yes, he was the man. And no, please do not bring back heel Doink because heel Doink was nothing without Borne behind the makeup. The guy was perfect for the whole. He was an old school veteran at that time working a lot of the territories before and he understood pyscology. Nobody expected the character to get over like it did. Borne took a stupid clown gimmick and turned it into something with multiple dimensions. When you watch the match, look at all the little things Matt does before, during and after the match. I loved how he would smile and laugh walking down the isle and then when he got real close to the camera, he would stare you right in the face with that evil grin.
Borne was tremendous. Unfortunately, he was so good that the fans started cheering him and that was it. Well that and his drug habits.
The Classic Superstars line is releasing the Heel Doink figure as part of the next lineup btw
