WWE: 10 Superstars That Prove Wrestling Really Is A Travelling Circus
3. Dink The Clown
What's more terrifying than a clown wrestler? How about a little clown wrestler? Adding to his definitive circus persona, Doink the Clown found himself aided by a miniature version of himself named Dink following a face turn after being betrayed by Jerry "the King" Lawler. Hitting two tropes with one stone, Dink fulfilled the role of a clown as well as a little person, both of which are well-known for appearing throughout carnivals and circuses. At Survivor Series 1994, Dink and Doink would be joined by two more tiny clowns in Wink and Pink to battle Lawler and his small army of little kings in Queazy, Cheezy, and Sleazy. Proving to be quite a popular performer, Dink would unknowingly pave the way for other little people wrestlers who would arrive in WWE decades later and would, like Dink, prove to be mischievous and memorable. "Little People" Honorable Mentions: Hornswoggle, Little Boogie, & El Torito.
