On a recent edition of his “Something to Wrestle” podcast, WWE executive Bruce Prichard noted that he would’ve put the WWE Championship on Doink The Clown if he had the creative power to do so.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Doink the Clown: “I would have put the championship on Doink. I loved him being a heel champ and it was my way then you would do the undefeated streak and it would still be going on today.”
On the wrestlers who portrayed Doink: “Even when Matt Osborne passes away, but you don’t replace him with any of the other dudes they replaced him with, you do holograms, man. You make it real. … The only Doink that was worth a s**t other than obviously Matt Bourne was Steve Keirn. Steve was excellent as Doink. The rest of them just fit the outfit.”
Several wrestlers have portrayed Doink The Clown over the years with the late Matt Osborne playing the original act.
