In Your House 15: Doink vs Horowitz was the fifteenth In Your House event produced by World Wrestling Federation which took place on 11th December 1994

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Doink The Clown vs Barry Horowitz in an unsanctioned match. The whole show is built around this one match as if Doink wins, no one will ever be able to defeat him and he will complete his domination of WWF.

Act 1

Doink debuted as a pennywise character, a really creepy clown, his first ever match was against Barry Horowitz who he completely dominated. He took things too far as he was celebrating the birthday of a kid but the segment quickly went dark as he choked out the kid and killed him in the middle of the ring, he was indefinitely suspended. At In Your House 4 he returned during Ted Dibiase vs Barry Horowitz as a red balloon showed up and ended with Horowitz getting choked out in the ring. Barry Horowitz explains to his long time rival Ted Dibiase that Doink is dangerous and he needs everyone's help to stop him including Dibiase's group Million Dollar Corporation and Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Lawler who got caught in the middle of this. Horowitz explains Doink's backstory: He was friends with normal him as a kid, he had a clown for his birthday party, the clown suddenly went haywire and bit his eye off, and he saw Horowitz watch it all happen and not doing anything. Doink has been tormenting Horowitz for the past 24 years, balloons popping, evil laughs surrounding him in the strangest times, he didn't realize who Doink was until he murdered that child because it was the exact same scenario that had happened 24 years ago. Horowitz knows Doink has to be defeated or he will take over Smackdown and potentially WWF and he's the only one who knows his weak spots and can stop him but he needs people's help. At Survivor Series 1992 Horowitz teamed with Ted Dibiase, IRS, Virgil, Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Lawler against Doink The Clown in a handicap elimination match but slowly Doink managed to eliminate all of them, he lastly choked out Horowitz, the lights went out and a red balloon with Horowitz's broken picture attached to it started flying through the sky

Act 2

Horowitz was presumed dead but he returned at the 1993 Royal Rumble as a dark version of himself entered the ring just to eliminate IRS and then he disappeared through the lights. Horowitz started teaming up regularly with Doink as he was now completely void of his previous experiences and just working exclusively with this demon. At Wrestlemania 9, they defeated IRS and Virgil as Horowitz revealed he had the same powers as Doink.

Everyone on the Smackdown roster was starting to be afraid of Doink and his potential WWF takeover, Doink and Horowitz defeated Steiner Brothers at In Your House 7 to become world tag team champions. Yokozuna(who had been attacked by Doink in 1992 and froze everytime he saw him) managed to get out of his brainwashed state and beat up Doink and Horowitz as Doink decided to forfeit the world tag titles to him and Duane Gill. This was all because Doink was moving up as at Survivor Series he interrupted Sid vs Undertaker for the World Heaviweight Championship and cashed in his MITB contract to become world champion, Doink tried to destroy Taker's head with mind games, Undertaker wasn't phased by all the flickering lights and sneak attacks in the dark, he finally managed to get on his head when he started targeting Bam Bam Bigelow who Taker had taken a liking because of a friendly match they had for the title in october. Doink kidnapped Bam Bam and tied him up in a room in the sewers, there were a couple of weeks of buildup with Taker getting to the sewers and being attacked by a now brainwashed Bam Bam who helped Doink for a while until he didn't need him anymore and left both him and Taker passed out in the sewers. Doink seems like he has control over Bam Bam's soul as he kept using him for random matches and beatdowns but he would be fine after 10 minutes. At Wrestlemania 10, Doink went overboard ending the match in a DQ win for Undertaker.

They continued their feud against Taker and Bam Bam as Bam Bam started mentioning a "plan B". This plan went into motion at Smackdown 92 as Taker and Bam Bam faked having a match against each other so Horowitz showed up and a bunch of the Smackdown roster started tying him up, Doink was pissed at this as Taker and Bam Bam successfully kidnapped Horowitz. Taker and Bam Bam tied him to a chair on "death valley" as they tried their best to bring Horowitz back to his state before Survivor Series 1992 as they felt like Horowitz was the only one who could truly take down Doink. Eventually, Doink found death valley, Bam Bam threatened to put Horowitz on fire but Doink wasn't scared as they needed Horowitz so they wouldn't do that, Bam Bam had a preposition: Taker vs Doink in a steel cage match, no interferences, no mindtricks, if Doink wins, Horowitz is let go, if Taker wins, Doink is defeated and leaves forever. Doink accepted but still managed to free Horowitz. At Summerslam 1994, Doink defeated Undertaker and Horowitz showed up through the lights to celebrate with him when he suddenly started choking out Doink in one of the biggest turns ever

