Ranking Every WWE DOINK From Worst To Best

9. The Bushwhackers

Jeff Jarrett Doink

Vince McMahon donated one of his most recent gimmicks to one of his most ancient-feeling when he slapped the Doink wig and paint on The Bushwhackers at Survivor Series 1993.

Luke and Butch were in their late-40s (and felt even older as characters) when they were given the wigs and face paint as part of a match that had a certain unique charm in the planning stages. Then the execution rendered it one of the all time WWE duds.

It had been a year of multiple Doinks thanks to the clown using the device to hassle Crush. Like everything else about the act, that element was knackered when he turned babyface, but the company persisted anyway. New rival Bam Bam Bigelow and his team were set to take on four of them in a Survivor Series match.

Or zero, as it turned out, because "Doink" now just meant having that clown face and being an insufferable c*nt. Which is what The Bushwhackers were in this abysmal festival of gross-out comedy and p*ss-weak pro wrestling.

This wasn't just a burial of the out-of-date New Zealanders, but of their brand new buddies on the night too...
