One of the more interesting aspects of the Doink persona is that multiple performers went under the paint in order to portray the character. Obviously, this mainly happened once Matt Osborne left the promotion, but fascinatingly, another man played Doink whilst Osborne was still under contract. Steve Keirn would take on the mantle of Doink once his predecessor left, but it wasn't uncommon for Doink to be in two places at the same time. The WWF were still running multiple house shows on the same night in 1993, and on occasion, whilst Osborne was hamming it up as the clown in one town, Keirn would be doing the same in another. Simply put, wrestling fans who attended live events during this time period may not have been seeing the original character, but instead someone else acting the part. That's unique to the Doink gimmick, and not something fans see with many other grapplers.
