00:00Gracias por ver el video.
00:30Matt was a maniac. Maniac Matt was a very fitting name.
00:33Maniac Matt Bourne.
00:35Matt. Matt.
00:37Matt Bourne in charge right now.
00:38He fired up, brother.
00:40But he was solid.
00:42Before putting on the clown suit, Matt Bourne was a second-generation wrestler with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove.
00:49Yes, baby. That's right.
00:51But despite his success as one of the WWF's most iconic stars, Matt's bad decisions and bad habits would continue to haunt him.
01:00Everybody has problems out there in the real world. It's no different than the world of professional wrestling.
01:05I could just see him in the back having a cigarette like Krusty.
01:09Oh, yeah. I whooped his ass, didn't I?
01:12There's no silver lining here.
01:14His demons get the best of him, and it was just all downhill.
01:17When he did drugs, he was a completely different human being.
01:21He liked oxys. He liked steroids.
01:23He liked cocaine, yes.
01:24And I didn't even know he was on crack.
01:26A clown in the ring whose violent tendencies ran deeper than the grease paint.
01:31When you see a headline about Doink the Clown being on drugs, fighting, you just think he's a terrible person.
01:38I tried to make him realize that you don't have to do drugs. You don't have to get violent. We all know you're tough.
01:43Just be you.
01:44Because I did though.
01:45And in the end, his tragic death would leave some still looking for answers.
01:51Nobody wants to believe that it was an accident.
01:55I don't believe it.
01:56There was 110% foul play.
01:58God, every time I put this on, I just...
02:27It's weird. I got these mixed feelings about it.
02:30You know, I love it.
02:31You know, I mean...
02:33At one time, I thought I had the best job in the world.
02:37The bad thing about it was I was pretty ignorant.
02:40I thought, man, this is the way it's going to be.
02:42You know, I've done this, and nothing's forever.
02:46Definitely not this character, right?
02:48I mean, this is the biggest crowd in history.
02:581.2 million.
02:59Nobody wants to lose in front of that many people, Gino.
03:02Absolutely. Let's go up to Howard.
03:03At the very first WrestleMania, do you know who fought Ricky Steamboat?
03:07It was my dad, wasn't it?
03:08Yeah, I watched it. It was phenomenal.
03:10From Portland, Oregon, Matt Bourne.
03:14Matt Bourne looks in good shape himself.
03:16You know, he's a second-generation wrestler.
03:19He just...
03:20No offense to Steamboat.
03:21Like, he was obviously good.
03:22But my dad just killed it.
03:24Like, the way he hit the ropes, the way he hit the floor.
03:28Like, I actually believe that they beat each other up.
03:31Matt Bourne is not done yet.
03:33My dad loved his job.
03:35He didn't just do it to be famous.
03:37He actually loved what he did, and he was so freaking good at it.
03:41My name's Tegan Osborne, and I'm the daughter of Matt Osborne, Doink the Clown.
03:45He doesn't know where.
03:46Steamboat is.
03:47Here he comes.
03:47Wow.
03:48So, 15 feet across the ring.
03:50He got him.
03:51He got him.
03:53I actually met Matt in 93 in Elwood City.
03:58He had just gotten fired from WWE.
04:01He definitely looked rough.
04:04Looked like he partied a lot, put it that way.
04:06And when I first met him, he's like, I'm Doink the Clown.
04:10I'm like, what do you go to kids' birthday parties?
04:13And he's like, I'm a pro wrestler.
04:16And I'm like, yeah, that shit's all fake.
04:20But Matt just made it look so real to me.
04:26My name is Michelle James, and I was married to Matt Osborne until, well, until his death.
04:33We weren't together, but we were friends, and we have two kids.
04:38You know, the other women that married him, married him, obviously, for the money.
04:42I didn't.
04:42Like, I loved this man.
04:44I really did.
04:45He was 37.
04:47I was 21.
04:48So, my first impressions were, wow, this guy's old.
04:51But he was still good at it.
04:53Here's more.
04:54Matt was hugely influential, not just to me, but by extension, anyone who ever saw my work
05:02and liked it is, in a way, admiring the work of Matt Bourne.
05:07My name is Mick Foley.
05:08I'm a three-time WWE champion, known as the hardcore legend, and Matt Bourne was a colleague
05:16and friend of mine.
05:17And I saw in him what I hoped to one day be.
05:20You don't just play a character, you inhabit the character.
05:24You had to believe it yourself.
05:26He was a second-generation wrestler.
05:29That respect had been instilled in him by his dad, Tough Tony Bourne.
05:33Tony was quite content with being a Portland wrestler, and he was proud of it.
05:37And until this day, if you say Tough Tony Bourne, everybody in Oregon knows who he is.
05:42Matt grew up with his dad, actually, because his mom and dad divorced when he was 10.
05:47He remembers the day they split up.
05:49His mom said, you go with your dad, because I don't want that little bastard.
05:54And that stayed in Matt's head probably till the day he died.
05:58He had so much anger in him and passion in him.
06:01I would consider him similar to The Incredible Hulk, yes.
06:05Like, that was just my dad.
06:06He was 6'6'1".
