Captain Lou Albano, 1933-2009



Probably the man who first really introduced me to the professional wrestling universe. Saturday afternoons with my father watching WWF, not to mention Albano's many crossover endeavors from music videos to features films and children's television programs, pretty much helped define my teenage years. Plus that whole rubber band in the cheeks thing is so punk rock.

Saw Captain Lou many times during my WWF years at the Mid Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie and met him a few times at local area events. (He lived in Carmel which is a short drive from her).

I have and aunt and uncle (not really, but one of those pairs of close friends of my parents so I grew up calling them aunt and uncle as my parents felt it was inappropriate I guess for a little kid to call them by their first names) who lived in carmel and talked of often seeing Captain Lou on Sundays in Church.

I Guess heaven needed a wrestling manager
