I know that there are a lot of people in the Portland area who grew up on Portland Wrestling, so thought I'd share this sad news here.

Matt Borne, son of another Portland Wrestling legend "Tough" Tony Borne, was found dead this morning, at the age of 55.

Borne was known nationally in the WWF as the original Doink The Clown, but had a very successful career prior to that in the territorial system throughout the 1980s, with much of his success being found here in Portland. In fact as recently as earlier this year Borne wrestled a few matches for the new Portland Wrestling Uncut series.

Not a fan, but I knew Matt and Tony. My dad was close friends with Yogi Hassin, the Terrible Turk. They were in the Marines together. Yogi was not the Lew Thez Terrible Turk. He was the Portland and PNW promoter that had the midgets.
