Any wrestling fans who do remember Ludvig Borga probably recall his unique eco-warrior stance as a heel in 1993. Younger fans will be amazed to learn that Borga did this decades before Daniel Bryan, but it didn't really go anywhere or turn him into the top villain Vince McMahon hoped.

Maybe that's because WWF officials were absolutely stunned when they found out that big Ludvig had a Nazi tattoo on his calf.

Jim Ross leaked this news on the latest episode of his 'Grilling JR' podcast. He, just like McMahon and literally everybody else who came into contact with Borga, couldn't believe that he'd get an SS logo inked onto his body and then flagrantly flaunt it on company television.


JR said he was mostly worried about the tatt because it almost seemed like the WWF were "condoning the holocaust" by letting Ludvig sport it on programming. In the end, Borga wound up getting new wrestling boots that covered the incriminating, offensive symbol.

He wouldn't last much longer in the federation anyway; Borga was released from contract in early-1994 whilst rehabbing an ankle injury.
