It's really quite surprising that it wasn't until 1992 that an evil clown wrestler debuted in the World Wrestling Federation. So, when Doink the Clown finally arrived on the scene in 1992, playing pranks on fans and wrestlers alike, the crowd was more than ready to root against this heel in face's clothing.
Doink has been involved in some important matches and memorable feuds over the years. He defeated Crush (with help from a second Doink) at WrestleMania IX, feuded with Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Jerry Lawler and more; a pretty impressive resume for a children's entertainer.
Doink the Clown has been portrayed by many different wrestlers over the years, primarily and originally by Matt Borne (who fought Ricky Steamboat at the first WrestleMania). Later on, Smash, Skinner and the Brooklyn Brawler took turns underneath the clown makeup; more recently, the wrestler known as Eugene put on the costume.
But the person underneath isn't what matters, because nobody cares who you are on the inside. It's your outward appearance that makes you a superstar. Remember that, kids.
