Captain Lou Albano RIP

Sign in to disble this ad
Captain Lou Albano passed on the the great wrestling ring in the sky today. I remember him back in the 70s and 80s first as a wrestler, then as a manager of the Wild Samoans. He had those rubber bands attached to his cheeks and he was always good for a few outrageous statements. RIP Captain Lou, maybe we'll catch you in action on the other side!

Yeah, and then he managed Cyndi Lauper. Gotta give it up to people who know how to entertain a crowd! RIP.

I had the pleasure of working with Lou in the late '80s - early '90s. He was a genuine, funny, hardworking, nice guy. RIP.
