So what are you favorite Doink the Clown on a WWF superstar pre Crush feud. There are lot of funny ones to choose from. My favorite has to be maybe because the victim is such jabrony, the kick me hard sign on Lance Cassidy. I thought adding the "hard" part was very creative. Though a close second is the mop on Tatanka's eyes.

It’s post-Crush, but showering Bruce Hart with water at Summerslam 93 is always funny, purely because it’s Bruce Hart.

Didn't someone say that was an Owen rib? like Owen got Doink to actually throw water. If so then credit to Owen for taking a bit of a soaking himself to deflect some of the blame. I saw the match again recently, and loved how genuinely pissed off Bruce Hart was. I was half expecting him to get in the ring to attack Doink, get Bret DQd and ruin the whole angle of the match! |

Looking back I didn't really enjoy the character until he got in the ring and cut promos but the trip wire on Bossman was probably the best.

Bossman and Lance Cassidy were definitely my favorites. Though I think all of those pranks definitely made those guys look bad. Why didn't anyone retaliate? You are the Big Bossman - the man who had handcuffed the likes of Hulk Hogan and Dusty Rhodes and beat them senseless. Some guy trips you with a wire and all you can do is stand up and say "That's not funny man" and leave. You're the Big Bossman!! Show this man some hard times!! Maybe if you had, he wouldn't have blinded you for a year a few months later.

So, that may have had something to do with it. EDIT: I don't remember the "blinded for a year" angle. |

Big Bossman and Doink fought on Superstars in February or March of 1993 and Doink squirted ink in his eyes, pinned him, and then put the boots to him while Bossman sold that he couldn' see. That was the last time Bossman was on WWF TV and I didn't see him again until he debuted in WCW almost a year later. As a kid, I thought Doink had blinded him and he had to retire. I was relieved when he got to WCW because I thought he was never coming back to wrestling. |

So, that may have had something to do with it. EDIT: I don't remember the "blinded for a year" angle. Which made it worse when he pranked Bam Bam Bigelow whom I'm pretty sure was the only heel Doink messed with during his early string of pranks which ended up being a good bit of unintentional foreshadowing since they ended up feuding after Doink turned face. Doink threw a bucket of confetti on him and Bigelow let him off with a warning saying something like "I'll let you off this time Clown but next time I'll rip your head off!". Like really? I mean your a 300+ pound bad guy with freaking tattoos on your head and your just going to let him off easy like that? Like why not beat the crap out of him? Really made him look bad and took away from his tough guy/monster aura. Also even though he ended up looking like a loser in their subsequent feud I guess the one good think about all the other guys basically just shrugging their shoulders and walking away is that it kind of made Crush look better when he didn't put up with it and at least got physical with him a little by grabbing his arm hard although only after Doink starting messing with the kids in the audience (brah!). |

Marty Jannetty got the first ever bucket of water And this was right after he threw confetti on Bam Bam Bigelow in the match right before (Bigelow was just squashing jobbers at this time, and wasn't really established as a heel yet). Marty thought Doink was going to do something similar, and ended up getting water right in the face. A few weeks later, Doink comes down with a bucket after one of Marty's matches, apparently to do it to him again, and Marty thinks he's too clever for it this time, but as he steps out of the way, Doink reveals the bucket is empty, and gets the last laugh as he outsmarts him again. |
