DOPERAD

Pro-wrestling icon Captain Lou Albano passed away today at the age of 76, shortly after being admitted to hospice care.   He is also remembered well for his role as Mario on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! A bit more on his career thanks to Wikipedia:

Louis Vincent Albano (July 29, 1933 – October 14, 2009), better known by his ring name Captain Lou Albano, was an American professional wrestler, manager and actor. With an over-the-top personality and a penchant for boisterous declarations, Albano was the epitome of the antagonistic manager that raised the ire of wrestlers and incited the anger of spectators. Throughout his forty-two-year career, Albano guided 15 different tag teams and 4 singles competitors to championship gold. A unique showman, with an elongated beard, rubber band facial piercings, and loud outfits, he was the forefather of the 1980s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Connection. Collaborating with Cyndi Lauper, Albano helped usher in wrestling’s crossover success with a mainstream audience. Capitalizing on his success, he later ventured into Hollywood with various television, film, and music projects.
