Captain Lou Albano died the other day.
I wish the wrasslin idiots now had kept going in that direction rather than the overwrought soap opera it is now.
It was fake, we KNEW it was fake, those guys had fun with it.
Those of you who don't know him as a wrassler might have seen him as Mario from the Mario brothers cartoon show from the 1990's.
he also played Cyndi Lauper's dad in the "girls just wanna have fun" video.
He was in several of her videos, introduced her as a female wrassler, and she produced Lou Albano's urm.....well........"song"
The song is here:

The other person in that song is George "The animal " Steele........who is in the Michigan State Coaches Hall of Fame as a Wrestling (Greco Roman Wrestling) coach.
Who could forget the rubberbands hanging from his face.
NO kidding about today's 'wrasslers'.
Oh, they have skills, but it's too schlocky now.
LOL,
I watch the old programs on ESPN Classic and usually LMFAO doing so.
The good old days.
