Reports indicate that Matt Osborne, aka Doink the Clown, has passed away. A rugged brawler in promotions like Mid-South Wrestling and World Championship Wrestling, Osborne made a major impact in WWE under the greasepaint of a prankster named Doink — one of the most enduring personas of the early ’90s.
WWE is saddened by the news of Osborne's passing. Our deepest condolences go out to Osborne’s family, friends and fans.
"Doink" is currently the top trend worldwide on Twitter.
