F4Wonline.com and PWInsider.com reported this afternoon that Matt Osborne, who originally portrayed Doink the Clown on WWE programming in the early-1990's, was found dead today by his girlfriend. WWE has issued a statement regarding his passing.

"Reports indicate that Matt Osborne, aka the original 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."

Osborne was 55-years-old.

So sad, Doink was awesome.

We paid our respects other places and posted on our facebooks and twitters yesterday. He was Awesome as Doink and Big Josh and vastly underrated. Of course we care but we don't all sit around all day and post here. God you are such a twatburger sometimes.

Of course, this post comes from the guy who couldn't even bother to put his real name in the OP and instead wrote "Original Doink".....real classy dude, real classy.

As Booty said, I've already paid my respects to Bourne so I didn't feel the need to do it again here, but if its going to get your panties in a bunch, I really liked Bourne and thought he was a vastly underrated talent in his time.

Yeah because writing a five second "I think he was a great wrestler R.I.P." is really sitting around and posting all day

He's saying they're not on here all day, every day. The news is a day old. It's not that nobody cares. The forum was down so everyone else posted their condolences elsewhere.

You're really asking me this? I don't know. It's not down THAT much. It happens to forums. They go down sometimes.

First thing off I want to give my condolences to the Osborne family and any friends Matt may have left behind. I really enjoyed his dark characters.

Next I'd like to say that some people have to work during the day and aren't able to post in a thread the moment it's posted.

Lastly it was over a month ago that the forum had any down time. We don't have a technical adviser that can simply fix things in an hour.

There's an outdated piece of software in our server that Hostgator will be taking care of tonight.

Again, you're the person who couldn't even take the time to type the guy's FUCKING NAME into the thread title before I changed it, so shut the fuck up already.

1. My title was longer than your title
2. His name is "Osbourne" not "Bourne"

At this point I think we've paid our condolences to Matt Osborne and we're just going in circles.

Sabs thinks people should care more. Fuji thinks Sabs is a dickface. Apparently no one gives a shit what Doink's real name was.
