Background: Was their hair perfect? Did they eat from Lee Ho Fooks? Did they run a muck in Kent?
Not really, but that's what they wanted you to think. Mayne was the first. If Joe Q Sixpack thought what he was dealing with a wild man, or even some kind of monster, then winning a fight would be easy. He got Colley, who had been crewing as a henchman for various dudes and sold him on the idea.
He might have even taken them to the top until he passed away. Colley decided to keep the idea going, so he talked to local hero Sailor White and sold him the idea. Thus the Moondogs howled!
They did pretty good, but they were finally brought down by Rick Martel and Toney Garea of all people. They skipped bail and headed south. The group would expand and members would come and go, but the image of the blond wildman with tattered pants would be an image that would stay with people.
