Mostly OT: RIP Captain Lou Albano

[godzillajoe]

As a fan of both Mario and old school wrasslin', RIP to one of the greats.

 

We should dedicate next week's HSC in the form of Mario Bros. or DK Jr. (since we just did DK)

That's messed up - I thought he died years ago

RIP Capt. Lou.

 

And hi; long time lurker, first time poster.

That just blows! And to think I started a video game animation topic on another forum just three days ago. Lou Albano and Lohn John Baldry (who died four years prior) figured heavily into the discussion.

Mama Mia, that-a sucks. Loved Lou as an old school wrassler long before he lost his mind a took the role of Mario. Ah well, will be missed.

Yea, Capt. Lou was classic.

Grew up with him too. Loved those pre-match speeches he did without tongue-tying himself into oblivion

My and my buddies used to crack up when he'd get bonked by the (prearranged) winner of the match.

God bless Lou.
