Lanny Keane Jr.

Lanny Neal Kean Jr. was an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with WWE from 1985 to 1986 under the ring name Cousin Junior, as well as for his appearances on the independent circuit as Moondog Cujo, a member of The Moondogs. Kean made his professional wrestling debut in Kentucky in 1983, where he competed as "Luscious" Lanny Kean. In 1984, Kean began wrestling for WWE as a jobber, performing as Lanny Kean. In 1985, he was given the gimmick of Cousin Junior, a member of Hillbilly Jim's hillbilly family stable. The Hillbilly family were portrayed as simple rural Southerners who performed square dances in the ring. They feuded with wrestlers including Jesse Ventura, Bob Orton, Jr., and Roddy Piper. Kean's character was modeled on the character of Jethro Bodine from the television program The Beverly Hillbillies. Kean left WWE in 1986. In 1986, Kean joined the Continental Wrestling Association under the ring name Hillbilly Junior, where he formed a tag team with Giant Hillbilly. The duo won the AWA Southern Tag Team Championship on August 30, 1986, by defeating the MOD Squad. Kean wrestled sporadically on the independent circuit throughout the mid-1980s, including in the NWA in 1988 under the name Cousin Junior once again. In 1992, Kean joined the United States Wrestling Association as Moondog Cujo, a member of The Moondogs. Later, he was renamed Big Daddy Cyrus and feuded with Jerry Lawler, who held the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship. He formed a tag team with Crusher Bones in 1995, main-eventing the Mid-South Coliseum against the likes of Lawler, Bill Dundee, and Sid Vicious. In 1996 he lost to John Tenta on WCW Saturday Night. In 1997, Dutch Mantel gave Kean the ring name "Bloody" Ox Brody, which was a tribute to Ox Baker and Bruiser Brody. Kean took several years off of wrestling but decided to return to competition as Moondog Cujo. In one match on April 27, 2007, after his comeback, Moondog Cujo Managed by Sal Corrente defeated The Barbarian in a Hardcore match in Memphis Wrestling.[1] He also resumed his feud with Lawler.[2] Kean wrestled his last match on December 6, 2008, in a tag match.