06:07He was just thick.
06:09His hands were thick, his neck was thick.
06:12Everything about my dad was just bigger.
06:15I don't know whether his dad's legacy helped or hindered Matt, but it was a pretty big name to live up to.
06:23It's difficult being the child of a wrestler.
06:26I'll be honest with you, it hasn't been easy being your son, being the son of Tough Tony Bourne.
06:30Okay, we got dad and his dad.
06:34Tough Tony Bourne and Matt Bourne.
06:36Yep.
06:36Two legends that are no longer here, but...
06:40This is one of my favorite pictures, because he just looks happy.
06:43Matt was solid.
06:45He was of an era where you laid it in and you made people believe.
06:51Matt made you work in the ring.
06:54The term that's come to my mind is whirling dervish.
06:57He sold pain differently, and he was in constant motion.
07:05Well, I certainly think Matt's father had an influence on making Matt tough.
07:11My name is Dr. Tom Pritchard, and I first met Matt Bourne in the early 1980s.
07:18Tommy Pritchard!
07:20Matt could be abrasive.
07:23He could be confrontational.
07:26He could be out of his mind.
07:29We were both young in the business back then, but Matt had grown up in it.
07:33He learned a lot of it through his father, but his father came up through the ranks where these guys were even more insane.
07:39So Matt's learning from his dad how to handle conflict, and not everybody would appreciate that.
07:47Well, I don't think any father could be any part of a son, and I am of mine.
07:51After establishing himself in Portland, Matt begins a tour of the territories that make up the wrestling world,
07:58building a name and reputation across the country.
08:01Matt Bourne did the regional territories.
08:04Introducing Matt Bourne.
08:06And he got over everywhere he did.
08:07He got over in Portland.
08:08Tony Bourne and Matt Bourne.
08:11He got over in Texas.
08:12Texas heavyweight champion, Matt Bourne.
08:15He got over in Carolinas.
08:17Well, first off, I gotta say, Matt Bourne and I, from the time I met him, did not get along.
08:22He was a bully, in my opinion.
08:24Ho!
08:25Hey, folks!
08:26I'm WWE Hall of Famer, Hexaw Jim Duggan, from the golden age of wrestling.
08:33Hexaw Jim Duggan!
08:34Mid-South at that time was a snake pit of tough guys.
08:39And back then, six-man tags were pretty big.
08:42The Freebirds were really, really hot.
08:44Of course, the Von Eriks were hot.
08:46So, Bill Watts decided to put together a six-man tag.
08:49And, of course, he had two second-generation guys with Matt Bourne and DiBiase, and he obviously
08:56saw something in me and put me with those guys, who were already pretty established, and formed
09:02the Rat Pack.
09:03One for all, all for one.
09:04We're the Rat Pack, man.
09:05Every night, you're throwing punches, you're blocking punches, you're getting potatoed.
09:09We weren't the babyface heels or the crybaby heels.
09:13We were the kick-butt heels.
09:14It's busted loose again!
09:16All three were incredible performers, incredible workers.
09:21Though they didn't have a chance against us.
09:23Matt seemed to have a lot going for him.
09:25But he was always fighting those demons.
09:30This Bourne is a very aggressive wrestler.
09:32Oh, beautiful suplex!
09:34I only knew Matt Bourne through reputation.
09:38Hi, this would be Brian Blair, a retired professional wrestler.
09:42I heard that Matt was a product of the Portland Territory.
09:46That's about all I knew about Matt.
09:48Until we had met in this bar.
09:52The place was packed, full of the boys.
09:54And Matt comes up to me, Matt Bourne now.
09:56He's new in the Territory.
09:58And he comes up to me and he says,
09:59Hey, why are you messing with my girl?
10:01I looked at Matt and I said,
10:04I'm not messing with your girl, Matt.
10:05I don't have a girlfriend here.
10:07I don't know what you're talking about.
10:09And he seemed like he was a little, you know, jacked up.
10:11You know, just very big eyes.
10:14And I kind of think that Matt wanted to establish himself as a tough guy.
10:19And he thought that I was going to be the guy that he was going to establish himself on.
10:24And so all of a sudden, I turn around and boom, Matt hits me from behind.
10:29And he goes to suplex me.
10:30And when he did, I turned in midair and landed on top of him.
10:35And when I was on top of Matt, he grabbed my ears and he's pulling my head down.
10:40He's got his teeth wide open.
10:42And I can still see his teeth, you know, he's getting ready to bite my nose.
10:47And as he goes to bite my nose, I saw his lip sticking out.
10:51So I went down and bit his bottom lip right off and spit his lip off.
10:56And so I'm on top of him and, you know, I punch him and he's like a zombie.
11:01And I thought it was over.
11:04A few minutes later, he comes back, jumps on me again.
11:08Oh, I wind up beating him up really good this time.
11:12I mean, I hammered this guy.
11:13How he ever got up, I don't know.
11:16He was live.
11:17I mean, all the way live.
11:18This was unhuman.
11:20And a little while goes by now and people are buying me drinks and they're laughing.
11:25And all of a sudden, I can't believe it, a freaking Matt jumps on me again.
11:30He's all bandaged up.
