Captain Lou Albano the wrestler... from back in the day..

I remember him as Mario from the Super Mario Bros. Super Shows back in the day.

RIP.

He had a brother.. they were the "bad guys" .. Chief Jay Strongbow, Bruno Samartino, Andre the Giant, and Haystack Calhoun.. I used to watch Studio Wrtestling with my garandma..

..... Bobo Brazil, Killer Kowalski (remember the CLAW HOLD?), Eduardo Carpentier... And I remember another wrestler who was always portrayed as a crazy man - was his name Hagarty?

May Captain Lou Albano "wrest" in peace and may he always have enough rubber bands to secure his scraggly old goatee.

RIP Lou.

I watched Wrestling at the Chase in the 70's with my Grandparents and uncle.
My uncle had Down's syndrome so he still lived at home.

I'd give just about anything to be sitting there watching my uncle get all involved in the matches.

It's amazing to me how things like this bring back "forgotten" memories.
