Lonnie Mayne (born Ronald Doyle Mayne on September 12, 1944 in Fairfax, California) was a professional wrestler in the 1960s and 1970's who frequently went by the name Moondog Mayne. Mayne wrestled in various NWA territories as well as the WWWF. He grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and graduated from the College of Southern Utah where he was an All American in Football. Lonnie's father Ken was a professional wrestler, and Lonnie chose to follow in his father's footsteps and become a professional wrestler as well.[1][2] [3][4][5]

[edit] National Wrestling Alliance (San Francisco version)

Lonnie won his first National Wrestling Alliance (San Francisco version) Heavyweight Championship by defeating then-champion Pat Patterson on December 29, 1973 in San Francisco. At the time, Lonnie was a "heel" and Pat Patterson was the "good guy". Although the two had a long standing feud- both before and after Lonnie defeated Patterson for the heavyweight belt- they eventually teamed to win the NWA (San Francisco version) tag team title. This occurred on August 8, 1978 in San Francisco when they defeated The Invaders.

[edit] Death

Lonnie died in an automobile crash on August 14, 1978 in Southern California. At the time he was the reigning NWA (San Francisco version) Heavyweight Champion for the third time.