11:31This time, as I'm trying to drag him towards the door, he hooked my right leg somehow and
11:38I fell forward.
11:39And as I fell forward, I felt him on my back and then I felt a hand, like, reaching for
11:46my eyeball.
11:50And there's Ivan Koloff right at the doorway.
11:53And Ivan kicked Matt's hand and said, no eyes, which I'm very grateful for because Matt
12:00could have pulled my eyeball out.
12:02I mean, he was like electricity.
12:05He was bleeding all over the place, from his eyes, from his nose, from his mouth.
12:09I guess if you have the right drugs in you, they can obviously make you superhuman because
12:14that was not a human.
12:17Matt's violent behavior outside the ring is already causing problems with his co-workers.
12:21But an incident at ringside will bring his time in the Rat Pack to an end.
12:27Matt Vaughn would rather get in there and kick somebody in the teeth as a man who has been
12:30well-schooled.
12:32It was Monroe, Louisiana coming out of the ring.
12:35And again, I'm 280 pounds.
12:37I'm jacked up.
12:38I'm pushing 505 on the bench.
12:39I'm blowing up.
12:40I'm blowing snot and steam and sweat.
12:42I'm cutting my other ring.
12:44I just got done kicking butt.
12:45I'm going through the crowd.
12:47Boom!
12:48I get popped.
12:49We were bad guys.
12:50People didn't like us back then, brother.
12:52They hated us, you know.
12:54Boom!
12:54I popped the guy right back.
12:56He went down.
12:56I kept on going.
12:57But when he went down, Matt put a boot to him.
13:01Broke his right front orbital lobe.
13:02I kicked him so hard, his eyeball fell out.
13:16Following a match in Monroe, Louisiana, Matt Vaughn takes an altercation with a fan in the
13:21crowd too far.
13:24So the guy, he sued me, he sued Matt, and he sued the company.
13:29And I asked him, I said, did you go to jail?
13:31He was like, no, I didn't get in trouble at all.
13:34Matt got fired.
13:35Duggan was kept.
13:36And I think that's where the hard feelings might have come out on Matt's side.
13:40Bill Watts used me as an example.
13:43This is how you take care of the business, you know.
13:45And I was gone, you know.
13:47All of a sudden, I was a bad guy.
13:49Though Matt leaves Mid-South under a cloud, his talent and connections land him a job with
13:55the World Wrestling Federation.
13:56But less than a year into his contract, he's fired once again, this time for drug use.
14:03I don't think Matt ever wrestled sober.
14:05He was always snorting coke.
14:07I mean, he'd have to start his day smoking weed.
14:10Maybe sometimes pain pills if he had them.
14:12I think it's the lifestyle.
14:14You know, they would go out and drink.
14:16Well, that would lead to this.
14:18Oh, let's try that.
14:19In spite of the setback, Matt lands on his feet again as he's hired by Ted Turner's World
14:25Championship Wrestling and given a gimmick inspired by his Northwest roots.
14:30Big Josh was a lumberjack.
14:32That was his character.
14:34He was kind of a bad guy, but yet in a sweet way.
14:37My name is Maria, and I am Matt Bourne's ex-wife from way back when.
14:41I was with a friend of mine, and we were at a match, and Matt evidently sent one of the
14:47security guys out to get me.
14:49He said he wanted to meet me.
14:50So I went back, and he introduced himself and invited my girlfriend and I out for a drink.
14:57He seemed nice.
14:58He was very cordial.
15:00It was pretty fast.
15:01It was probably within about three months that he asked me to move down.
15:06So I quit my job, and I moved.
15:07And, you know, I want the whole thing.
15:09I want the wife, the kids, things like that.
15:12What was Matt's emotional state when, like, his first daughter was born?
15:15Well, I was to be induced in the hospital, so I had an appointment to go in at 10.30 in
15:21the morning.
15:22Matt went out the night before and never came home.
15:26He showed up just before my daughter was born.
15:28Hi.
15:29A little drunk.
15:31But he showed up.
15:33When he was with WCW, he had an offer from Vince McMahon.
15:36So he took that job.
15:38With a second chance at the WWF, Matt lands yet another opportunity to reinvent himself.
15:44From what I understand, they created Doink together.
15:48Doink was a clown.
15:51Doink was a crazy-looking clown with green hair.
15:55When I first heard of how Doink the Clown came about, I thought it made perfect sense.
16:00Because Hawk from the Road Warriors was looking at Matt, because Matt, you know, smoking a
16:06cigarette after his match.
16:07He was half-unlaced, his hair all a mess, and he's sweating.
16:10And it's like, we've got our own Krusty over there.
16:13Krusty the Clown.
16:14It's not what I would think of an ideal character for a wrestler, but, uh, seemed to take off
16:23pretty good.
16:24As far as technical wrestling is concerned, knowing holds, knowing counters and what have
16:30you, Doink is right up there with the best of them.
16:32Doink the Clown, considered one of the greats, but white-dressed up in this ridiculous-looking
16:36outfit.
16:36What does that get you?
16:37I think the little ones were scared, like this evil but happy Clown.
