Matt Osborne a.k.a Doink the Clown has been found dead at the age of 55 on June 28, 2013 at his Girlfriends' apartment in Texas. With the tragic death of Doink the Clown an era of fun and tricks died in the WWE history, he was the most entertaining and tricky wrestler of WWE in 90's probably before we started watching wrestling. But, as soon as I got interested in wrestling I found Doink the clown match on youtube and really enjoyed it.
Doink the clown was known for his great tricks he used to play on wrestlers and the audience. In the age of boring but aggresive wrestling he was a true entertainer and WWE surely misses him. And have issued the statement over his death saying,
"WWE is saddened by the news that Matt Osborne, aka the original Doink the Clown, has passed away. A rugged brawler in promotions like Mid-South Wrestling and World Championship Wrestling, Osborne made a major impact in WWE under the greasepaint of a prankster named Doink — one of the most enduring personas of the early ’90s. Our deepest condolences go out to Osborne’s family, friends and fans."
The death of Doink the clown looks accidental and police have confirmed it but also have started homicidal investigation which is a standard policy for them. But check out this fight of Doink the Clown vs Great Khali vs other stars and enjoy!
Although, he was removed from WWE for repeated drug abuse, he was still a hot seller in WF and will be missed for sure.
