Can anyone give me some info on this gimmick that Matt Borne did in ECW? What shows did he appear on for ECW as well?

I don't know the names of the shows, I think he did a couple of tapings because the gimmick didn't last that long. Or actually, Matt Borne didn't last that long. From what I've read is that Borne debuted as Doink and Shane Douglas took him under his wing and told him that Borne was too talented to be a stupid clown. He got Borne to become more agressive and he later showed up wearing only part of the face paint and destroying his opponents and putting them in the Doink costume to make them feel how humiliated he was. The gimmick worked, but something happened and Borne left ECW.

I remember marking out for this gimmick. It was on one of the very first ECW shows that I saw.
Borne was such a great talent. It's too bad that his "personal demons" got in the way. The whole gimmick only lasted a couple of weeks.

I wish they'd have covered it more on the Rise and Fall DVD.

I wish they'd have covered it more on the Rise and Fall DVD. It simply wouldn't make sense to cover something that lasted only a few weeks. Though they covered things that I felt could have been left out, you have to realize it's quite hard to fit 10 yrs of footage into a 3 hr doc

Matt Borne is an asshole. I've met him a few times before, and he has never been a pleasant man to talk with.