Act 3

Horowitz was completely back to his normal self as he revealed that Taker and Bam Bam's weeks of torture actually worked as Horowitz started remembering everything he worked for, his main goal was just to completely kill Doink and put an end to his terror but he knew it wouldn't be easy as he had specifically signed a contract with Doink that prevented him from having any type of match against him but he and GM of Smackdown Harley Race found a loophole as if Horowitz won a tournament and got a world title shot then he could face Doink. He entered the G1 where he found out he still had his powers but he decided not to use them as he wanted to be fair, his last match was against The Undertaker who told Horowitz that no man could defeat Doink except for him so Taker laid down and let Horowitz win the Smackdown Block. He went on to the G1 Finals but British Bulldog defeated him to everyone's disappointment.

Horowitz didn't quit as he became the captain of Team Smackdown for Survivor Series and hopefully with the Survivor Series Lottery he could get a world title shot, him, Perfect, Bam Bam Bigelow and Undertaker defeated Team RAW. The following friday, Horowitz opened his briefcase and it was revealed that he would have a european title shot while Perfect got the world title shot, Perfect was willing to abdicate from it to let Horowitz have the shot but Horowitz refused saying it wouldn't be fair, he doesn't need the title, he just needs to kill Doink with his own hands. Harley Race decided to give him an unsanctioned brawl against Doink for tonight as everyone cheered, it wasn't technically a match, just a way to get Horowitz and Doink in the same ring. Horowitz has shown Matt Borne's face to the world but he says that while the face might be underneath the costume, the soul isn't. He promised that he was gonna send Doink straight to hell, Doink said he gave everything Horowitz could have ever wanted and he spit all over it so he's gonna make sure Horowitz doesn't leave this show alive. The hype has been huge for this match that is almost 3 years in the making and basically the soul of Smackdown, if Doink wins, the fate of WWF is doomed as he'll run it forever, if Horowitz wins, WWF finally gets rid of the demon that is Doink The Clown

Due to the Survivor Series Lottery, Bam Bam Bigelow and Undertaker got a tag title shot but Doink attacked them all during that segment except for Bam Bam as he promised he could give him fame, power and success and Bam Bam shockingly shook hands with Doink as he joined the devil. Horowitz wanted answers and Bam Bam simply said that he knows Horowitz won't defeat Doink and it's better to get on the master of Smackdown's side before it all comes crumbling down, Doink revealed that since Taker was injured he would team up with Bam Bam tonight

Jeff Jarrett was forced to be bossed by Razor Ramon for at least 6 months, at Survivor Series he helped Ramon win the european title, something that Ramon didn't even ask as Jarrett shook hands with him. Ramon didn't buy that Jarrett would become his ally that fast without some hatred still there so he forced Jarrett to beat up his former partner The Roadie which he did even after The Roadie pleaded that he could get Jarrett out of Ramon's reign. Jarrett and Roadie will face each other tonight

Ramon defeated Shawn to win the european title at Survivor Series, this feud that has been going on since Summerslam will finally end tonight as Jarrett and Savio Vega are banned from ringside

During a Mr.Perfect vs Shawn Michaels match, Razor Ramon, Jeff Jarrett and Savio Vega interrupted it to beat up both men. Since Ramon and Jarrett already have matches tonight, Perfect decided to challenge Savio Vega

Doink gets close to him, is about to urunage him into all the tables and ladders when the lights go out and Horowitz has teleported to the ring, Doink also teleports to the ring, he runs towards Horowitz who grabs him in a suplex motion and JUMPS OVER THE TOP ROPE AS THEY BOTH GO THROUGH HELL(they fall onto all the burning tables, ladders, barbed wire, chairs and more) Horowitz gets up and starts putting more weapons all on top of Doink, the red lights slowly start becoming normal signaling the death of Doink The Clown. Horowitz sees this and starts regretting it as he takes out all of the weapons to see a dead Matt Borne, no paint on his face, no nothing, just Horowitz's childhood friend. Horowitz is saying "i'm sorry" continously as he leaves but as soon as he's about to get into gorilla position he drops dead on the stage as the show ends with the camera on a laid out Horowitz as it pans to ringside and all the weapons in a mess outside the ring