16:42Demented Clown, I mean, a Demented Clown ought to be kind of a scungy son of a bitch, you
16:47know what I mean?
16:47I've been around enough guys in the wrestling business that I know how to portray that.
16:51I can't criticize anybody with a two-by-four and a hole.
16:56Whatever works.
16:58I mean, and Doink got over pretty good.
17:00As soon as I heard that Matt Bourne was going to WWE, not as a clown, but as an evil clown,
17:07I thought, he's going to sink his teeth into this.
17:10Doink the Clown having fun!
17:12If they don't have a sense of humor, that's their problem.
17:15If I laugh, that's all that matters.
17:18It was the best character he ever did.
17:19Doink was his favorite.
17:21My dad was just goofy.
17:22He looked scary, but he was like a big, goofy teddy bear.
17:26So that also probably helped him do Doink, because I see some of that when he wrestles.
17:31And I'm like, damn, I don't think that's Doink.
17:33I think that's my dad.
17:33And he would just look in the mirror and kind of practice saying this and saying that.
17:39I am no more than an instrument of nature, a product of my environment.
17:45It was a gimmick, but Matt breathed life into this gimmick.
17:50I did not like a lot of what WWE was doing at that time, but I did like Doink the Clown.
17:56And Doink!
17:57Oh!
17:58Forget about it.
17:59Well, by God, I may be a clown, but I'm going to rub your face on the mat.
18:04I'm going to beat you up, and it's going to be funny to me.
18:11WrestleMania 9, it was freaking phenomenal.
18:15Doink is wrestling.
18:16Doink the Clown!
18:17He's losing.
18:18He keeps trying to go underneath the stage, and all of a sudden, this other Doink the Clown pops up.
18:25They beat the shit out of Crush at the end, and I'm like, holy shit, like that came out of nowhere, and then they did the mirror.
18:32He felt like he don't know why Vince did that.
18:35He felt like he was being set up for failure.
18:38Man, he was right, though.
18:40He called it.
18:40As Doink the Clown rules the WrestleMania ring, the inner struggles of Matt Bourne will soon bring his turn in the spotlight to an end, even as Doink lives on.
18:57As Matt Bourne enjoys the highest levels of wrestling fame, his demons threaten to destroy everything he's worked to create.
19:04There were times when he would take off, go somewhere, didn't see him for three or four days.
19:11It happened a lot.
19:13He was fired for drug abuse.
19:15He tested dirty, and Vince let him go.
19:19Matt tried to blame everyone else except himself for that, but I wasn't surprised.
19:26We were staying in Boston and smoking some weed in the hotel, and I was fired.
19:32Period.
19:32Why was I doing the drugs?
19:34That's what I did.
19:36That's what addicts do.
19:37As he would tell it, he lost his job, and I left him because he no longer had his job, but that wasn't the case.
19:45He started to get really angry and drank a lot more.
19:51He seemed to be going out a lot more, and I did know he was doing a lot of coke.
19:56He became very physically abusive to me and my daughter.
20:00He was sitting on the couch.
20:01He was a smoker, and he was just complaining and bitching about this and that, and then he would just take cigarettes, and he was throwing these cigarettes, lit cigarettes at me.
20:11You know, and he came over, and he grabbed me and pulled me off the chair with my daughter in my arms.
20:16She was only a couple months old.
20:18She went flying, and that's when I knew I can't do this, and I can't do this to her.
20:22And I packed her up, clothes on her back, one bag, and drove off.
20:27I tell people the story, and they're like, what?
20:30Really?
20:30You were what?
20:31You were married to who?
20:33A lot of people, when you tell them that, they're impressed.
20:35And it's like, you know, don't be impressed.
20:37It's not a good story.
20:39Not a good story at all.
20:40I mean, he literally had a million-dollar home being built.
20:44They had just moved into it.
20:46He had his bathtub engraved with 18-karat gold.
20:49Doink.
20:50He was still proud of Doink, but he really struggled.
20:53At the end of the day, I know deep down it killed him because he knew he was good, and it got up over drugs.
20:59The day he went home, as he got fired, he said he stayed up for eight days straight and did nonstop coke and started hallucinating because he couldn't believe he lost everything he just gained.
21:14Though Matt Bourne has been fired, the character of Doink the Clown makes his return at the very next show.
21:20Only this time, there's another wrestler under the grease paint.
21:24A character cannot usually be readily replaced, but in this case, I think the sentiment was he's a clown.
21:31We'll put someone else in the exact same makeup, and it was successful, as portrayed by Steve Kern and later by Ray Apollo.
21:40But it was, oh, it was never as good as it was when Matt wore the paint.
21:44They figured since Steve did this with Matt, that maybe he could pull it off.
21:49Then they brought Dink, because they were trying to keep it alive.
21:53I mean, Doink the Clown and Dink, they were mainstays.
21:57You can stick anybody in the Doink suit, and it's a great character that way.
22:01So Matt came and gone, and a lot of folks don't even realize he came and gone.
22:05That's when he went way down.
22:08How he came to Elwood City, I don't know because it's such a small town, but it was meant to be me.
22:13That's where he met my mom.
22:15He worked for a telemarketing company right around the corner.
