25 Worst Wrestling Moments Of 2020
22. That Rubbish “Doink The Clown” Knock Off
WWE and TKO top brass have a lot on their plate annually. They need to thrash out huge, money-spinning international deals for high ranking PLEs, they need to decide who wins which top championships at any given time, and they're locked into producing countless hours of television every week. Something else should be atop agendas during key meetings though.
Doink The Clown's wig.
No, seriously. If "Doink" ever shows up on screen again, then the promotion badly need to get his hair right for the first time in a long time. A fake knock off clown showed up during the aforementioned 2020 Money In The Bank ladder match held in WWE's old headquarters (Titan Towers), and he looked bloody rubbish.
Even Dink was a better Doink than this Doink. If one's going to Doink, then one must always Doink properly or not Doink at all. Right, that's plenty of that gibberish. You can probably tell that this writer is passionate about Matt Borne's original gimmick, because all subsequent versions of the character (including cameos like this one) have largely tanked or been completely unsatisfying to witness for fans of the creepy clown.
This so-called "Doink" was one of the crappiest moments in a divisive MITB ladder brawl that saw 2 matches going on at the same time. Other cameos from Brother Love, John Laurinaitis, Vince McMahon and more were better placed or at least true to the original characters involved.
This Doink The Clown wannabe wasn't. It was just some WWE staff member with a painted face and rotten green wig. What was the buttoned blue shirt all about?
