Aww man your comment just brought back so many great memories.. We used to sit Indian style as kids and crowded around my grandpa’s floor model color tv.. lol idk if you guys are old enough to remember those!! Lol and as a black family, our grandparents kept the plastic coverings in their new furniture so we knew not to sit on those couches or that was ur ass mr. postman!!! Lol but great times watching wrestling as a family.
@@lemarh3584 Yes agree Rasslin fan 60 years started with my grandfather Florida wrestling with Gordon Solie.. It's 4 generations for my family but me more UFC.now
I met him back in 1995 in the Boston Garden the night before it was torn down during a WWF "A Night To Remember" event with the legends such as Nicolai Volkolf, George The Animal Steele and many others (got all of their autographs and pictures taken of them) and he was a great guy. When he signed his name I asked him if I could ask him for his "Mario" autograph as well. His head looked up to me in shock as well as a very humble smile and he said no one has ever asked him for his autograph as his Mario character he worked in the Super Mario Brothers Super Show and he said he was very honored to make that wish true. In his own words he told me no one else ever asked for that and I am the only kid in the world who has the one true and only Mario autograph now. To this day since his passing, no one since ever made that request to him and he even talked about our meeting that day just days before he passed away during an interview. It is still in my possession proudly next to the picture I took with him and George Steele. I can say I am the only lucky guy on Earth to have the one true Mario's autograph!...and he played the part perfectly, too! He did tell me too at the time they were in the works on bringing back the show, only updating it while keeping the original formula as well as using himself again and his co star who played the role of Luigi, but when the script was finished finally he was ailing and the script sat in limbo as we call it in our acting industry in SAG-AFTRA. I would have definitely watched it!
I almost didn’t watch this video, I would have heavily regretted doing so. Not only was this a great video, this was one of the more better ones I’ve ever seen. Captain Lou Albano was definitely a very underrated figure in the world of professional wrestling.
One of my earliest wrestling memories was seeing Lou and Tony Altomare wrestling as The Sicilians in a high school gym in the late 60's,I was around 10 years old.
I disagree. Mr. Fugi and Classy Freddie Blassy. Well I’ll say that there the MT. Rushmore of heel managers. As a matter of fact Jim Cornett would be my four man. But overall I’ll include Cap fo sho on the mountain. Yes sah🍾
Much, much respect and love for the legendary Captain Lou Albano! No doubt, one of pro wrestling's greatest personalities. Thank you for the memories and RIP, Sir. 🙏
As a kid growing up on WWF during that era, I was always a fan of Captain Lou's. One of my...."wrestling regrets", was not going to my local Italian-American Club here in Jersey, where The Captain was doing a meet & greet in September of '09. Less than a month later, he'd come to pass. A *TRUE WRESTLING LEGEND* , if ever there were one! Thanks for the entertainment/memories, Captain! Continue to R.I.P.!!
As a 15 y.o in 1985 I was all about WWF. All the teenage boys were. It was a Hot Topic at school and the Niegborhoods. The movie The Goonies was released around this time and it was a wonderful time to grow up.
I was always a Captain Lou fan as a kid & I had no idea he went to Tennessee! I'm a East Tennessean & a life long VOL fan & so this makes me a even bigger fan, that's awesome & I don't care about him being kicked out!!!
One of my all time favorite people in the world I had so much fun watching Lou in his wrestling persona God bless you Lou Thank you for making my life fun !
It can not be overstated how important Lou Albano was to the explosion in popularity the WWF saw in the 1980s. If not for Lou, Wrestlemania 1 may have never happened. I know Hulk Hogan was probably THE most important element to the next-level success of Pro Wrestling, but Lou Albano was arguably just as important in those early years. Aside from Bobby Heenan, Lou Albano was probably the greatest manager ever in Pro Wrestling. PS: Monsoon's expression wasn't "fountain of misfortune", it was "fountain of misinformation". Usually, he referred to Heenan using this expression, but it may have started with Albano.
Im a BIG fan of the 80s wrestling that i grew up on. Great memories with my dad and I. They REALLY need to make this man in the "ultimates" action figure line. Id buy 1 to open and 1 to keep put up on my shelf.
A great tribute to an unforgettable man. The narrator got one thing wrong. Gorilla Monsoon called Captain Lou " The fountain of misinformation " Not misfortune. I started watching the WWWF in 1968 with my dad. Vince senior was running the WWWF at that time. I've always been a fan and went to so many live events I lost count. Captain Lou, Freddie Blassie, Grand Wizard, Mr. Fuji, Bobby Heenan. Thank you for entertaining people for so many decades. I'm 66 right now and you gentlemen will never be duplicated.
Remember when I was a little kid and Captain Lou managed don morocco. They came to the ring and Captain Lou was eating a meatball sandwich. He dropped the meatball on the way out and then another point during the match he slipped on the meatball and wiped out it was hilarious.
I met him in the late 90s at a book store signing. He was such a nice man. He was talking with all who came up to them about Jesus. I was so impressed by his faith.
