Who Was The Greater Wrestler Eugene or Doink?

I've been seeing a lot of dumbass 'who was the better wrestler' comparisons here lately so let me pose this question to you Shertards.

Who was the greater wrestler? Eugene or Doink the Clown?

Eugene?

 

[The Good The Bad The HBK]

Doink was awesome until they changed him. They should have kept him as the psychotic evil clown instead of the cheesy dork

Ironically, Nick Dinsmore and Matt Borne were both phenomenal workers.

They found themselves in a remarkably similar situation: top mat technicians who were given outlandish gimmicks. Credit to both men, they overachieved in those roles. Both characters were a hit and are remembered many years later.

Evil Doink vs. Undertaker would've been fucking money.

Eugene was just stupid and awful

This is precisely why I made this thread.

Doink the Clown all day and everyday

 

[Amerikuracana]

I like them both

The dynamic of stuffy William regal and Eugene was pretty fkn good. Sorry.

I actually listened to this podcast at work today and it was super interesting. Apparently Eugene wrestled as Doink a few times!

As wrestlers I feel like the original Doink (Matt Borne) and Nick Dinsmore were in the upper echelon of technical wrestlers, like if Bret Hart is an A then these guys are a B+ minimum.

 

[Hitman81]

Evil Doink was fucking incredible

 

[Gambit MMA]

doink easily

 

[THE Red Beard]

The nod for me goes to Doink. He sprayed me and my friends with seltzer water in Springfield, MA in a high school gymnasium after beating Bob Backlund. The wrestling business is really an unforgiving whore.

At one time Doink was the hot ticket in town.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Doink the Clown was awesome when he was evil, they should have left him evil always, his ring music was so scary for the evil Doink, and he did some epic promos.

 

[Protegejoe296]

I agree, also really liked the promo with Eugene and the Rock.
Matt Bourne as the original Doink was pretty great too.

I give doink the edge but I’m surprised by the Eugene hate. Silly gimmick but it worked

Wut? It is dumb for fans of wrestling to discuss who the better wrestler was between two wrestlers? If that is off the table, what are we supposed to talk about? Their sex lives? Their boots?
