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. |

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

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

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....

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.

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

Was gonna make a thread about Doink but figured I'd check for one first. I've spent the last hour or 2 watching all the footage of him from his TV debut playing pranks, through his first TV match up until he wrestled Bossman a few weeks after he attacked Crush, so ridiculously good. With wrestling the way it is nowadays, I doubt we'll ever see a character built so slowly and brilliantly again. I mean, it was over 2 months before they revealed a name for him and 3 months before he even wrestled on TV. Glorious. If you're one of those people that never really saw Doink/just assumed it was a shit gimmick because it's a clown in wrestling, you really should watch the vids.

And I posted the guys account in the 100,000 replies thread but there are a bunch of amazing videos, feud/story recaps from mostly 1992, stuff like Bret's first title reign, Warrior/Shango, some immense Flair/Perfect promos in the Warrior/Savage Summerslam 92 build and a bunch more. Literally been sitting here for the last 3-4 hours watching vids on his account.

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.

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
