I'm sorry to bump this thread. I really am. The thing is, I remember talking about Doink in the start-up thread for the Worst Themes tournament, and I thought that some people could use a good look at the legend known as Doink.

Doink the Clown WAS the mother fucking man.

OK, see you guys later.

Yeah Doink = Win.

I'm pissed that the version of him in SvR09 is mostly the face version.

Don't they have him aligned has a heel, though?

I'm not sure if he is aligned as a heel but his moveset is mostly face.

He was part of the DLC pack with Earthquake, The Bushwackers, etc.

etc = Vader

I'm still waiting for the Vader Santa's Little Helper attire pack. :naughty:

Anyway, DOINK FOR LIFE. If you disagree, I will hate you forever.

I guess I should go find some Doink videos to justify this. BRB.

That Kamala video is one of the saddest finishes in pro wrestling.

I thought it was beautiful.

Oh wow, I should have watched that video. I was looking for the finishe with the empty gift box.

How did Doink actually go from being the awesome heel evil clown to the regular face with midget clown?

He started getting huge pops from the crowd so they had him start playing pranks on heels, and voila. Watered down as fuck. One Christmas season, Santa Claus stopped by Superstars and awarded Doink a present for being good that year in the form of Dink. I can't really pinpoint when Doink went from Matt Borne to Ray Apollo, but I really wish things would have worked out with Borne. The things that could have been....

makes sense.... I'd love to see it

Have always, and will always love that promo.

I still think Doink could be made a legit threat. Just have him return as face and be gayass face doink for 6 months or so, get him over with kids and shit, then have him team up with a really over babyface against two heels and just have him snap and go evil-clown all over the babyface's ass and the heels too, why not.

Bring back Doink.

Pretty surprised that in the wake of the success of the Dark Knight, Vince didn't try and suit up an "edgy" evil clown gimmick.

Rey Mysterio dressed up like The Joker at Wrestlemania, if that counts.

I found the finish of the Kamala match very entertaining. I've never seen anyone use that kind of chair before.

i remember back when i had a wwf sticker book way back in the day this match was a huge deal because crush got screwed :'(

Screwed? Noooo. Pineapple Head simply was outsmarted by a crafty veteran.

Or two.

Yeah I remember I was pissed when I saw that because I was a huge Crush mark, but now I look at it and laugh.

This thread is awesome but I legit got neg rep from someone claiming Doink isn't in SvR09 lol.

Wow, who would do such a thing? It better not have been Diesel Mac. I'll sort him out for you.

I think this thread should be bumped once a year so we can always remember Doink. I'm gonna watch all of those videos RIGHT NOW.

I love how they would just casually show him in the crowd and pass him off as a big fan. They'd show him like ONCE in the crowd, and you wouldn't hear about him for the rest of the show. I had NO idea he'd eventually be a wrestler.

december 6 is now the doinkaversary

I like the sound of that.

I would LOVE to see Doink (Matt Borne) and Goldust be a heel tag team together for a few matches on RAW. Matt still wrestles on the indy circut, and has been clean for awhile. I dont think PG TV would allow an evil clown's sinister pranks and The Bizarre One's quasi-sexual mind games, but we can always hope.


Side Note, I'm glad Goldust isnt doing that stupid studdering gimmick anymore and is alittle more heelish.

i met doink at an icw wrestling show in Ft Huachuca Arizona (stole a sign, and noticed they spelled wrestling wrong, spelled it wresling) anywho, i doubt it was the real doink, but it was doink none the less, the show also had the patriot and the barbarian (who was wearing his wcw shirt) i think this was back in 2000. i suppose there is no point to this story, other then meeting some type of doink, lol
