You guys remember Captain Lou Albano, right? Pro wrestler, actor, and an all around great guy, has died at the age of 76. You may remember him for his crazy beard, and you may remember him for his appearance on a number of tv shows and films. But his friends and his family members will remember Captain Lou Albano for who he was.
If you're unfamiliar with Lou Albano, be sure to check out the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun music video, where he's featured.
As for the hardcore wrestling fans, thank Captain Lou Albano. He managed what is now the WWE, back in the 1980's, and he helped promote the business. He's a big reason the business is what it is today.
Currently, reports of the cause of the Captain's death have not been released. We don't know where he was found dead, or if any foul play was involved More than likely, at his age anyway, he died of natural causes. May Lou Albano rest in peace, but never be forgotten.
By the way, expect there to be a huge tribute to Captain Lou Albano on the WWE within the next month. Again, this is only a guess, but I am almost certain that they will mention him in one of the up and coming events.
