Just saw Goldie post it on twitter (thought he misspelled it as "Bourn")
What a shame. Wonder what happened? My friend and I chatted briefly with him 2 years ago at Legends of the Ring. Nice, if quiet, guy.

I first started watching wrestling regularly in that 1993 - 1994 time period, so yeah, Doink was a huge favourite growing up. R.I.P  |

Damn. God damn.
Great worker who MADE the Doink gimmick and was part of one of my favorite gimmicks ever in ECW (which also gave me the name I've been using on message boards for the last 11 years.)
Rest In Peace Matt.

Rest in peace...
He really wasn't that old, either... don't want to speculate, but my heart is with his friends and family.

Damn...........well, at least he can live happy knowing that while he may no longer with us, Doink will live on.
It's what Hulk Hogan thinks Hulkamania always will be.

RIP. If you've never seen it before check out his pre-Doink match with Ricky Steamboat at WM 1. The match of the night according to no less of a source than Dave Meltzer.

Also, I didn't realize that he used a Skinny Puppy song as one of his themes in ECW... that makes me like him even more. I really want to go back and see the Borne Again stuff.

Doink is one of those gimmicks that could have been ultra wrestlecrap, but Bourne made it work. Evil Doink is a character that needs to be explored again in the current era.
RIP Matt Bourne.

Except, The guy doing it has some pretty damn big (clown) shows to fill because Bourne made that character work. |

That SUCKS. I still have a Polaroid I took with him and Jimmy Jack Funk back in 1988, when he was in WCCW. Loved him in WCCW and he was perfect as Doink.

R.I.P. Very good wrestler and overall performer. It's a shame he had so many personal demons.
