The Moondogs were a ProfessionalWrestling TagTeam that started in [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} WWF]] before making its home in Memphis. It started in 1981 with Moondog King (Ed White) and Moondog Rex (Randy Culley), until White was unable to enter the U.S. from Canada. As a result, they brought in Larry Booker to replace him as Moondog Spot. They had one run with the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-world-t.html WWE World Tag Team Titles]], defeating Wrestling/RickMartel and Tony Garea on March 7, 1981 and losing them back on July 21st. Rex and Spot then went down to Memphis, where they became pioneers of [[GarbageWrestler hardcore wrestling]], with one wild, vicious brawl after another. Culley went back to WWE in 1987 to create Wrestling/{{Demolition}}, but he had to be replaced because too many of WWE's Northeastern fans recognized him under the face paint. Over time, the team came to include Moondog Spike (Bill Smithson), Moondog Cujo (Lanny Kean, aka [[Characters/WWERockNWrestling WWE's Cousin Junior]]), Moondog Splat (Bill White), Moondog Rover (Paul [=McKnight=]) and many others. In total, the Moondogs would hold the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/tn/uswa/uswa-t.html USWA World Tag Team Titles]] 16 times in different combinations. (4x Spot & Spike; 4x Spot & Splat; 2x Spike & Cujo; 2x Spot & Cujo; 3x Spot & Rex; 1x Spot & Rover). Sadly, Spot died of an in-ring heart attack on November 29, 2003. Cujo passed away on January 13, 2009. In 1992, ''Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter'' and ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated'' both named the Spot/Cujo-Jerry Lawler[=/=]Jeff Jarrett feud "Feud of the Year."
