I've always said if Vince and creative had put more effort into the character and Matt had been able to behave himself more outside the ring. This could've been one of the 10 best heel gimmicks of all time. Also. Little known fact... Road Warrior Hawk came up with the evil clown idea and pitched it to Matt and Vince
I'm glad I got to grow up in an awesome era of watching the WWF, 80's and 90's. Doink should have been in the Hall Of Fame a long time ago and he truly was a cool character and great addition to the company. Much respect and may he R.I.P. with all the other greats that are gone but never forgotten
I mean when doink came in he had some programs with Crush, macho man and Mr. Perfect and did quite well until after SummerSlam then turned face shortly after then Bourne was replaced but it was never the same after the first 6 months he is certainly remember during that era from WM 9- to about 10 after the Bigalow fied I can't remember him doink anything aside from being in video games but if Bourne continued the gimmick I could see him working with Razor and Tatanka
If anyone brought a bit of the Joker and John Wayne Gacy's clown Pogo too life in the world of pro wrestling. It was Matt Borne. Excellent job from his entrance music, promos, smiles to wickedly maniacal faces. To also being one helluva in ring worker. It's a character that could have gone A LOT further and even stood the test of time today with it's relevancy. Had Matt not succumb too his personal demons. RIP Matt what you accomplished with this character will NEVER be forgotten.
0:32 Seeing Bruce Hart get that full in the face with Owen stood next to him, who planned it all with Matt Bourne, does bring a genuine grin to my face.
I feel like Doink could've been more interesting if he was introduced in the Attitude Era. Would’ve made him into a darker figure like how they utilized Gangrel's vampire gimmick.
He was the best during a time in wwe everything was gimmick gimmick gimmick and stupid. He was interesting. And I actually liked him. He was Joker and Pennywise in WWF but he was his own thing. It takes someone special to make a clown a heel, and a great heel at that. The late great Matt (Os)Bourne! Live on forever, legend
Great video! Very well put together. :) I was an avid fan back during this period. Fun fact... you do have one Steve Keirn (rather than Matt Borne) solo clip in there. I wasn't sure if you were aware of that. :) The one at 2:55 with the umbrella.
The problem here is that Doink The Clown is a WWE product that was portrayed by MANY wrestlers. Basically, if Doink was inducted into the Hall of Fame, it's pretty much just a matter of inducting the gimmick and NOT any actual wrestler... 🤡
Or win the wwe title to further establish himself,it's a shame doink turned into a babyface,it killed his momentum and even jobbed to the likes of owen hart,jeff jarrett,waylon mercy and triple h(known back then as hunter hearst helmsley)
Because matt borne wasn't known for his run as a face and in my opinion, Doink was ruined when he turned face. also Matt Borne wasn't playing Doink when he was face
@@The_Demolition_Icon He did play the face version for the first month or two until he got fired. From what I've read, he wasn't happy about the face turn, and then later got fired for his drug use. Turning that character face was one of the worst decisions that Vince and company ever made, in my opinion. The heel clown was much more edgy and interesting. In any event, excellent video! Great job putting all these clips together! As a previous commenter noted, there is one Steve Keirn clip in there, but most people wouldn't realize that anyway. :)
Doink was a great wrestler had a lot of charisma very entertaining

I didn't know Matt Borne had passed away, one of the most unique and memorable gimmicks in wrestling history.
RIP Doink! 🤡❤️
Matt should be in the Hall of Fame for his contribution and professionalism he brought to this character...RIP Matt...
This was awesome. I always and still love Doink The Clown to this day. RIP Matt Borne no one portrayed Doink better than you.
Guy should of been a bigger star... He was a great wrestler actually.

Absolutely outstanding work on this. Always loved This version of Doink
Thank you for the lovely comment.

What kind of a clown makes kids cry!??? .. “Doink” 😂😂😂😂
Bro whoever did this video edit 👍 a good homage to one of my favorite wrestlers!
Appreciate it

Borne again 💪😎👍
Matt Borne aka Doink the Clown was unique and awesome professional wrestler
This video is great coming from another Klown myself. R.I.P original Doink he's a legend in my opinion

Doink clearly deserves to be in the hall of fame.
Matt Borne's Doink the Clown was a cross between Roddy Piper and Krusty the Clown!
Doink was the best 🤡🤡🤡
Doink brah! Makin the kids cry brah! R.I.P. to the mad clown himself
Doinck RIP🤡
Awesome job well put together!!
Thank you for the support
This was GREAT

I wasn't aware but thank you for letting me know. I thought Steve Keirn only played Doink at WrestleMania 9.
Lol was watching this at 3 am, it creeped me out a bit

The only word I have is perfect!!! Amazing job
Thank You for the kind words
Aqui no Brasil tinha o palhaco lutador coringa 7 dos gigantes do ring passava na record anos 80
still, the evil doink was genius - and they turned him face and made him a joke....
Legend
Doink was a mixture of It and The Joker😮

Best wrestler ever! But only when performed by Matt Borne
Heel Doink Matt Bourne best. Sadly his stint cut short.. all other Doinks thereafter crap
Rip Matt borne
Don't know why i did this to myself, gonna have nightmares tonight lol. Very well done video though. Kudos
You can't say I didn't warn you 🤣
Do you have doink The clown vs Leroy Howard or Leroy Howard vs Jean Paul Levesque or Jim Dugan amm vs Leroy Howard
Since Matt Borne badly beat his wife, he will never be allowed in the Hall of Fame.
its a shame really. ive always been a massive fan of borne as doink
Pysotic Clown of Wrestling
Why WWE didn't make an official tribute video?
Matt Bornes family sued WWE over his death.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Maybe you could add the evil doink theme for a second video
I love it........just kidding...no really I love it
I think he could’ve been a main eventer and main evented a Wrestlemania and have the theme of Wrestlemania be circus themed. Hey, think about it!
Or win the wwe title to further establish himself,it's a shame doink turned into a babyface,it killed his momentum and even jobbed to the likes of owen hart,jeff jarrett,waylon mercy and triple h(known back then as hunter hearst helmsley)
Why did they only show him as a heel? They should've shown him as a face too in the tribute.
Because matt borne wasn't known for his run as a face and in my opinion, Doink was ruined when he turned face. also Matt Borne wasn't playing Doink when he was face
@@The_Demolition_Icon Oh gotcha. I forgot he didn't play face Doink. My apologies 😊
@@Alexandria87 that's ok.

I hate clowns =\
Along with jake roberts and cactus jack, doink was my one favourite. I never liked hogan or warrior
I know its against kayfabe rules but I preferred the villians than the hero's.
@@The_Demolition_Icon next June will be 10 years since he passed away. He was one of the greatest
booooo
