The Doink/Mr. Perfect feud was underrated

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

We clown on the Doink gimmick (pun intended) often, but Matt Bourne's original run as the character was more nuanced than Doink initially became. He was presented as a dangerous and skilled wrestler who was deranged and sinister, almost like a more family-friendly Joker. He and Hennig had some straight up great matches with minimal gimmicks.

I'm thinking "why do I want to see Doink vs. Zack Sabre Jr now?"

By the time Doink was feuding with Bam Bam he was pretty much a generic midcard face in clown makeup, and he lost a lot of his fire.

This is the earliest feud I clearly remember, still have VHS' of them fighting over the last KOTR spot.
