Captain Lou Albano

Nothing used to piss my Dad off more than when I'd watch wrestling. Three hours later he'd still be wondering aloud how he raised me to be a houligan. I was six.

Captain Lou Albano passed recently, well known as the manager with the most elastic bands in his face. Who were the other good managers? There was the music guy with the piano tie. And there was Ted Dibiasi, the million dollar man. Wonder how that million dollars is doing?

Lou's celebrity crossed beyond the upside down doors of the wrestling world, playing Cindy Laupers Dad in the "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" video. He was from the vaudville school of horseshit and could have easily been a circus barker or a senator... in other words, he was an original houligan.
