R.I.P. Doink
Matt Borne/Osbourne, the original Doink, was found dead this morning. 57 years old.
Paraphrased from PWInsider. ------------ Really sucks, guy was crazy talented. ![]() |

sad to hear this
Matt Borne was a good worker and highly underrated. I loved his tag team work with the late Buzz Sawyer. |

I don't think I ever saw him in a match.

awful news
quite often hear "so and so would have accomplished this if he'd been born 20-30 years earlier", this guy would probably have been better off being born 20-30 years later since wrestling nowadays isn't half the "drug and booze" culture that is used to be. On par with guys like Punk, Ambrose, Pillman etc in terms of those guys with "edgy" and believable personalities, could have been a millionaire.

Had a lot of history in the old Portland territory.
His run in Mid-South as a member of The Rat Pack is great too. |

Awful news
RIPEven though WWE has had other people play Doink, I wonder if they'll officially "retire" the character going forward out of respect |

Didn't this guy wrestle at the first Wrestlemania? Pretty sweet claim to fame that no one remembers because you're a clown.

Also, his feud with Bam Bam and Luna was pretty much the only time I ever cared about Bam Bam. Yeah I know Bam Bam was skilled as fuck and all but nothing he ever did ever really pulled me in other than that.

He was the WWE's Joker/Pennywise/Bozo lovechild toy.
TMZ stated that the police are having homicide investigation but no weapons were found. Autopsy still processing the deathly cause. |

one of my favs of all-time when he portrayed Doink. He'll be featured a lot on the Mid South DVD too I believe as part of the Rat Pack. Never got to see any of their work so I am looking forward to it.
He stole the show as Doink and his mannerisms and promos were amazing. he took a ridiculous character and made it work perfectly. love watching WrestleMania 9 just for his promo and match. |

Was just watching this match. Nothing special, fun little match, but the highlight of course is Bobby Heenan on commentary
