Mokong Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Just spotted while watching Smackdown, surprised there's no thread here yet. Former professional-wrestler Lou Albano AKA Captain Lou died on Oct 14th of natural causes at age 76. Aswell as being big in the pro-wrestling world, Captain Lou was also well known as Cyndi Lauper's dad in the "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" video and more so to Nintendo fans as Mario in the live action intro and outros to the early 90's cartoon show, "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show".
jayseven Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 tbh, he was dead in my mind already anyway. *shrugs*

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 That's too bad. Cheesy as it was, the Super Mario Bros. Super Show will always be remembered by Nintendo fans.
Nicktendo Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 RIP. Loved him in WWF and loved his as the 'original' real life Mario.
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Kinda like jesus and the christians, innit? But better and actually real.
Jimbob Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 That's too bad. Cheesy as it was, the Super Mario Bros. Super Show will always be remembered by Nintendo fans. Just watched the clips above and it brings back all the memories from when i used to watch this as a kid. It's still cheesy even to this day. R.I.P Lou Albano, you gave us great memories both in and out of the ring.