22:18He went from a millionaire to us, you know, like just making a weekly check, and it didn't work with him up there.
22:26He had some issues, you know, with his alcohol and his drug addiction, which he didn't do in front of me, but I still knew there was something weird about him, right?
22:37You know, he paid the rent.
22:38He paid the bills.
22:39He didn't want me working.
22:41He didn't want me socializing.
22:43Not too many men talked to me, put it that way.
22:46And that's the way Matt wanted it.
22:48He knew what he was doing.
22:49One night we were at a bar, and my ex-boyfriend ended up walking in and came up and spit on me for some reason.
22:56And I saw Matt coming at him, and I'm like, dude, you need to run.
23:00Well, Matt picked him up by his earlobes, legit earlobes, off the ground, and was screaming in his face, spitting all over him because he didn't have his two teeth here.
23:08The guy went out, got in his car.
23:11Matt had the back of his car lifted up.
23:13The two wheels off the ground, spinning like crazy, and he's holding the car there.
23:19And the cops came.
23:20They maced him, tased him.
23:22I'm like, might want to shoot him in the leg.
23:24He's not going to stop.
23:26So then they'd put him in jail, and he kept telling him, take your badge and your guns off.
23:31Fight me like a man.
23:32And that's when he ripped the sink out.
23:34And the jail cell, like, literally ripped it out of its plumbing.
23:38Stripped of the beloved character he'd brought to life, Matt returns to the wrestling business.
23:43But the business has changed.
23:46Nobody wanted Maniac Matt Bourne.
23:48Nobody wanted Pig Josh the Lumberjack.
23:50They all wanted Doink.
23:51I mean, he still had the costume.
23:53He knew how to put the makeup on.
23:55He could do it himself.
23:56Matt even takes his Doink character to the last place anyone would expect a clown.
24:01The violent renegade company known as Extreme Championship Wrestling.
24:05This is ECW.
24:08That clown is in the wrong place.
24:10I was in ECW when Matt Bourne came in.
24:13And it was effective.
24:14Because on the surface, ECW fans hated it because it was Doink the Clown.
24:19This is ECW!
24:22But underneath that hatred, there was that level of respect because he was Matt Bourne.
24:30How does it feel to live in my hands?
24:35I think the Bourne Again gimmick was half clown, half Matt Bourne.
24:42Vince McMahon found out he was on all these independent promoters cards because it was his copyright.
24:48It was.
24:48So Vince McMahon sent legal papers.
24:52When we created that thing, I had to sign the copyrights over to Vince.
24:56You know, I was kind of bitter about it.
24:58They had never sent me any residual money for all my dolls and videos and stuff,
25:02which I was supposed to get a piece of.
25:04So I had countersued him for my residuals.
25:07Make West Torre Torre of Wrestling!
25:10It's the best!
25:12So Vince was like, all right, that's fair.
25:15You can't use Doink, and you get your residuals every month.
25:19As Matt struggles to rebuild his career, his home life is upended by the arrival of two more children.
25:26I can remember when Tegan was born, he looked at her and he looked at me and he said,
25:30she's going to be something someday.
25:31And he adored her.
25:33And of course, his boy, my son, Matthew, he adored him too.
25:38Because that was his second chance.
25:40He had two other kids.
25:41He didn't get to see them.
25:43He didn't get to raise them.
25:44But me and him, when we ended up having two kids, they were his life.
25:49I just try to remember the good times.
25:52And when he was clean, he was a completely different human being.
25:56I mean, he was so put together, has nothing negative to say.
26:01I mean, he was my dad.
26:03I think he thought, I got to bring myself back because I'm not myself anymore.
26:07Like, I'm a wrestler.
26:08That's what I do.
26:09Though striving to reclaim his glory in the wrestling industry, Matt's battles with addiction continue to threaten his aspirations.
26:17Though Matt struggles to be a good father and family man, his ongoing issues with drugs and alcohol make him unpredictable and dangerous.
26:33He went and got clean a few times and I stood by his side the whole time because everybody else just washed him away like he was nothing.
26:41If he was on too much drugs or too much alcohol, he would just get very violent, mean, and be crazy.
26:49If I could be upstairs sleeping with my son, he'd be like, why were you out tonight with so-and-so?
26:55I'm like, what?
26:57I thought, this guy needs help.
26:58Like, I just can't turn my back on him.
27:00He got me one time.
27:02Super good.
27:03He went to the gym.
27:04He would go to the gym for like two, three hours a day.
27:06So, I was just reading the newspaper on our couch.
27:10He walked up the steps, accused me of cheating on him.
27:13The next I know, I'm in the hospital.
27:16He beat me up real good.
27:18I couldn't see for two weeks.
27:19My eyeballs were shut.
27:20He broke my nose.
27:22And yes, you're probably going to say, why did you go back with him?
27:25Down in my heart, like the next day, he saw me after he got out of jail.
27:30He was like, what happened to your face?
27:32Did I do that?
27:33He literally don't remember any of it.
27:36He said, I am truly, truly sorry.
27:40And I forgave him.
27:42As Matt's drug use becomes even more extreme, his downward spiral intensifies.
