Career
Booker debuted in 1979 under the ring name Larry Latham. Latham formed a tag team with Carl Fergie called "The Ragin" Cajuns" managed by Billy Spears in the Gulf Coast territory. Early in his career, he wrestled in Memphis and Mid-South.
The Blond Bombers were involved in heated feuds with several baby faces across the two competing Tennessee promotions, appearing in both Nick Gulas Nashville based territory, and Jerry Jarrett"s Memphis area.
The team was managed by Danny Davis. Their signature moment was the now famous "Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl" against Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee.
The Moondogs feuded with The Fabulous Ones, The Rock "n" Roll Express, and Midnight Express. The Moondogs became a regular gimmick in the Memphis promotion featuring a revolving door of wrestlers who teamed with Latham.
Booker held the title along with Moondog Rex until they were defeated by Rick Martel and Tony Garea on July 21, 1981.
On November 7, 1985 he wrestled in the tournament on the World Wildlife Fund pay-per-view event Wrestling Classic. He defeated Terry Funk in the first round by count out, then lost to Junkyard Dog in the quarterfinals. In March 2003, he made a few appearances as Moondog Spot in NWA:TNA, which is known today as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
Latham died of a heart attack in the ring during Jerry Lawler"s "birthday bash" show on November 29, 2003 in Memphis, Tennessee.
