Captain Lou Albano Dead at 76

I just read the news a few minutes ago.

While he wasn’t as popular as Hulk Hogan, most people from my age remember him from his wrestling days. He was certainly a crazy character. From a pop culture stand point; he was all over the place.

Check out his IMDB page.

-"The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!": I remember him more from his role in the live action portions of Super Mario show. Heck, the man showed everyone how to do “the Mario”.

-He also showed up on Hulk Hogan’s Rock n Wrestling cartoon. (Character model only, he was voice by someone else.)

-He also played Cyndi Lauper's father in the “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

-People also forget that he had a role in Lauper's “Good Enough”. (That Goonies song)

RIP Captain Lou

Do the Mario!

He was certainly a character. I loved his crazy program on Super Mario Bros Super Show.
