Pretty sure Matt Osborne & Ray Apollo were the two guys who played Doink the longest.

I always thought that Barry Darsaw had played him for a while but probably wrong on that

Matt Borne was a psychotic genius as Doink. Everyone else failed in comparison.

Could of sworn Jericho dressed as Doink once. He did. To ambush William Regal. Jeff Jarrett also played him to pull pranks on Dink. And Men on a Mission & the Bushwhackers did at the 1994 Survivor Series. |

Matt Borne was a psychotic genius as Doink. Everyone else failed in comparison. So true, this was a case, where you couldn't beat the original. And then the twist on it, when he went to ECW, and became Borne Again, was great. I don't think Matt Borne gets the amount of credit he deserves in the business. |

Doink was such a cool gimmick. While none are as good as the original I was always a fan of Doink

Could of sworn Jericho dressed as Doink once. He did and a drugged up HBK backstage kept bitching to Jericho that they shouldn't have made him Doink. I think Vinnie Mac fired him that night. |

Haha, yeah Jericho confirms that in his book. He was backstage all painted up like Doink for that segment when HBK stumbled over. Shawn thought he was taking over the Doink gimmick. Jericho had to repeatedly keep telling him that it was just a one-time thing, but Shawn was so loaded on whatever that he couldn't understand. After all the back and forth, Shawn walks away and says something like "They never should have made you Doink." 😂 Very glad HBK cleaned up and salvaged his life, but I'll always think that story is hilarious. Back to the topic, it was a mistake to turn Doink face at the end of summer 1993. That character worked well and got over because of how ridiculous Matt played up the evil, crazy clown character. |

The upcoming Doink in the Mattel Elite Heartbreak Hotel Series- Is that a specific Doink or a general, WWE Doink?
