Any idea who played Doink last night. I saw Lombardi as Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz early in the show, did he do a double-shot?

It didn't look like Matt Borne to me.

It was Matt Borne I believe. It looked like Evil Doink to me, and no one but Borne can pull that off. So it had to have been him.

Yeah, I'm thinking it was Borne (which would just be amazing) because it was certainly NOT the same silly goofy Doink we've been seeing since Borne left the WWF in '93.
Just for a laugh I checked his profile at Wikipedia (because we can all trust Wiki, no questions asked), and at the end it said this...
"Osborne occasionaly helps train wrestlers at Dean Malenko's wrestling academy while Dean is away."
So he basically works part-time for a current WWE employee......which means maybe it WAS him after all...

I'll be honest, I thought Matt Borne had passed away. I'm pleased to hear he hasn't.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was him.
Another peice of evidence, Lawler called him "Doink the evil clown."

Another peice of evidence, Lawler called him "Doink the evil clown." Was it Lawler or JR who said that? Lawler saying it sounds like just a little heel moment from him ("He's a dumb clown so thus he's evil!" - Heenan used to call Doink evil even after Doink turned face), but JR saying it is basically an indicator of an inside reference.

I know that before the show, Pwinsider said that Borne was going to be playing Doink.

It was JR that called him evil i think. Even though he came out to face Doink's music.
If he had come out to heel Doink's music, i'd have marked even more than i was already throughout the night

I'm curious to this as well as I definitely could tell it wasn't Lombardi, who typically fills in as the "Rent-A-Doink" when they need the character. I thought three people played Doink: Borne (first), Lombardi (last), but who played Doink after Borne left the WWF? I also noticed JR call him "Doink the evil clown" as well, although I didn't pick up on that may be an inside nod that it was really Borne at the time.

I believe it could've been Bourne, Lombardi came out as Wrestlecrap alumnus Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz during the Family Reunion skit.

Ray Apollo played Doink when he was face. Steve Kearn also did, but he was Skinner last night.

Whether it was actually Borne or someone just copying Borne, I would fully welcome the return of Evil Doink to Raw, fullt-ime.

I saw Lombardi as Abe Knuckleball Schwartz early in the show, did he do a double-shot? Depends on how tired Patterson was...

Why didn't the Brooklyn Brawler or the good Doink come out for the battle Royal?
