Captain Lou Albano, Darkest Nightmare of My Childhood Dead at 76

Kotaku is reporting that Captain Lou Albano has died.

Wrestling fans know him as the WWE Hall of Famer who managed more than 50 wrestlers in his day, with more than two dozen championships won by athletes taken under his wing. 80's music fans might remember him from his appearances in many Cyndi Lauper music videos, including "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", "She Bop", "Time After Time" and "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough."


But We know him as Mario from the utterly traumatizing Super Mario Brother's Super Show.



So, kill a kooba for Captain Lou, but watch for the bounce back