27:48Him and my mom fought.
27:49You know, he loved to drink.
27:51And when he drank, he said some really effed up shit.
27:54Finally, one day, I don't know what it was.
27:57I grabbed both their hands.
27:58I said, Matt, I can't do this anymore.
28:00I have been here through thick and thin with you.
28:04I said, I'm not taking anything with me.
28:06I am done.
28:08She hurried up, packed the bag.
28:09She was scared.
28:10I remember her being so scared.
28:12And I walked out the door and he didn't come after me because I thought he was going to.
28:16I thought, Jesus, if this is going to be the day, he's going to kill me.
28:20And he went, I understand.
28:22And he let me go.
28:23It takes a lot of balls to leave somebody like that when they don't have the ability to get clean or get better.
28:31Strung out and landing at rock bottom, Matt's behavior in the ring becomes as unpredictable as his behavior at home.
28:38When Matt didn't like you, it was a wrap.
28:42And he's not going to let it go.
28:43Like, he's that type of person to not let anything go.
28:48We're up in White Plains, New York.
28:50And to look on the board, I'm working with Matt.
28:52I go, cool.
28:53You know, hey, Matt, how's it going?
28:54He goes, well, actually, how about I come out?
28:55I hit you with a chair, you hit me with a two-by-four.
29:00I'm like, Matt, there's a hundred people out there, brother.
29:02I'll come out, I'll cheer USA.
29:04We'll have a nice walk and talk.
29:05Jim had something he did that was and still is effective.
29:09And Matt wanted more.
29:11It so happens that my opponent tonight, we go way, way, way, way back.
29:18Long story short, we're in the ring and he gave me a nut shot.
29:23All right, gentlemen.
29:24Referee tried to hurt me.
29:25Hacks on going to work.
29:26It's a shoot.
29:28So I rolled up, I pushed him in the corner, and I'm asking him,
29:30do you want to work or do you want to shoot, brother?
29:33Let's go.
29:34You want to work?
29:35You want to fight?
29:36You want to work?
29:36Tell me.
29:37He rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair.
29:39Well, I got my two-by-four.
29:40So I tell the referee, I said, you know,
29:42tell him we'll finish in the dressing room like you're supposed to do.
29:45So I wait and I wait and I wait.
29:47No, Matt, he came out of the ring, went right out the fire exit,
29:50got in his car and left.
29:51It was pre-planned attack.
29:54You have to make a real attempt at not liking Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
30:01He's not a divisive personality in our business.
30:04Like, everybody likes Jim Duggan.
30:07Like, you know, for him to make that move for 30 years after the incident,
30:13that's carrying a grudge.
30:17By 2013, Matt has moved to Plano, Texas, where he lives with a new girlfriend.
30:22I met Matt in 1988, 89, and I was actually me, Nurse Cratchit.
30:29Here comes Nurse Cratchit.
30:31I would just, you know, bing him with my bedpan, knock him out.
30:35Oh!
30:37Hi, my name is Connie Cook, and I was Matt Bourne's girlfriend.
30:40He was crazy, I was crazy, and we just hit it off.
30:452011, he found me on Facebook.
30:49Then he just never left my side.
30:51I loved him, and I wanted to make it work.
30:53That's why I moved to Texas.
30:55Some days it was good, some days it wouldn't.
30:58After I moved to Texas, I was stressing about my mom.
31:01She was very sick, and he took care of my mom.
31:04He cooked for her, he gave her her medicine.
31:07I knew he had my back, and I definitely had his.
31:11It was June of 2013, and I was getting up for softball practice.
31:15My mom texted me and said, I think your dad's dead, because we saw it on TMZ.
31:20My mom said she called my dad's cell phone, and Connie answered the phone.
31:24She was, like, crying hysterically.
31:26My mom said, what the f*** happened, Connie?
31:29I said, Connie, do not tell me he's dead.
31:33I know Connie killed my dad.
31:35I will never not think that she did.
31:37She took him away from me, and I hate her for it.
31:46At home in Elwood, Michelle and Tegan are shocked to learn that Matt has passed.
31:51Tragic news confirmed by a phone call with Matt's girlfriend, Connie Cook.
31:56I said, okay, so, like, what happened?
31:59She goes, well, he stole all my mom's drugs.
32:02And she said, yeah, he's dead.
32:04And I'm thinking, oh, my God, this wasn't in the cards.
32:06How am I supposed to take care of these kids, right?
32:09They were 12 and 15.
32:12Sorry, getting emotional.
32:14But it changed everything in our lives.
32:17Everything.
32:18The night before my dad died, my mom was on the phone with him, and he said, Michelle, I called you because I'm leaving Connie.
32:26He went, I told the crazy b***h I'm leaving her.
32:28I said, oh, Jesus Christ.
32:30We giggled, and then he went, well, you know what?
32:33If anything does happen to me, Michelle, don't let it go.
32:36I said, Matt, what are you talking about?
32:38Why did you say that?
32:40He went, seriously, just don't let it go.
32:42The day that all this happened, he was moaning in the kitchen.
32:49And I was like, what is wrong with you?
32:51Nothing.
32:52So then he does it again, moans again.
