QuoteCaptain Lou Albano dead at 76
October 14, 2009 | 9:27 am
Legendary pro wrestling manager Captain Lou Albano died this morning, MTV.com is reporting.
Albano, who was sent home from the hospital earlier this week and place under hospice care, was 76 years old.
Albano is best known to non-wrestling fans as the father in Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" video. That helped kick off the Rock 'n Wrestling connection that launched the then-WWF to national prominence in the 1980s.
:( RIP... though he's one of those I thought had died ages ago. He never looked umm "healthy"
I always liked him because he looked like Ron Jeremy. Also for his timeless performance as Mario in the Super Mario Brothers cartoon/live action show.
RIP Lou :(

He played Mario? I never saw that. great casting. should've had Ron Jeremy as Wario.
Thank you, Lou. :(

But our princess is in another castle!
You read MTV.com for news?
:cry: Super Mario Brothers Super Show no more.
I hope he's doing the Mario in Heaven. :(

Also, here's the intro in German, because it amuses me to hear people rap in German.

Thanks for bringing back painful, repressed memories.
:hug:
Not to speak ill of the deceased or anything...
...but nostalgia really makes some shows seem better than they actually were. I made a point of being up early on Saturday mornings to watch the likes of that? :blink:
:lol: Even at the time I thought the show was a total POS, but for some reason me and my brother liked to watch it when we got home from school. Super Mario Brothers Super Show + Peanut M&Ms + Birch Beer = Good Times.
RIP Mario. :(
I liked the Friday Zelda cartoons better. :blush:
You know something weird? Now that I think about it, I've never played a single Mario Bros. game.

Super Mario Bros. gathered a lot of dust on my shelf when I got ticked off around World 4 and never beat it; I played a lot of SMB2 and SMB3, though.

You really didn't miss much.
Well yeah, they always looked ghey to me. :)
Part of it was simply that I never had a Nintendo. When other kids were getting Nintendos, I had my trusty Commodore 64 with like 3,000 pirated games. :cool:

I'm willing to grant not missing much by never playing Mario games, but never owning a Nintendo? Now that's a travesty. No Contra, Tetris, or The Hunt for Red October? :(
I had the first and third games on my C64 which had much better graphics and sound. Face it, the NES was a total piece of shit in terms of technology. :(
I had: BOTH.
I was: Awesome

I guess I could have had both if I wanted, but neither me nor my brother ever asked our parents for an NES. The first console we owned was a Sega Genesis, and around that time my brother stole an SNES from this wimpy Flip kid so we had that too. I loved the SNES. Chrono Trigger :wub:

I bought my NES with my own money. :goodboy:
You guys are silly. :)
