Definitely an icon during my twenties. I have a nephew that would quote a lot of stats on on all the old WWW. I liked his part in the video, too. It was a big part of my twenties. RIP Lou.

Wow two stars in one day....Al Martino died as well. Mr. Martino's main claims to fame were his song "Spanish Eyes" and his role as Johnny Fontaine in the Godfather! Johnny Fontaine was the character supposedly based on Frank Sinatra who went into Don Corleone to try to get the movie role.

YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN!!!

I wonder what was wrong w/Albano that he was in hospice care....

Captain Lou Albano Dies

Popular Wrestler, 80s Personality, was 76

(CBS) Pro wrestling star and 1980's pop culture icon Captain Lou Albano died Wednesday at age 76.

Albano "was often imitated but never duplicated, and he certainly will never be forgotten either," said World Wrestling Entertainment in a press release.

Albano began his wrestling career in 1953 in Canada after attending the University of Tennessee, the WWE said in its press release.

After decades of success as a manager, Albano is widely credited with creating the first "Wrestlemania" in 1985.

The wrestler also earned fame by playing Cyndi Lauper's father in the popular video for "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

According to the Miami Herald, Albano was in hospice care at the time of his death.
