I give Matt Borne a 8.5 for his working ability and characters during WCW and such. I give him a 9 for his portrayal of Doink, and really sticking with it to make it work. Also, Borne Again was classic.

Also, props to him for cleaning up his life and taking care of his kids and such.

Final Rating: 9

[Loose Cannon]

Matt Borne as Doink the Clown was grade A quality shit. He played the character about as perfectly as you can play an evil clown. Borne was the man and knew psycology.

8.5

[Volchok]

9.. i really dont think they could have gotten anyone better for it...

[Savio]

I Think its funny John Got a low score when him and Randy are the same to me although Randy is Being pushed fast.

[CosaNostra]

I can't believe DOINK (literally a fucking CLOWN) is, so far, receiving a higher score than, for example Ric Flair, Raven, Ultimo Dragon, British Bulldog, Kane, Jushin Lyger, or Christian.

Higher than Ric Flair.........for fuck sakes......... :nono:

Please believe, Doink was the shit back in the WWF Superstars days. His psychology was perfect in and out of the ring. If all the wrestlers in WWE had half his hold over the crowd, 5 star matches would be an everyday thing.

Ring ability: 8.5
Overness: 8.5
Work rate: 10
Politics: N/A
Mic skill: 10
Overall rank: 9.3 (rounded)

Not going to go into detail with Doink's points. All around great worker.

just cause he was a funny character

[Afterlife]

Borne's Doink (What I call "The Real Doink") was my first favorite character. The inring was well over par and just the showmanship of the character itself was amazing. It's sad that three other people had to ruin a great thing.

[Kapoutman]

Wrestling: 7
Work rate: 9
Charisma/Mic Skills: 8
Entertainment: 8

Overall: 8

This is for Borne's all around career by the way. Not only for Doink.

I've heard that Nick Dinsmore played A version of Doink in the APA Barroom Brawl Invitational (or whatever it was called). Does anyone know if this is true?

Well lets see. You gave Ultimo Dragon an overall rank of 9.5 and Doink The Clown a 9.3

Is Doink The Clown in the same league as Ultimo Dragon? :D :p

9.5 I dont think that 2 by molly fan should count a f*n 2??? Doink the character is a legend. I still remember the crush/Doink match that began the mirror image of Doink.

[Afterlife]

I've heard that Nick Dinsmore played A version of Doink in the APA Barroom Brawl Invitational (or whatever it was called). Does anyone know if this is true?
From what I understand, WWE contacted Borne about the Gimmick Battle Royal, but for whatever reason, Borne didn't do it last minute, and that was Nick Dinsmore. The Barroom Brawl was Also Nick, but Doink's next appeance, when Rhyno sent him out to fight Benoit, was Rob Conway.

(Too much abuse of a good character... :nono: )

[BigDaddyCool]

You know you have 18 wrestlers in the top 10?

It should look like this:

Current Top 10 Leaderboard
1.Bret Hart, Kurt Angle (96)
3. Owen Hart (95)
4. Brian Pillman, Shawn Michaels (92)
6. Chris Jericho, Sting, Curt Henning (91)
9. Ricky Steamboat (90)
10. AJ Styles (89)

Also, I never saw Doink, so no rating for him.

[Loose Cannon]

I swear, the only reason I ever put in WM 9 is for the Doink Interview and the match. Good stuff. Doink looked like such a coakhead clown that takes a job at traveling carnivals back then.

[LK]

Evil Doink was brilliant. I give Borne a 7 for his portrayal of the character.

[Mister Sinister]

sorry no big review for Doink from me today, since I'm busy building my website...

7.9 For Borne's Doink

[Ferocious]

Straight 9 from me for my favourite gimmick ever.

[Funky Fly]

Well lets see. You gave Ultimo Dragon an overall rank of 9.5 and Doink The Clown a 9.3

Is Doink The Clown in the same league as Ultimo Dragon? :D :p
Wrestling wise, it's like comparing Shelton Benjamin or Charlie Hass to Bret Hart or Kurt Angle. WGTT are good, but it doesn't get better than Bret or Kurt. Ultimo is a better wrestler, but Doink was way more over in his time. It's really not Ultimo's fault because he gets pretty good reactions when he's on Smackdown, but he's been getting shit booking.

I hate Clowns

So because you hate clowns, this is a reflection on Matt Borne as a wrestler. :nono:

A 9 from me, when I was younger I was enthralled by him.

[Gone Mad]

8.5! He was a fun character and had green hair. That was good enough for me when I was a kid.
