R.I.P Captain Lou I remember watching him when I was a kid and had his LJN figure. What did he die of? Probably natural causes seeing as he had been in hospice care since late last week.

I was a huge fan as a child... He just had the kind of personality that made you take notice.
This is sad news, but after past health scares, to make it to 76 is pretty good.
I think I'm gonna watch me some Super Mario Bros. Super Show tonight.

Aw man, terrible news to hear. The man had a lot of history in the business for sure. He was one of the guys I knew that were before my time when I was little, even. And of course there's the Mario show. R.I.P.

Yeah, this is sad news for sure. He was a true legend in wrestling and I believe still holds the record for a manager who managed the most tag-team champions in the history of wrestling. I believe it stands at 16 or something close to it. That record won't be beat because there aren't any managers anymore in wrestling. Certainly not the quality or calibre of "Captain" Lou Albano, that's for sure. For a wrestler, he lived a long life. Longer than most get to live. I still have his W.W.F. Jakks Legends figure in the box. I thought I had sold it during our big garage sale a month or so ago, but thankfully I held onto it. I always liked that figure because I thought it looked ALOT like him. I love the shirt on him. "Captain" Lou Albano will be greatly missed. R.I.P.

It's really not that sad, like Killer Kowalski, he lived a long and prosperous life and I'm happy that he's no longer suffering.
Rest in Peace Captain

And with that, the final member of the Unholy Trinity passes on.
I'm blasting "Do the Mario" as we speak.
RIP Capt. Lou.

Just heard about it a couple of minutes ago Real shame he was one of the few 80s wrestlers i liked(being born in the 90s) and he was one of the guys who helped put wrestling on the map. I wish i could have met him but unfortunatley i wont be able to Rip Captain Lou Albano 7/29/1933-10/14/2009 Atleast he lived along life

He was one of the best managers around in the 70s and 80s and even the 90s with Fatu and Samu. He will be missed.
RIP Captain Louis Albano
