19 Wrestlers From Raw's Debut Year Who Are No Longer With Us

12. Ludvig Borga

With perhaps one of the oddest takes on the evil foreigner gimmick around, Ludvig Borga engaged in feuds with Tatanka and Lex Luger towards the latter half of 1993. Borga was odd as his gimmick was to essentially hate the USA for their environmental record, often comparing the country unfavourably with his native Finland. Borga wasn€™t long for the WWE and left the company in 1994, though nor before ending Tatanka's undefeated streak. He eventually found his way to MMA for a brief period before entering the political world in Finland. He was no stranger to controversy during this time and at one point he was even placed in a mental hospital. What followed was eventual proof that he did have psychological issues. Borga, whose real name was Tony Halme, shot himself in 2010 at the age of 47.
