Fun facts about Ludwig Borga, real name Tony Halme:

- After his WWF run he returned to Finland where he was a bad professional boxer
- He also joined a right wing party, the True Finns, and ran for parliament on an openly racist and bigoted platform
- He released an autobiography which included a few hundred pages of STDH fan fic about him beating up scores of black people in Spanish and Italian cities after he interrupted them trying to rob or rape decent god-fearing white people
- He had an SS tattoo on his calf, even during his WWF days. They just made him wear tape over it.
- He beat up his partners and ultimately shot himself to death with an illegal gun

If he'd lived he would've been a nailed on WWE hall of famer.

WrestleMania Backlash: Cody beats Miz by countout
Hell in a Cell: Miz forced to wrestle in a cage, beats Cody with help from Maryse who's under the ring
Money in the Bank: Mixed tag, Cody/Brandi go over after 15 heatless minutes, Cody gets on the mic and asks for a real challenger for SummerSlam, HERE COMES THE MONEYYYY HERE COMES THE MONEY, MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY

For the last few years I've been keeping track of match times, average star ratings, etc of Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestlemania and then comparing them. Now that Meltzers star ratings are out for WM I can show off my work:



Meanwhile AEW Revolution total amount of wrestling: 2:41:05 (69%) with an average star rating of 4.08

- When I was a little kid I had to do a big school project on another country and I picked Finland because that was where Ludwig Borga was from and I thought he was a badass.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This Miz is like X Pac back in the day, except the test isn't that if X-Pac can't have a good match with you nobody can, it's if you can have a good match with the Miz you can have a good match with anybody.

Obviously the Miz is the Miz but it seems like in WWE-land he’s treated about as well as any upper midcard act could be if you only factor in the very specific curve you have to grade the show on to land on anything beyond dogshit awful?

Seems like a pretty normal first feud to me, I’ll save my lols for when he’s appearing solely in backstage skits chasing that sweet 24/7 title. So like, June.