Enjoyed watching wrestling with my sons in the 1980s.. I first started to go to wrestling matches in Utica NY in 1970. Great times with friends seeing Ernie the cat Ladd and Dominic DeNucci.
Wow!! Thx for taking the time to tell it! Warm fuzzy feeling as saw 1984 scenes... Was a kid. July 23rd event of 84 in vid here was my 8th birthday. Recall it as if was yesterday. Didn't know is when that event happened
Captain Lou was the man that set wrestling to the heights of the 1980's, but never truly get the credit for it, everyone says it was Hulk Hogan, but as this video shows it was Captain Lou. May he RIP...
Thanks TH-cam for the upload. Nice Documentary from Captain Lou Albano. The best General Manager WWF manager could ever had, to me. R.l.P Mr. Lou Albano.
Way way back in the 1970s when Captain Lou was maybe the biggest heel manager in the wwwf a friend's mom took us to see a show at a local high school. We ran into him on our way to get a drink or something. He was just standing outside the door of the gym watching the match that was in progress through the window in the door. He was super friendly with big smiles and hand shakes for all of us. True what they say the heels are usually the nicest guys off screen. On a side note we also saw Haystacks Calhoun sitting on the gate of his pickup truck in the parking lot who was also very nice.
The funniest thing I’ve heard in wrestling was an interview with the Captain,I don’t know who he was referring to but he said,”If that guy had a brain he’d be dangerous;put his brain in a humming bird and it would fly backwards.”
Your pretty close ' If they put his brains inside a parakeet - it would fly backwards'. First person I heard Lou say that about was Pedro Morales. Pedro used to beat Lou's wrestlers on a regular basis. Jay Strongbow, Bruno Sammartino, and many others were all victims of the parakeet statement.
I began following wrestling in 1984 when I moved into my first apartment away from my folks' house...with two friends, one of which was a little older and hd been watching since Freddie Blassie was champion....so I remember experiencing almost all of what happened during and after those times.....the rock and wrestling connection, etc....we saw the first WM on closed circuit tv in a local auditorium with many others.....a lot of fun!
Met captain Lou about 20 years ago at Delaware Harrington races and slots we were side by side losing our money at the slots machine I was telling him some of the matches I watch him manage on TV. Rubber band and all what a great 15 minutes he was really friendly
Captain Lou albano was the first real crossover star. From wrestling to TV movies music videos.. and while everybody gives hulk Hogan credit formaking wrestling mainstream and as big as it is it was Captain Lou albano that really started it all with his relationship with Cyndi lauper. Captain Lou is pretty much the main bad guy on the Rock and wrestling story.. Captain Lou doesn't get enough credit for making wrestling what it is today
I remember when Lou was in the army here at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania. He didn't have to travel far to do shows at the Zembo Mosque Temple Auditorium in Harrisburg Pennsylvania or for the TV tapings in Hamburg Pennsylvania. WWWF wasn't quite as worldwide as they let on.
He was so great👍 back in 1980s as a manager when WWE was excellent and filled with the legendary of some of the older wrestlers today.👏 😎He was also great working with Cindy Lauper 👏 playing the father in the song Girls Just Wanna Fun. I do not know why he said he wrote all of Cindys music 🎶 that was way wrong Lue. I loved ❤ the 80s of the WWF and WWE. 😎 The 80s music 🎶 was also the greatest thanks for sharing good luck with your other wrestling videos on you tube peace ✌ 😎.
My Saturday morning wrestling days in the Early 70s wouldn’t be the same without The Captain. The best thing I ever heard Him say on an interview segment was when He called Tony Garea “ Tony What’s His Disease “! 😂
I met Captain Lou Albano when I was on High School, I was heading to my bus and saw him there talking to the Administrators, he was advertising a wrestling event at a nearby High School, I asked for an autograph which he happily gave me, he was very nice in person.
He was the best!!! The best talker, so damn funny, such a witty speaker. Him.and Muraco together were maybe the best manager/ wrestler team with both such great talkers.
@theitalianskunk… One of the funniest squash match of a jobber was the Don Muraco match of him eating a meatball sub🥖during the match 🤼♂️ & then taking a swig of Coca Cola to wash it down 🥤 as he pinned his opponent😂 BUT then the funniest thing occurred after the match as Capt Lou was coming down from the wrestling ring he slipped on a meatball and fell straight onto his *SS!🤣 ( But seriously Thank You Captain Lou Albano for all the years of entertainment that you provided )👍
Its such a sad thing that todays younger fan dont know about the role of wrestling manager. They were a staple of wrestling growing up for me. Captain Lou Albano, Slick, Bobbie the Brain Heenan, Mouth of the South Jimmy Heart, Mr. Fuji, Miss Elizabeth, Scary Sherri, the list goes on and on. And that was just WWF managers. JJ Dillion of the Four Horsemen was another standout from the Crockette Promotion later WCW.
Man i miss my childhood and cap lou, he'll always be a wrestling legend and a great person. I remember meeting him, snuka and think it was eddie gilbert in parking lot back when wwf was small enough that they still ran local shows in colleges gym. Snuka was ok, gilbert was an ass but lou was so friendly with us fans.

