Lou Albano – famed WWF wrestler and manger, entertainment partner to Cyndi Lauper, and of course the original Super Mario, died at 76 yesterday in New York of natural causes. I was either not around or too young to have enjoyed his storied career as a whole, but I’ll always remember the Super Mario Brother Super Show, and his role in it. It was one of the influences in my life to make me (and many others I assume) who I am today. So farewell Captain Lou Albano, you’ll be sorely missed.
