I like these old clips of Matt Borne. Good story teller. How haunting were his words when he said, "excess in this life will take you over, it'll kill you". RIP Doink
Wow!! Roddy gave Matt a notebook that was filled with ideas and pointers for cutting promos ! Forget about the chick-flick movie that’s already been out, THIS story is worthy of being a movie and worthy of being named THE NOTEBOOK!! As for Piper being recognized as wrestling’s greatest on the mic, this notebook is damn near biblical! Lol. Rest In Peace fellas
It's amazing all the stuff ppl hear in these interviews years later after the fact from guys who sadly have mostly passed on to that great big wrestling ring in the sky😟😇
05:46 ive heard piper mention that notebook in other interviews. awesome content, these shoot interviews are gold! rip to legend roddy piper and matt bourne
The evil clown gimmick, was amazing....the biggest mistake they made, was turning him face. Doink was one of those characters, that should've never turned, because it took so much away from the gimmick
@@FreddieBlaze Well, Matt Borne was a heel the entire time he was Doink. He was fired and when he was replaced, the character Doink was made face. The only good/great Doink was Matt Borne
@@FreddieBlaze You got that right on the money, Mr. Stone👍 It's the worst damned thing possible Creative could've done to Doink. He was great as a heel. He had kayfabe issues galore
To reinforce what Borne says here, I saw a match between him and David Sammartino on UA-cam. Both second generation wrestlers, Borne had slightly more experience but was clearly head and shoulders better in the ring than Sammartino. Borne carried the match and did his best to cover for Sammartino's shortcomings, and then did the job for Sammartino. He was clearly willing to job and was a good sport about still doing his best in the ring.
Nice interview. I like how you asked him to elaborate on his problems with Adonis. I see so many shoot interviewers where interviewers miss opportunities to ask good follow up questions. A wrestler will bring something interesting up, but only scratch the surface and then move on to a new topic. Good interviewers will do like you did here.
I saw Roddy Piper wrestle Matt Borne in Williamson, WV- would have been ~1982, I guess (headline on the card was Buzz Sawyer vs. Tommy Rich- lots of “color” in that one!) Anyway- I was a HUGE fan of Piper on the mic and had seen him hit Jack Brisco with a roll of dimes in Mid-Atlantic, haha. I couldn’t wait. Piper beat Borne in
here is an interview trick.... the word "um" from someone who is a native speaker is "usually" a telltale that they are making stuff up. If he were French, or Japanese, and said "um", that could be overlooked... watch these wresterls, and not so much as what theya re saying, but HOW...
I always liked Matt Bourne and I think the doing the clown character was a rib from Vince to see if Matt could get it over or if he would quit. But Matt is a great talker and could work. He got the character but it was incredible how he did it.
Borne and Piper were about the same size, did drugs and their voices were a bit similar. I can definitely see how they would have made good friends. I could see them as brothers.
My God what id give for that notebook ! Not to sell it . Just to see into the great mind of Roddy . After reading it , id probably send it to an up and comer who respect it and use it . Like an MJF of sorts . But he dont need it . But u get my jist .
lot of wrestlers were saying this guy sucked and tried to hurt you in the ring all the time, said he was real malicious dunno if it's true, i dont doubt it, apparently almost every single person in this business is a disgusting shill, all back stabbing and shit talking on each other what the hell is actually true, one guys says doink the clown was a bad dude, doink says same shit about everyone else. well now he dont say nothing, but i mean how do we know whos full of shit?
Imagine his charisma and technical ability in the ring today... Rest in peace you absolute Legend. Thank you for all the memories
Piper was one of the greats.
Amazing talent, giant heart, and an actual good human being.
I've always said that Matt's Doink was a cross between Roddy Piper and Krusty The Clown, which was always bad ass.
Naw it was Krusty the Clown and Betelgeuse to me.
I like these old clips of Matt Borne. Good story teller.
How haunting were his words when he said, "excess in this life will take you over, it'll kill you".
RIP Doink
Fantasy story story teller more likely
@@Me-qp8vz that's what I'm thinking I never heard that spiral notebook story from Piper before
It's common sense. Even the Bible teaches that excess will consume you. Literally and figuratively. 🤔

