During his original run Doink the Clown was played by Matt Borne and is one of the most severely underrated wrestlers of his era. Both in terms of his gimmick and his work in the ring, Borne had something special with Doink. Originally a nefarious clown who played practical jokes that always became a bit too cruel, Doink was eventually played as a comedy gimmick by the less talented Ray Apollo. Make no mistake though, Doink started out as an evil prick that would make children cry. Much like the character he portrayed Borne had personal demons of his own, and his drug use would lead to him getting fired from the WWF. I considered making Doink a duo with his midget sidekick Dink, but this was after Apollo took over the gimmick and he became a watered down fan favorite. I wanted to capture the surprisingly disturbing Doink of Matt Borne, who we can see here in one of his great lost matches against Mr. Perfect.
