iliketurtles Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 Moondog Spot, real name Larry Booker, collapsed in the ring during tonight's event at the Mid South Coliseum in Memphis and was taken from the building by ambulance and transported to Methodist Central Hospital. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful and he passed away shortly after suffering the collapse. His family was with him at the show and accompanied him to the hospital. Spot had been a legendary figure in the Tennessee area for years and had also wrestled as Larry Latham. The entire staff of 1Wrestling.com sends condolences to the family of Moondog Spot. Damn.
JHawk Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 He had to be in his 60s. So that's two. Who's next?
Downhome Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 I...I just fucking don't know what to say. Rest in peace Larry Booker Larry Booker, and thank you for the memories.
bob_barron Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 There's a picture of me and the Moondogs in their full getup from when I was 7. I look freaked out of my mind. RIP Moondog Spot
geniusMoment Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 Yeah, but thats how old in dog years?
Use Your Illusion Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 Yeah, but thats how old in dog years? Fucktard.
Ace309 Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 That's horrible. What a terrible thing to have happen, and for fans to witness.
JJMc Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 Weird. And I just watched the Honky Tonk Man shoot the other day where he talks about teaming w/ Larry, the Tupelo concession stand brawl, etc. Well, he's in a better place now.
Mecha Mummy Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 I saw him on TNA earlier this year, and... well, I'm not going to lie or gloss it over. He was terrible. Even then, it was nice to see him still around, and 50 is STILL too damn young. RIP, Spot.
Slingshot Suplex Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 I got to meet him briefly in Memphis a couple summers ago and he wrestled semi-regularly for LAW in southeast Missouri earlier this year so I've seen him maybe 6-8 times and the guy was still insanely over. A fun brawler and seemed like a nice guy. He'll definitely be missed down here.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 This stuff is horrible. All these wrestlers dying young isn't right. But unfortunately, it's a reality. RIP Moondoggy
cbacon Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Yeah, but thats how old in dog years? lol
