Could the grungy ECW/Indy version of Doink the Clown/Matt Borne work on the E today?

[Nintendough]

Nope, because of this selective PG era. Sorry to deny you of the chance to say that for daps bro.



Outside of the PG when its conventient wave thats been going on for the last few years. A good psycho heel never fails. Some of those shorties would be legit afraid of him. Especially those who fear clowns. Imagine Borne slapping Sheamus, putting the doink mask on him to show he conquered him and going off on a crazed rant.














Matt Borne




When he stopped calling himself Doink he would still use the mask for psychological purposes. It made him seem like a nutcase who was trying to break free from the Doink character but couldn't.


Here are some clips with one of his old themes.

Like dude said earlier, the evil clown gimmick can always work...

However

1) I recently watched Doink live at an indy show wrestling my homeboy's brother and dude is something terrible. Before the show he was standing right next to me (not in gear) and I was just like

2) With characters like The Joker, It, Ronald McDonald , and even Doink, you'd need someone special to create something that separates himself from the rest of the pack to carve their own legacy

3) If you do bring Bourne back, he'd be a DARK ring-leader, just not an in-ring performer for the majority of his run
