Watched document on finnish tv of Tony Halme and it showed short view of match of Ludwig Borga & ? vs Haku & Earthquake. Haku was biting Tonys cheek etc, it looked very violent and bloody match. Could not find it from youtube..Anyone remembers this? In Japan
Halme was an incredibly adversarial and racist person. Even back home in Finland his comments and behaviour were divisive. After his martial arts career, the main nationalist populist party recruited him to rake conservative and far right votes for parliament. Prior to this he was supposed to embark on a lucrative career in Japan, but was dumb enough to hurl derogative and racist remarks towards Haku before the match began. He'd been doing it in WWF already, but mostly in Finnish, so few people knew what he was saying. This time, unaware of how dangerous Haku was, he did it in English, and made it clear in general posturing as well. They decided to teach him a grim lesson, and his career in Japan was over before it began. He never learned his lesson, and kept the same jargon going when transitioning to boxing. All his pre-fight taunts towards black fighters was based on some form of racism. In the end, his boxing career tanked, and finally his life as well.
