– During a recent edition of Something to Wrestle, WWE executive Bruce Prichard revealed that he wishes he could’ve put the WWE Championship on wrestler Doink the Clown if he had the power to do so. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Bruce Prichard on Doink the Clown: “I would have put the championship on Doink. I loved him being a heel champ and it was my way then you would do the undefeated streak and it would still be going on today.”

On the wrestlers who portrayed Doink: “Even when Matt Bourne passes away, but you don’t replace him with any of the other dudes they replaced him with, you do holograms, man. You make it real. … The only Doink that was worth a s*** other than obviously Matt Bourne was Steve Keirn. Steve was excellent as Doink. The rest of them just fit the outfit.”

And that's why you were never in serious contention for head writer/booker there, Bruce.

Matt Bourne as Doink was the only one who could have pulled it off, and even then, Doink as a character was not WWF Championship material. He definitely could be an IC title contender at the time, and Bourne was a hell of a talent.

Heel Doink Bruh was something special. I think in the attitude era (HEAR ME OUT) with a little tweak could have been a layered fucking heel.

If you want the best version of Heel Doink, look at Borne's ECW version of the gimmick. In the Attitude Era tho that Doink still probably would have been an IC title character.

I'm pretty sure Bruce was kidding around with Conrad when he said that. I don't think it could've happened but it's interesting to imagine it ngl.

Without context, I’m going to assume he’s joking. The whole “undefeated streak that would still be going today” just screams rib

But I don’t know too many great Pritchard ideas anyway. Outside of Kane.

Is Pritchard really the one claiming to have invented Kane?

I believe it was him. Or Cornette

 

[Jimmy King]

I know Bruce has said the Kane and Undertaker story is his personal all time favorite and he named his son Kane, but I can’t recall him ever trying to take credit for the character.

Yeah I listened to the first few years of the pod and never heard him say that

[Gentleman Jake]

He never said that on the pod lol

 

[Cwalker]

I haven’t listened to it in years but I’m pretty sure he’s admitted Kane was his creating multiple times

 

[Bobby Barrows]

I mean, even if Pritchard came up with the idea, Cornette should take primary responsibility for that story being as successful as it was. Hell in a Cell, the buildup, everything up till after Mania.
