5 rare, unused character designs for WWE legends revealed

#4. Doink

A different Doink the Clown

Doink was one of the most memorable and colorful characters in the New Generation period of WWE, which took place in the mid-1990s.

First debuting as a sinister (and I mean, very sinister) heel in late 1992 before, by the end of the following year, operating as a babyface, Doink was an incredibly popular member of the roster who was adored by fans, particularly youngsters.

At the outset, as noted above, the intention was for Doink to operate as an 'evil' clown. It was an intention WWE executed to perfection, as anyone who saw Doink during the first half of 1993 can attest to. As you can see above, the version of the character that was originally plotted, ended up being quite different from the one who made it on to television.

Sporting a different color scheme for his outfit and, oddly, blue hair rather than the green that fans remember, the Doink character underwent quite a few visual changes.

Doink wrestled in WWE until the fall of 1995 before departing, the character infrequently returning after for cameos.
