Biography

Barry Dale Wolfe, occasionally billed as 'Dale Wolfe' and occasionally appearing as Doink the Clown, is an American retired professional wrestler. Wolfe was trained by fellow wrestler Ken Johnson, who helped Shawn Michaels enter professional wrestling (Johnson was later a co-owner of Texas Wrestling Academy with Michaels). He debuted on July 5, 1982 in San Antonio, Texas.

Wolfe is best known for his long tenure as a jobber in WWE, making his debut there as Dusty Wolfe in March 1987. In June 1989, WWE began billing him as Dale Wolfe so as to distinguish him from Dusty Rhodes, who had just left World Championship Wrestling (WCW) for WWE (the two wrestled each other on television later that year). During his time in WWE, Wolfe wrestled as both a babyface and a heel. He was respected for his ability to work with, and put over, major stars, working with many of WWE's top names from 1987 to 1993.
