    Default RIP Captain Lou

    Hey, Pisanos! Today, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/14/obit.albano/index.html">we've lost a superstar</a>. Some may remember him as the goofy Mario in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w2fi_f5OLY">Super Mario Bros. Super Show</a>, some may remember him as wrestler <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRuKkWXru5Q">Captain Lou</a>. I have just found out that Captain Lou Albano had just recently died today at the age of 76.

    RIP Captain Lou

    Also, let's talk about Capt. Lou and anything related to him.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I loved those live action segments in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. They were so intentionally cheesy. I liked the fact that Lou seemed to really get into character in those scenes.

    A wrestler died above the age of 40? That's an achievement! RIP Lou.

    All I remember is him as Mario. It feels like Mario has died.

    Same here, though I remember him from his wrestling days too.

    Funny, I was just talking about this guy to my girlfriend and now he's gone.

    I'm a huge wrestling fan so Captain Lou is a big loss, he was one of the best managers in the history of the business

    I only figured out today that he was Super Mario on the old cartoon show today this disturbed me slightly!
