Clownin’ Around: Findin’ Humor in the Misfortune of Others (Part 3)
This series is displaying the debut of one of the best heels i wrestling history, Doink The Clown. Played by Matt Borne, his run as Doink was one of my favorites. Here are a series of events where Doink made an appearance in his debut, before his name “Doink” was not mentioned until later. 1. December 19, 1992 – The Big Bossman vs. Barry Hardy. After the bout, Doink the Clown tripped up Bossman as he made his way backstage by using a wire he had tied between the guardrails. 2. WWF Tag Team Champions Ted Dibiase & IRS (w/ Jimmy Hart) vs. Chris Hahn & Laverne McGill. Doink the Clown was shown in the crowd. 3. December 20, 1992 – The Headshrinkers (w/ Afa) vs. Matt Williams & Dave Morgan. During the bout, Doink the Clown was shown in the crowd. 5. The Nasty Boys vs. Chris Allen & Gus Kantarakis. Doink the Clown – who watched the match from the aisle – gave the Nastys two presents – replicas of the WWF Tag Team Titles, which they gave to ringside fans and a photograph of Money Inc. & Jimmy Hart. 6. December 26, 1992 – Bob Backlund vs. Barry Horowitz. During the bout, Doink the Clown was shown in the aisle with a mop. 7. Tatanka vs. Bret Tyler. After the match, Doink the Clown stuck a mop in Tatanka’s eye when he turned around to walk away from him. On a side note, you got to love how well Jerry Lawler and Bobby Heenen work together on the commentary.

It was and it hurt a lot of potential main eventers.
couldn’t agree more.
this was a bad but doing his thing
owen hart would have made a great doink…. he was a ribbing genious and he loved his fans too!! he would have pulled it off….
Which is a big shame.
the wwe dont have any good bad guys anymore
Now those are the guys that needs to be in the hall of fame of today.
i like Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Razor, Ultimate Warrrior, Sting, Ernest Miller
It could of Doink only stayed heel, I like mostly odd and dark wrestlers like Undertaker, Sting, Jeff Hardy, The Brood, The New Brood and etc. I have a list of them on my channel if you feel like checking it out.
doink against da deadman would have been great! doink was the man! what wrestlers do you like?
That was dream feud that I wanted to happen at the time. Doink vs Undertaker. Would of been a lot better then The Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez. An evil clown should of been a IC Champion.
I would have had Doink taking on all the big names like The Undertaker, Bret Hart and anybody u can think of. An evil clown is a hell of a gimmick and he would have been a hell of an IC cHAMP.
It’s a big shame on how the WWE went to. They need to get their crap together or they will no longer have fans.
the wwe dont even have good bad guys anymore!
You got that right.
this was the good old dayz
This was also a PG era, but in my opinion, the thing that made this PG era so well liked were the outstanding gimmicks (like Doink the Evil Clown, Undertaker, Yokozuna, etc.), great , and memorable exchanges by commentators. I think, and this is just an opinion so please dont give me crap, if gimmicks were brought back and writers had… well… a good amount of imagination, WWE would actually be worth watching. Personally, I think a Doink heel return would do WWE some good.
what i loved about these doink scenes is we get to see how crappy all the old jobbers were lol
I think they did an amazing job with this series of vignettes. They don’t know who the hell this damn clown is & just how he keeps popping up. What is he doing here?? If only they would do this with new wrestlers right now I think that it would really boost the WWE’s viewership. Basically people would tell their friends, “Hey there’s there’s this weird clown that keeps appearing & causing confusion.” Then it creates a ripple effect with friends telling friends telling friends! It’s genuis! XD
LOL @ the big boss man lookin directly at the rope before he fell
so thats jeff and matts dad huh
Bossman took his hand off at two! What biased officiating!
Ah, the good old days.
Also, lmao at 0:21. That fucking kid. “err…derp thumbs up guise
