While many consider the Doink character to be one of the most bizarre characters in WWE history, fans were almost in for something even more interesting. Originally, the character was to be named 'Ploink', which is an onomatopoeia representing the sound of a turd dropping into toilet water. Complications stemming from costume design are what originally turned the character into a much more visceral clown character. The idea was tweaked at a later date and finally made it down the aisle as 'T.L. Hopper'.
EDIT: Yeah, Big Show, since I did Doink too.
