RIP Doink the Clown

He was the best doink but there are other versions still alive like Ray Apollo who took over when Osborne got fired.

RIP Osborne

gold dust was amazing, the gold dust razor ramon saga was probably the hardest i've ever laughed in my life, granted i was like 8 years old

There were so many bad gimmicks in the mid 90's, Duke the Dumpster Drosey and Mantaur have to the some of the worst ones. The guy who did IRS returns was horrible too.

**daneblazer** · 06-29-13, 01:29 PM

The WCW had the worst gimmicks of them all

**hugh_morris** · 06-29-13, 02:01 PM

how about in the early 90's when the wwf had that stupid fukkin' chicken that came out of the egg..the googly gooker or whatever it's name was...it was right around that doink era....ridiculous story lines in that time...peace

I remember that. They say Pat Patterson came up with it and most of the horrible 90's gimmicks. Originally Undertaker was supposed to come out of the egg but they scrapped that idea.

Dude was awesome. I remember when he would hide under the ring. RIP

**LordVodka** · 06-29-13, 03:31 PM

He would hide under the ring and a new one would come out.

**Sledge187** · 06-29-13, 03:53 PM

Doink the Clown started the fall of the WWF before the come back.

Him and Barry Windam were a pretty decent tag team..

Would be nice to have a Doink tribute at Summer Slam

**Mr KLC** · 06-30-13, 07:39 AM

He'll always be Matt Borne to me. He was a member of the "Rat Pack" in the old Mid South Wrestling promotion with Ted DiBiase and Hacksaw Duggan. Its just a shame he couldn't cut it when the promotions went national. RIP Matt

Watch the whole match but especially 2:50, 9:10, and 18:25 marks....I remember watching this in like 6th or 7th grade....pretty much like this the whole time

I vaguely remember the Doink the Clown era but I was really young and didn't follow it much.....really got into wrestling from like 97-2001....the WCW and WWF Monday Night wars era, the golden age

Haven't followed wrestling since then but damn I loved it back then

**hankcream** · 07-01-13, 10:50 PM

RIP Doink, hopefully little Doink is still alive.

**plankton43** · 07-03-13, 08:04 PM

He played Evil Doink perfectly, and he was highly underrated technical wrestler. RIP. Matt Osborne.

**stevenash** · 07-03-13, 08:43 PM

His father was a good wrestler too

That was a Pat Patterson gimmick. He came up with it. It's basically the red kock.

**LordVodka** · 07-03-13, 10:11 PM

Is that true about Virgil? Where did you hear that?

**Mr KLC** · 07-03-13, 10:11 PM

Here's your next star, if he can work on his dialogue. The kid definitely has his father's athleticism.
