Tony "Viking" Halme found dead.
Former heavy weight boxer, pro wrestler under the alias Ludvig Borga, the guy who played Roman in Die Hard, and former MP for the True Finns party is dead, apparently by his own hand. Tabloids are making a big deal about it, nobody else gives a damn. Why? Because the guy was generally considered a real class-act:
- Making an ear-bleeding cover song about how he's going to beat up people in bars.
- Generally proclaiming himself to be one of the few 'real men' about who don't use drugs - then getting arrested for possession of drugs.
- Possessing and firing an illegal firearm as a result of a family quarrel - and getting elected to the Parliament soon after.
- Acting in Finnish movies that were so bad they didn't last a week in theatres - and tanked in DVD sales.
- Calling the President of Finland a lesbian in his very first speech in Parliament.
I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that this guy might go the way of Michael Jackson; the few news sources that have actually registered his passing seem to just go 'meh' on his old escapades and say he was a nice guy. Schyeah...
Rest in peace, you lumbering windbag.
Halme as his WWF alter ego, Ludvig Borga (1989-1997)
The music video for Halme's single Viikinki. Watch only when heavily sedated to avoid permanent brain damage. And thank God you don't understand the lyrics...
