Captain Lou Albano
one of my childhood favorites has gone to that great squared circle in the sky. captain lou albano died today. he was 76 years old. i knew him as a manager, but i loved him. i wasn’t sure why, but he made me smile.
Albano was recognizable by his penchant for unbuttoned Hawaiian shirts and a trademark beard, which was usually bound by a rubber band.
here’s a clip:

Sad news indeed. As one of the few other scholars who is also a wrestling fan, this is a sad day. Albano was hilarious . . . I always loved the beard with the hair tie on it.