32:55And so he turns around and falls to his knee, and he grabbed my hand and goes, marry me.
32:59I said, oh, my God, you're really on my nerve right now.
33:03I think he may have been having a heart attack, and he just wouldn't tell me.
33:08And he wore glasses.
33:09And so he was like, Connie, I can't find my glasses.
33:12So I go read Tracy Stapp's kitchen, my mom's bedroom.
33:17Well, I noticed that one of the bottles was moved.
33:21I was like, Matt, that medicine is from hospice.
33:25I was like, we're going to be in trouble if you don't tell me where those are.
33:30And he said to me, well, I guess I'll just go to jail.
33:33And I was like, that's just crazy.
33:35So I go to bed, and later on, I don't even know what time it was,
33:39I hear somebody beating on the door.
33:40And there's a girl at the door.
33:42She was like, my brothers found your husband laying on the ground outside.
33:47They think he's dead.
33:48It was like a gated community kind of place where everybody could see everything that's
33:53going on in your life.
33:55And there was witnesses.
33:57They saw him.
33:58He was stumbling, falling over air conditioners.
34:01He was bruised.
34:02So I heard sirens, and I was like, Matt, you need to get up, because I think someone's called
34:07the police on you for being drunk out here, because they said you were on the ground.
34:11So we get him to his feet.
34:13We set him down in the recliner by the door.
34:15That time, I didn't know he was ODing.
34:18Well, I went in there and got in the bed, and I could hear him snoring.
34:21So I didn't think anything was wrong with him, because he snored.
34:25You were watching him overdose, and you did nothing.
34:29If you saw someone puking in their mouth and gagging on it, wouldn't you think there was
34:33something wrong?
34:33According to Plano police reports, on the morning Matt died, Connie awoke at 6.30 a.m.
34:40and saw Matt gurgling and foaming at the mouth.
34:43After calling her friend, Connie went back to bed.
34:46At 9 a.m., two and a half hours after she first woke up, Connie called 911.
34:52We're going to address really specifically some of these allegations.
34:57Okay.
34:57That once Matt was already in the house, and you put him down in the recliner, that you
35:01heard gurgling, what did you do next?
35:04That was like early in the morning.
35:06My alarm usually went off 6 o'clock, 6.30.
35:09I heard him all night snoring, but when I came out of the bedroom, there's something coming
35:14out of his nose, and so I grabbed the rag, and I was like, hey, what, do you need to get
35:19up?
35:19That's nasty.
35:20And he was making a different noise.
35:23So I called my friend in Tennessee, and I leaned over the counter and was trying to let
35:29her listen to it.
35:30And I said, do you hear that?
35:31She said, Connie, that's a death rattle.
35:33She was like, hang up right now and call 911.
35:36It's not like I just left him sitting there.
35:39I mean, it might have been five minutes until I called my friend.
35:43I didn't go back to bed.
35:45Because it wasn't until 9 that you called 911.
35:49No.
35:49They had that wrong.
35:50I didn't go back to bed.
35:51As soon as I hung up talking to her, I called 911.
35:54And they snatched him up and put him on the gurney, trying to get the thing down his throat.
36:00And they were like, we got to go now.
36:02I mean, dude was on top of him, pounding on him.
36:04I'm just like, now I'm really freaking out.
36:06And then the detective came in and I told her what I knew.
36:10We went in the room.
36:11She found the bottle.
36:13I think there was maybe 30 missing out of the bottle.
36:16So I don't know how many he actually had taken.
36:19And so I left and went to the hospital and went and saw him.
36:22And so I'm screaming at Matt to get up.
36:28And then they were trying to make me leave.
36:30And I literally wouldn't leave the room because they were trying to put him in the dark.
36:34And Matt hated the dark.
36:38What was the official cause of Matt's death?
36:41Overdose of hydrocodone and morphine and an enlarged heart.
36:47Connie believes Matt's heart issues were a secret he had kept for a very long time.
36:53When he was in WWF, he went to the hospital because he was having, I guess, chest pains.
37:00And so they hooked him up to an EKG machine.
37:04I think they wanted to do something, but Matt never did.
37:08And then when he passed away, I called the coroner's office to find out exactly what they found out.
37:16His heart was six times the normal size.
37:19And I was like, what does that mean?
37:20They were like, substance abuse, stress.
37:23I think he worried about it, but he just didn't tell nobody about it.
37:26I called the ambulance when I realized that there was something wrong with him.
37:31I did everything to help him.
37:34With his backstory, and he has a track record for being on drugs.
37:38On his death certificate, it was accidental overdose.
37:42Of course, it's easy to put that down because of who he was.
37:44But no.
37:45When I hung up with him, she was about to bring him out a drink.
37:48He probably got a thing of crown.
37:50She mixed some liquid morphine in there, and he's probably up out of his mind.
37:54And he sat on the recliner.
37:56He laid there and died all night, and he was foaming out the mouth.
37:59I'm confused.
38:00Why'd you wait all night to call 911?
38:02There was foul play.
38:04I'm just, I'm just flabbergasted that someone wouldn't even think that of me.
38:08I feel horrible.
38:09I'm horrified that that child would think that.
