WWE Hall of Fame wrestler and manager Captain Lou Albano has passed away. He was 76 years old. Albano is best remembered as the loud mouth manager of fifteen different tag team championship teams during WWE’s hey day in the 1980s and the Dad in Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” video. Albano was also the voice of Super Mario on the “Mario Brothers Show” and had roles in TV’s “Miami Vice” among other appearances. He was a classically schooled wrestler whose career spanned back into the late 1960s. Albano will sorely be missed for his over the top bigger than life personality, which in classic Captain Lou style provided some of the best (if not the best) WWE interviews on TV ever.
Catching up on our earlier article about Drew Carey saying he’ll donate a $1 per Twitter follower to the LiveStrong Foundation, Carey’s profile is up to 95,332 followers at the time of this writing. If you have a Twitter account please be sure to add Carey. To recap, if Carey reaches 1 million followers befor 1/1/10 he will donate a million US dollars to LiveStrong. This is a big deal and every account counts. So be sure to add him and help the cause out (because after all it’s free which is win-win for everybody).
