[1995-08-14-WWF-Raw] Doink the Clown vs Waylon Mercy

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Just a clip. "KILL THE CLOWN!", the crowd shouts in unison as Mercy takes Doink down with a sleeper. Funny! The crowd pops way bigger for his win than they have any business doing, which makes this fun.

At the time it wasn't really clear why Doink was there, anyway, since he had been off TV for so long.

Won't someone help me to break up this crown?

 

Let's all drink to the death of a clown...

Was watching this episode for Shawn Michaels vs Jerry Lawler and saw this come on first. Fast forwarded to the finish. Heard Worcester chanting "Kill The Clown" and I was like "Yep, this made the Yearbook" and here it is. This is the penultimate RAW before their summer break heading into the Monday Night Wars and this is definitely a microcosm of their issues. Non-Matt Borne, Babyface Doink was given a feature attraction match on RAW as recent as May 8th against IC Champion Jeff Jarrett. It is weird how much cooler heel, Matt Borne Doink is than this version of Doink. Not a good look heading into the Monday Night Wars.