38:12The allegations are crazy.
38:13They're not true.
38:14I did not kill him.
38:15I did not put anything in his drink.
38:17I love him.
38:18I still love him to this day.
38:20And still wish that he was here.
38:22Why would I want to kill him?
38:24And if it meant me dying and leaving here for him to be alive, I would be dead and he would be here.
38:30An investigation by the Plano Police Department found no evidence of any criminal conduct,
38:37no evidence that Matt Bourne was deliberately drugged with liquid morphine by Connie Cook,
38:42and no evidence of negligence in her response to Matt Bourne's overdose.
38:47On June 28th, 2013, Matt Bourne, known to wrestling fans as Doink the Clown, dies.
39:00According to the autopsy, it was from an overdose of opiates.
39:04I remember that day very vividly going into that funeral home, and my brother, like, that
39:10was his first funeral ever.
39:11He was like, why is he so cold?
39:12And I lost it.
39:14I mean, it was, that was, that was really tough.
39:15The worst thing of all this was watching them two look over their dad in that casting.
39:24And there was nothing I could do, a hug, a kiss, nothing that I could take away their pain.
39:29You know, I'm not going to lie to you, it's been, it's been terrible.
39:33I mean, I struggled with depression for a little bit.
39:36I lost a lot of friends.
39:37And I kind of felt like my dad in that moment, now that I look back at it,
39:41he lost so many people because of his actions.
39:43And it was like, damn, now I know how this dude felt.
39:46No wonder why he did drugs.
39:47Because he felt like shit all the time.
39:49I heard comments that people have made about me, you know, that the reason I got doinked
39:57over it is because I'm a sick mother I need some serious help.
40:00There's times I think that too, you know, but who isn't, you know?
40:05I mean, come on.
40:06If you're not getting into the ring with some jabroni that puts on some clown outfit and
40:12calls himself doink, it's Matt Bourne.
40:15Matt lived fast and hard, and so it did not come as a shock when I learned that Matt had
40:23passed.
40:24He seemed to have a lot going for him.
40:27Come on, come die!
40:28But ultimately, Matt's biggest adversary was not a wrestler, but his demons from a substance
40:36standpoint.
40:38And the temperament issue he struggled with.
40:41His legacy is of a guy who willingly gave more to the wrestling business than it gave
40:50back.
40:52And a guy whose weaknesses were exploited by the nature of the beast.
40:58Constant travel, the strain on relationships, the pain involved that opens the door to medication.
41:05Matt Bourne meant a lot to wrestling, and to anyone who saw Matt at his best, which was
41:12not in the national spotlight, but in those regional territories.
41:16And Bourne rolls him back.
41:19He connected, and he made a difference.
41:22This picture is actually two weeks before Matt passed with his son Matthew at the airport
41:30leaving.
41:31Very sad.
41:32Yeah, Matthew was always sad when Dad left.
41:33Yeah, it tore him up.
41:34This picture is one of my favorites, because it's one of the last I got with him.
41:38But this picture, he was like, come on, T, we got to get one picture before I leave.
41:43And I'm like, all right.
41:44This is one of my favorites.
41:45And his big hands back there, too.
41:47It looks like a spider, but it's Matt's huge-ass hand.
41:51Sad to see him go.
41:52This is all we have left of him.
41:54Yep.
41:54We all have these troubled souls.
41:57We're all troubled souls, if we look at it honestly.
42:00But Matt had talent.
42:02Matt had a legacy.
42:03He made Doink the Clown bigger than it ever should have been, in my opinion.
42:07And that gets covered up by some of his transgressions outside the ring.
42:12From time to time, when Matt had a few drinks, he would open up about the pain of being an absentee dad.
42:22And I really think that bothered Matt.
42:25He had a lot of regrets about marriages, about his kids.
42:30And I've seen that firsthand.
42:32I never gave up on him through all that bad stuff we did go through.
42:36I knew he was a good person.
42:39The horrible things that my kids read about their dad, oh, just Doink was a drug addict.
42:45He was a piece of shit, washed-up wrestler, that he was not that.
42:49Yes, he did do his share of drugs, and he did make mistakes, just like every other human being.
42:54But I just want people to know that that's not what he was.
42:58I want him to be remembered as a great father.
43:01He wanted to raise those two kids.
43:03I miss him, not going to lie, but they miss him way more.
43:11One thing my mom always told me, she's like, well, Tegan, when you were born, your dad said, she's going to be something someday.
43:17And every time my mom says that, it makes me feel like he's still here a little bit.
43:20And I'm like, I mean, I'm not no Doink the Clown.
43:23I'm not no famous wrestler.
43:25But when I graduated college, I graduated with almost a 4.0.
43:28I graduated magna cum laude, took these CPA exams that were so hard, got a job right out of college.
43:35I'm a certified public accountant.
43:37And then you just get the little negative part where I'm like, damn, like, he should be here.
43:43We had our little rough patches.
43:45We butted heads, and now that I'm getting older, I realize we butted heads so much because we were so much alike.
43:51And now I wish I could just say, you know what, Dad, I'm sorry.
43:54He wasn't perfect, but he was my dad, so.
