Damn... Always thought Brock Lesnar was a wannabe (bootleg?) Ludvig Borga.
May you find peace now, Tony...

If he did commit suicide, then that's really unfortunate to hear. I still have his one and only figure MOC. I'm sure the price will go up now unfortunately.
R.I.P. Tony Halme

very sad, he had spent the last few years of his life very troubled indeed. I didn't know he was in Die Hard with a vengence!

He was a scary dude when I was a youngster. Wrestling seems to have so little professional competitors (compared to other "sports"),yet has the highest death rate it seems, either that or you just don't hear about NFL or MLB or any other major sports players dying so much. It's sad really, most of these guys probably would of been alive and well if they hadn't decided to start a wrestling career.

Damn... Always thought Brock Lesnar was a wannabe (bootleg?) Ludvig Borga. May you find peace now, Tony... Especially as Halme fought in the UFC several years before Brock. (His one appearance was a loss. to Randy Couture who fought Tony in his debut) I remember him when he came into WWF & expected big things from him but like a lot of guys it just didn't pan out RIP
