Lanny Kean Jr., best known as Hillbilly Cousin Junior in WWF in the 80s, and later for Jarrett Promotions as Moondog Cujo in the 90s, passed away at 1 a.m. last night from a heart attack in Jamestown, KY, where he was living.
Kean Jr. was a friend of Jim Morris, who later became Hillbilly Jim, as the two started out together working for Dale Mann in Bowling Green, KY. When the WWF expanded the Hillbilly stable to include Uncle Elmer (Plowboy Stan Frazier), Morris got Kean into the WWF, but it was shortlived.
Kean had worked under his real name for years on WWF television but changed his look to play a Hillbilly, and later changed his look a second time to play a Moondog, a role he continued to play on independent shows until his death. Teaming with the late Larry Booker as Moondog Spot, the Moondogs vs. Jeff Jarrett & Jerry Lawler was one of the last great long-term programs of the Jarrett territory.
Kean Jr. was 48.
