Editing Tony Halme (section)

===World Wrestling Federation (1993–1994)===

On ''[[WWF Superstars of Wrestling|Superstars]]'' aired on July 24, Halme debuted in the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) as '''Ludvig Borga''', a [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] Finn who appeared in a series of vignettes castigating Americans for their perceived deficiencies in issues such as environmental laws and their educational system. His singlet was adorned with the [[Finland|Finnish]] flag, and his entrance music was ''[[Maamme]]'', the country's [[national anthem]].

Borga was immediately pushed to main event status as he entered a feud with the federation's top [[Face (professional wrestling)|babyface]], "Made in the USA" [[Lex Luger]]. On the October 30, 1993 edition of ''Superstars'' (filmed September 28), Borga had the biggest win of his career when he ended [[Tatanka (wrestler)|Tatanka]]'s undefeated streak of nearly two years, dominating him throughout their match and ultimately knocking him out with a steel chair while the referee was distracted by [[Harry Fujiwara|Mr. Fuji]] at ringside. In a mockery of Luger's past "Narcissist" gimmick, Borga pinned Tatanka with one finger.<ref name="superstars"/> At [[Survivor Series (1993)|Survivor Series]], Borga participated in the main event, teaming up with [[Yokozuna (wrestler)|Yokozuna]], [[Jacques Rougeau|Quebecer Jacques]] and [[Brian Adams (wrestler)|Crush]] as the "Foreign Fanatics" against "All-Americans" Lex Luger, [[The Undertaker]] and [[The Steiner Brothers]].<ref name="Survivor Series - All-Americans vs Foreign Fanatics">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/survivorseries/history/1993/mainevent/|title=Survivor Series 1993 main event|access-date=2008-01-13|publisher=WWE}}</ref> Borga and Luger were the final two remaining participants and Borga was eliminated by Luger after a running forearm smash.<ref name="Survivor Series - All-Americans vs Foreign Fanatics"/> On December 14, Borga pinned Intercontinental Champion [[Scott Hall (wrestler)|Razor Ramon]] at a [[house show]], but the win was overturned and the match resumed because Razor's foot was on the bottom rope. Borga pinned Razor again after [[Shawn Michaels]] hit Razor with a title belt, but the decision was reversed and Borga disqualified.<ref name="owwbio"/><ref name="wwf1993">{{cite web|first=Graham|last=Cawthon|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/93.htm|title=Ring Results: 1993|access-date=2008-01-13|publisher=The History of WWE |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071117080616/http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/93.htm |archive-date = 2007-11-17}}</ref>

On January 17, 1994, Halme injured his ankle in a match with [[Rick Steiner]], forcing the WWF to cancel future plans for the Borga character that included a scheduled appearance at the [[Royal Rumble (1994)|1994 Royal Rumble]] and a proposed [[WrestleMania X]] match against [[John Tenta|Earthquake]], Borga was replaced by [[Bryan Clark|Adam Bomb]] who got crushed in seconds.
