I am so sure and confident about that nobody remembers Ludvig Borga from 1993. He was planned to be a champion, but unfortunately his career ended due injury before the title match. He had some matches with Yokozuna as a duo and Fought against Lex Luger if i am right. He even had a match against Razor Ramon and it was a intercontinental match and beat him but the win got denied because Razor's leg was on the rope so the match kept going. And Borga won again but it got denied again and in the end Razor won the match. He also fought in UFC which wasn't succesful at all but he was first Finn to ever fight in UFC. Borga also was In couple of movies in small roles for example Die Hard (1995). and Lionheart (1990) Ludvig Borga also appeared in adversiments in usa. like Tea, bear and pizzas. Ludvig Borga, which real name is Tony Halme was really famous in Finland of course in many ways. Unfortunately he killed himself in 2010 with his gun. He is an huhe isnpiration to me as a Finn like me. Sorry for not the best english. I just wanted to tell you something about my idol :)

@@aaronlecklider1378 If somebody does make a video on this subject I would like to see them cover what these women who floated in and out of WCW/WWF did outside the united states, I mean let's be honest here if you wanted good women's wrestling in the 90's you were better off with Japan or Mexico then whatever America had to offer at the time, especially in the early 90's, I'm not saying we didn't have good wrestlers but there are so many women who never got their due because simply don't take about them, like the only time we ever talk about Bull Nakano is when were talking about Alundra Blayze and that's a shame because she's amazing too. In regards to Chyna it's about damn time, too bad she's being inducted in a group as opposed to by herself but I'll take what I can get.

I remember a guy in wwf called "just joe". His concept was actually a really funny and good idea. He'd be in the back and warn a lot of the higher up guys about rumors swirling around. His catch phrase was "you know, the boys are saying..." it would drive a lot of guys nuts because they'd act like they didn't care, and then get angry and be all "OK!!! WHAT ARE THE BOYS SAYING?!!!" then when he'd tell them, it would make them all pissed and he'd say "don't get mad at me, I'm just joe". I actually thought this was genius. You knew he'd never be a main eventer, but for what the wwf and main, top guys needed to push them more, the gimmick was great. He had a couple matches where he performed as a solid lower mid carder, it was such a perfect fit for him and the company.

I remember Ice Train, Road Block, Akira Hokuto. Akira Hokuto outside of WCW has had 5 star matches with Manami Toyota in Japan and is married to Kensuki Susaki. Only thing cool about Road Block was his theme. Ice Train had a pretty good run in wcw, the last thing he did in 2000 was he was the limo driver for certain members of The New Blood.

Thats exactly how I remember him by. He was a beast! But sadly he had to lose to the owner of the promotion Carlos Colon which is what started to made me realize that wrestling was fake. Even though Puerto Rico were among the first companies to do hardcore matches.
