Stacy Keibler Says She Wants To Return & WWE Ignored Her

— As noted earlier today here on the website, Tony Halme, who wrestled under his real name with New Japan Pro Wrestling in the early nineties, and as Ludvig Borga for the World Wrestling Federation from 1993 to 1994, passed away last night in his native country of Finland. No details are available regarding his cause of death. He was 47 years old. Halme was a former member of the Finnish Parliament, representing the True Finns party. He was also known by the pseudonym Viikinki he used while appearing on the Finnish version of the television game show American Gladiators (Gladiaattorit). Though he is best known for his appearances in the WWF under the name Ludvig Borga, he was also an MMA fighter and professional boxer who held the Finnish Heavyweight Championship. In a trivia note, he was Randy Couture’s first-ever opponent. On May 30, 1997, Couture won the match via choke in 57 seconds. Halme retired from athletics in March 2003 in order to pursue a career in politics. He celebrated his 47th birthday this past Wednesday.

— In a recent article with SI.com, Stacy Keibler and Maria Menounos previewed the Ravens-Patriots playoff game today. Discussion turned to Keibler possibly returning to WWE. Here is what she had to say about the possibility… It’s funny because I actually went to them when they were in my hometown of Baltimore a little while ago and they completely ignored me. Then, probably a month later, my publicist called them again and they said “Oh, we would love to have her” and they gave us some dates, but it didn’t work around my schedule. So maybe in the future if the timing is right, but right now there no plans to do it. But it would be so much fun to walk out and feel that energy again and be around my fans. I would absolutely love to do it.”