Matt borne was a great athlete
Very much uber atheletic

Loved the Doink the clown gimmick, truly a great ring technician, and worker!
The evil clown gimmick, was amazing....the biggest mistake they made, was turning him face. Doink was one of those characters, that should've never turned, because it took so much away from the gimmick
@@sese6227 Unfortunately yes but it was the creative team's fault for turning him face when as a heel he was a God!
@@FreddieBlaze Well, Matt Borne was a heel the entire time he was Doink. He was fired and when he was replaced, the character Doink was made face.
The only good/great Doink was Matt Borne
Thank you Matt the character was very underrated!

8:07 He knew this, yet sadly died because of it! RIP.
oh is that how he died, DO?
I remember him as big Josh, and then he terrified me as the clown.
RIP Matt Borne.
Doink was a great gimmick. Borne had the personality to pull it off
I know Matt Borne partied with Roddy Piper a lot
@Kevin the Duck Piper lived in Gaston
Rip Matt Borne

Matt was so underrated as a wrestler and probably the only one other than Taker to not only make a gimmick work but make it better as his own

Mingo country
Rip Matt Bourne the most underrated technical wrestler of the 90’s he definitely deserved more & is that John cenas father with the suit n glasses ?
Yup Cena Sr
Jesse Ventura put Matt Borne over with his commentary during Wrestlemania 1
Big Josh was his best gimmick
Matt and buzz sawyer two great amateurs with a crazy mean streak there tag team could have been so good with a push
you guys have some great interview content
Too bad the guy died and the channel will never have new content, because he was the only one with the pasword
I always enjoyed watching matts matches! Helluva entertainer
A clown and a drag queen get into a fight. Sounds like the intro to a joke. Eighties were crazy man.
Matt seems genuine in this interview. The other one I saw he seemed a little pettier and holding a grudge.

Heel Doink was awesome and Brone was great wrestler
Matt was a great amateur wrestler.
This is the third one I watched (with Matt)and I was wondering who was doing the heavy breathing... that older dude.
Damn! Now that's all I hear 🤣
Roddy became a family man. He didn't really tt SEX OFFENDERS.
It makes sense why The Clit (click/clique however TF you spell it) was all over The Rocks nutsack. The Rock is 3rd generation in the business.
Bourne had a problem with everybody he got his ass beat by hacksaw Duggan and adorable Adonis
The notebook was such an honor...I lost it
Adrian Adonis was a horrible bully
Until he run into Danny Spivey
@@NZ_Man Danny’s fist🤪
Kinda weird Piper was the one who told him considering Adonis and him were very close
Borne and Piper were about the same size, did drugs and their voices were a bit similar. I can definitely see how they would have made good friends. I could see them as brothers.

What is a stick man?
Is Matt Bourne still alive!
Adonis was one of Piper's best friends ever. Not Matt Bourne. Piper was definitely trying to stir shit up.
Why you makin' kids cry, bra?
Piper and jennetty should have tagged as ‘the addictions’
I know Matt was tough obviously. But Savage would have beat his ass. Adrian was tough AF as well.
Borne was a lunatic !
What year is this?
2020... did you just wake from a coma?
You made me lol :) thanks :)
Probably 09/2010, a gesstimate if Matt Borne was borne in July of 57 and was 52 years old here.
Tom..... Are you still around ??? Talk to us 🤔

Piper was THE BEST, EVER
Why is this being premiered now matt Bourne died in 2013? RIP
Sometimes the channel uploads classic clips.
@@Will_kid_cortez oh right ok. Just with it saying premiering I thought it was new, my apologies