Back when watching Wrestling was a Family Event and everybody crowded around the T.V. to watch from beginning to the end ❤❤💯💯💯💯💯
Yup
Aww man your comment just brought back so many great memories.. We used to sit Indian style as kids and crowded around my grandpa’s floor model color tv.. lol idk if you guys are old enough to remember those!! Lol and as a black family, our grandparents kept the plastic coverings in their new furniture so we knew not to sit on those couches or that was ur ass mr. postman!!! Lol but great times watching wrestling as a family.
@@lemarh3584 yes it was a family event like watching the Brady bunch. With the "I love Lucy " 📺 set
@@lemarh3584 Yes agree Rasslin fan 60 years started with my grandfather Florida wrestling with Gordon Solie..
It's 4 generations for my family but me more UFC.now
Yes Sirrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
I met him back in 1995 in the Boston Garden the night before it was torn down during a WWF "A Night To Remember" event with the legends such as Nicolai Volkolf, George The Animal Steele and many others (got all of their autographs and pictures taken of them) and he was a great guy.

I would have definitely watched it!
WOW...that's an awesome, amazing story! I'm very, very jealous of you! 😁✌
Being from the Boston area I love this story that's something super rare and cool
Very cool
Thank u for sharing he’ll always be Mario
Luigi was also the bartender on The Jeffersons
Back then when wrestling was fun to watch. I sure miss the good old days of the WWF, oh yeah!
I almost didn’t watch this video, I would have heavily regretted doing so. Not only was this a great video, this was one of the more better ones I’ve ever seen. Captain Lou Albano was definitely a very underrated figure in the world of professional wrestling.
One of my earliest wrestling memories was seeing Lou and Tony Altomare wrestling as The Sicilians in a high school gym in the late 60's,I was around 10 years old.
What a outstanding legend Capt Lou was awesome
One of the greatest heel managers of all time
I always have to ask, was captain Lou trying to be like Freddie Blassie on the mic or was Freddie Blassie, trying to be like Lou on the mic?
I disagree. Mr. Fugi and Classy Freddie Blassy. Well I’ll say that there the MT. Rushmore of heel managers. As a matter of fact Jim Cornett would be my four man. But overall I’ll include Cap fo sho on the mountain. Yes sah🍾
Capt. Lou was such a character. I loved him in "Bodyslam"
One of the true legends of wrestling
One of the biggest influences in my Career! R.I.P. Captain 🙏
Now this is the kind of stuff I enjoy greatly. Love Capt. Lou and I like a good story about their life from the beginning to the end, inside and out.
Thanks I appreciate that!
he was so big in the 84 85 era...its hard sometimes to relay that to younger fans...he was a star
The managers of the 80s were so important, so incredible. Such great characters.
He was definitely was a big star in the 80s as a manager.
Also in the 70s. All 3 were in their prime then as managers
Thank you for the insight
he was bigger to me in the 70's to the mid 80.s
Much, much respect and love for the legendary Captain Lou Albano! No doubt, one of pro wrestling's greatest personalities. Thank you for the memories and RIP, Sir. 🙏
Loved the Captain growing up. Truly a legend in the business.
So did I.
Good on Captain Lou on being a decent guy and staying faithful to his wife.
but i fought he woz in wuv wit moooolah
@@maxmirni2768 you can be attracted to and even possibly love someone but not cheat on your spouse. It just becomes unrequited love.

