.

In WWE, Borga played an anti-American environmentalist, but despite his lame persona and lack of skills, he still managed to work his way into a single PPV main event. At Survivor Series 1993, WWE decided to go with a jingoistic "USA vs. The World" theme, booking a traditional eight-man elimination tag team match. "The All-Americans" were comprised of The Undertaker, The Steiner Brothers, and Lex Luger, while "The Foreign Fanatics" featured Borga, Quebecer Jacques, Crush, and WWE Champion Yokozuna.

The babyfaces ultimately won, though Borga made it to the end - Luger pinned him to pick up the win for the USA team. Needless to say, this was not one of the most memorable main events in Survivor Series history, and today, it's little more than the answer to a trivia question.
