| It is with deep sadness to report that “Tough” Tony Borne (real name Anthony Osborne) passed away this morning at the age of 83. Borne, who is the father of the original Doink The Clown (Matt Borne), had been in poor health as of late. He passed away just as his son Matt was leaving the house to get a flight to Dallas, TX. He is most noted for his time in the Pacific Northwest where he held the tag-team titles an incredible 11 times with his tag team partner Lonnie Mayne (later Moondog Mayne). We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Anthony Osborne. "Tough" Tony Borne & Lonnie "Moondog" MaynePortland wrestling tag-team partners arguing. Borne, the father of Matt Borne (aka Big Josh, Doink the Clown, etc.) is on the right. Circa early 70s. | |

| Wasn't he a part of this year's HOF class? I'm thinking back and the name is familiar.
RIP.
Three wrestlers in like a week, fro whatever reason it was. It's really a shame! RIP to them all. | |