He will always be remembered
Indeed, and we remember him by always remembering to "Do the Mario".
This is the first documentary I've seen about Lou, I didn't know he was kicked out my hometown University before I was born.
As a 15 y.o in 1985 I was all about WWF. All the teenage boys were. It was a Hot Topic at school and the Niegborhoods. The movie The Goonies was released around this time and it was a wonderful time to grow up.
Old Time Wrestling was Much better and entertaining than what we see today
That Sicilian's promo was awesome
I was always a Captain Lou fan as a kid & I had no idea he went to Tennessee! I'm a East Tennessean & a life long VOL fan & so this makes me a even bigger fan, that's awesome & I don't care about him being kicked out!!!
I love how Lou Albano was asked to do a "say no to drugs" PSA in the 1980's when he was on "Super Mario Super Show".
When you do drugs, you go to hell BEFORE you die!
This documentary was good but Captain Lou did so much more. I had that rock n wrestling album and loved it as a kid.
I never knew that much about my Cousin Captain Lou Albano. Ty for doing this video!
These documentaries are outstanding!
Thank-you!
Loved Captain Lou Albano as a kid what an absolute legend of wrestling!! RIP CAPTAIN LOU ALBANO!! 😎👌
Back in the 80’s I got to hangout with Captain Lou outside his hotel in Manhattan what a great guy and a genuinely nice person
One of my all time favorite people in the world
I had so much fun watching Lou in his wrestling persona
God bless you Lou
Thank you for making my life fun !
The Fearless & Peerless Captain Lou Albano.
The Mount Vernon Mauler & the Stamford Stomper = one of my fave tag teams from the early 60s.
Capt Lou , Bobby the brain Heenan , Paul Ellering , Mr Fuji to me are in a class of their own 👍great video
Don't forget Blassie or Slick
@@willisapril yea Classy Freddie blassie and the great slick and Jimmy hart were good wrestling managers too
Grand Wizard as well.
Eddie "The Brain" Creetchman
Freddie Blassie was also a great character as well
He was a riot in the movie " Wise Guys" , with Joe Piscopo 😂😂!!
Lou's co-star in Mario Bros. was Danny Wells as Luigi. Wells had earlier played the bartender on The Jeffersons.
Captain Lou was and is pure legend!

I loved him as Frankie' the fixer' Accavanno
He’s going to be your guiding light 🎵🎵🎵 Captain Lou , Captain Lou .
Cause when he's on the scene everything's alright, captain Lou, captain Lou, albaaano.
(WWE wrestling album, 1985)
Im a BIG fan of the 80s wrestling that i grew up on. Great memories with my dad and I. They REALLY need to make this man in the "ultimates" action figure line. Id buy 1 to open and 1 to keep put up on my shelf.

