Not sure if this is well known, but apparently 80s WWF Manager Captain Lou Albano has died.

I always remember this guy fondly when thinking back to my childhood! RIP.

An 80s icon and wrestling never takes off like it did without the existence of Albano.

I was heavily into the WWF when I was younger.  Had the action figures and stuff.  I forget if I had Captain Lou, or if my best friend did, but I know one of us did (I think it was me).  My mom sold those action figures years ago at a tag sale WITHOUT my permission.  I was not pleased.

I do not remember him for his wrestling. I remember him for doing the Mario.

What is up with all of the 80s deaths this year? Bea Arthur, Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze, Lou Albano...

Who's next? Don Johnson?

With all due respect, Capt. Lou and Bea Arthur weren't exactly spring chickens.  Michael wasn't a model of good health, and Swayze had cancer.

Yeah, but icons of the era are all going at the exact same time. Not years apart, but months, weeks in some cases.
