That's a shame, RIP.

Texted a bunch of people that Doink died and more than one person replied, "the wrestler?" Apparently people know multiple Doinks of varying professions.

It says more about you than them. What are you doing with your life that your friends assume you might be referring to more than one Doink?

 

[Edwardo]

That's too bad RIP Doink

 

[Data West]

Is Crush still alive?

No. Brian Adams died a while ago.

Adam Bomb is still alive though

 

[Ovid]

No. Brian Adams died a while ago.

Adam Bomb is still alive though

Whenever an old school wrestler dies, a piece of my childhood died along with them.

 

[F#A#Oo]

No. Brian Adams died a while ago.

Adam Bomb is still alive though

Wut! I used to love Crush!

 

[Deleted member 57681]

So he went with a TDK-Joker gimmick in recent years?

Welp.

Loved Doink as a kid, had a super creepy poster in my room. RIP

 

[Amagon]

RIP

 

[sangreal]

Someone update the list

 

[dream]

So what did he OD on?

 

[Nokagi]

Well shit. Now who's going to break the news to Dink? =(

 

[LQX]

Wow, I thought Jerry Lawler was Doink. R.I.P

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Well shit. Now who's going to break the news to Dink? =(

And Pink. And Wink.

 

[Darth Sonik]

I remember Doinks run, it was amazing how far they took what was a lame gimmick.

RIP.

 

[friskykillface]

Doink no RIP
I actually never saw Doink wrestle but I played the wwf game on snes and loved using Doink

 

[Rewrite]

A true shame. RIP Doink.

 

[Narag]

Damn, I was just reading his wiki page the other day and reminiscing about that era.

 

[MaverickHunterX]

RIP

 

[Lee Chaolan]

RIP

Loved this game. RIP Doink.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Genuinely sorry to hear that. I've never been a wrestling guy, but I always had a soft spot for him and Irwin R Shyster the evil accountant as the most endearingly ludicrous wrestlers. They were fun.

 

[Dog Problems]

I loved him and Dink together. Rest in peace.

Same. man the halcyon days of 90's wwf/e

 

[Carnby]

Heel Doink

Sal "Nightwolf!!" Divita to his left as well.

Really? I thought it was the dad from Blossom. Huh...

 

[NomarTyme]

RIP

One of the best snes game.

I'm actually surprised at how many of these guys are still alive, which says a lot.

Wow thats pretty crazy. Half of them are gone

 

[Carnby]

Wow thats pretty crazy. Half of them are gone

Have you ever seen Razor Ramon's ending? He pretty much becomes an alcoholic after losing the WWF title.

 

[Dysun]

Royal Rumble was my favorite game, played it so much

 

[dream]

I'm actually surprised at how many of these guys are still alive, which says a lot.

I dunno. Razor's always one Soma away from death, and Lex Luger probably wishes he was dead.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

That's a shame. May he rest in peace.

 

[Big-E]

Wonder who is going to be the last 90s era wrestler to die. Seems every year on more bites the dust.

 

[adj_noun]

Not Doink! Man, heel Doink plus Bobby Heenan on commentary adding to the whole thing really worked for me.

RIP.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Didn't even know there were ending this game was just too damn hard for me to finish. One mistake ONE MISTAKE and your dead.

 

[sonikokaruto]

He's the reason I became a wrassler, and he taught me that any gimmick can take you far

 

[Deleted member 20415]

Someone get to Dink!

 

[Host Samurai]

Everyone in this gif is dead.

Even the crowd.

Half the roster in that game is dead : (

Edit. Beaten by a mile.

Had the SNES version and ws pissed at no Yoko and Bam Bam. Why were they taken out?

Evil Doink had a great heel run. He was booked really well. Him and Mr. Perfect had some sweet matches that were a tie breaker. Thats saying something about how unpredictible the booking was back than.

 

[DustinC]

Wow thats pretty crazy. Half of them are gone

Wait, is Luger dead? I know Yokozuna, Bam Bam, and now Doink.

 

[DocX]

RIP

Is that Howard Stern there in front of the steps?

 

[Forkball]

Wow thats pretty crazy. Half of them are gone

Only Doink, Yokozuna and Bam Bam are dead.

this picture almost made me tear

It's sad how 5/8 of these are either dead or on the brink of death.

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

RIP

Did the article say murder?

 

[Dark Ninja]

Only Doink, Yokozuna and Bam Bam are dead.

Honestly thought Luger was dead already. Scott Hall will outlive them all.

 

[strobogo]

Undertaker has been dead for 23 years. So 50% of that roster is indeed dead.

 

[thefro]

I remember Doinks run, it was amazing how far they took what was a lame gimmick.

RIP.

Evil Doink was a pretty damn good gimmick... it's when Matt Borne got replaced and he became a lame face who was just a normal clown that it became trash.

 

[AlexMogil]

The pc version of Wrestlemania supported 4 controllers, and thus was born some awesome 4 Doink Battles.

 

[strobogo]

Wow, I thought Jerry Lawler was Doink. R.I.P

I forgot to comment on this earlier. Wat? Why would you think that? They had a big feud that ended in both men having a team of midgets dressed like them at Survivor Series. Terrible, terrible feud. But Borne was awesome he and King's paths had to have crossed at some point during the 80s. And if it did, I'm sure it was great.

 

[acrid]

Loved Matt Bourne's Doink gimmick. Dude was a top notch wrestler that made the gimmick work. The evil music and his facial expressions were the icing on the cake.

I had the PSX whenever I rented the system.

 

[DominoKid]

Have you ever seen Razor Ramon's ending? He pretty much becomes an alcoholic after losing the WWF title.

Whoa

 

[Ingueferroque]

Will always remember him from that Wrestling game by Acclaim. (Wrestlemania)