This was fantastic. Well done! Btw, Gorilla would say “Fountain of Misinformation “.
I just posted that as well. I remember Monsoon referring to Bobby Heenan as the "Fountain of Misinformation", but it may have started with Albano.
"Fountain of Misinformation" used to apply to heel wrestling managers. Now it applies to CNN & MSNBC.
Monsoon also called him a walking advertisement for birth control
I miss Captain Lou ❤️
I still miss Captain Lou Albano, I grew up watching him on tv and saw him in person a couple of times.
I met him in the late 90s at a book store signing. He was such a nice man. He was talking with all who came up to them about Jesus. I was so impressed by his faith.
I'm curious what he would be doing a triple six hand gesture here which is well known in this day and age out of sheer ignorance possibly?
@@davidc.8755 probably had no idea what he was doing
Enjoyed watching wrestling with my sons in the 1980s.. I first started to go to wrestling matches in Utica NY in 1970. Great times with friends seeing Ernie the cat Ladd and Dominic
DeNucci.
Wow!! Thx for taking the time to tell it! Warm fuzzy feeling as saw 1984 scenes... Was a kid. July 23rd event of 84 in vid here was my 8th birthday. Recall it as if was yesterday. Didn't know is when that event happened
I use to wake up to watch super Mario Brothers before school. I forgot he was super Mario
What a great legend to Wrestling, Glad I found this, love Captain Lou, I wear a rubber band in my beard sometimes lol RIP Lou
Thank you
I’ve loved Lou Albano all my life
What an amazing character
Well Done!
Thank-you!
Thank You. Truly one of my favourites as a kid and a great recap.
Lou Albano is the best legend.

Thanks TH-cam for the upload. Nice Documentary from Captain Lou Albano.
The best General Manager WWF manager could ever had, to me. R.l.P Mr. Lou Albano.
I remember watching Lou Albana and Tony Altamori as tag team. Before he became manager. In the 60s. He was a manager of many wrestlers.
Now thats some serious heat. The Chicago mob was so pissed off they had to flee back to New York . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😆
Honestly my favorite one when you played Mario was probably the greatest
I have seen a lot bio's of wrestlers. I'm glad to have found one about Captain Lou. Good job dude
I had no idea he was a wrestler,the first time I saw him was the Cindy Lauper video .Cool video about an awesome guy!
Thank You for posting/creating this
Excellent
The best. Watched him him from the 70s and he was the best in the mic. 1/3 of the legendary “triumvirate of terror”.
lived in the same town as him for many years very nice man and his family loved him
Can't be a boxer because you're too small

Albano.wasnt always nice I heard he could be an ass
I remember haystacks Calhoun, I grew up in Stockton and watched big time wrestling with Hank Renner,from the cow palace
Bruno Sammartino, Pedro Morales, lvan Koloff and George the Animal Steel were my favorite wrestlers then.
The funniest thing I’ve heard in wrestling was an interview with the Captain,I don’t know who he was referring to but he said,”If that guy had a brain he’d be dangerous;put his brain in a humming bird and it would fly backwards.”

Dude, your so thorough with these mini doc's. Thank's for all you do producing them.
Thanks for the support!
I miss Captain Lou Albano the who as Mario from Super Mario Bros. Super Show and he did the Do the Mario dance.
Oh wow ... I Still Have This LP In My Record Collection . Going To Listen To It After This Video Is Over . Great Video . BIG THANXXX !!!
I am one of the top five Professional Wrestling Historians living today. Well done on this.
Thank-you!
R u still alive?
Gorilla called him, the fountain of misinformation, not misfortune.
Met captain Lou about 20 years ago at Delaware Harrington races and slots we were side by side losing our money at the slots machine I was telling him some of the matches I watch him manage on TV. Rubber band and all what a great 15 minutes he was really friendly
Capt Lou Was My Fav Pro Wrestling Manager. Been watching since the 1970s.
It's because of Lou that I learned about the high protein, low carbohydrate, virgin's goats milk diet.
Wow I forgot that one!!!!! Nice job
@@nunzio-hv8xt Thank you. It helped Moolah.
His brain is the size of a b.b. lol
That was hilarious!!!!
A guy I used to work with, his brother is married to 1 of Lou's daughters. He had some great stories. A legend, changed the business forever
When I think of managers who tried to copy him, Sir Oliver Humperdinck is the first one that comes to my mind!
Albano was a favorite of mine growing up he is still legend to me.
Captain Lou albano was the first real crossover star. From wrestling to TV movies music videos.. and while everybody gives hulk Hogan credit formaking wrestling mainstream and as big as it is it was Captain Lou albano that really started it all with his relationship with Cyndi lauper.

We Luv you, Lou thanks 🙏🏿 for the memories and Yes you were the Back bone of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant'$ success.

I miss captain Lou albano he made my childhood rock
Legend has it a man looking very similar was seen recruiting young Samoans to train for a run at the Tag Team Titles.
in an industry that has had a great many of its members be bad people behind the scenes, captian lou was an angel
Them Saturday Nights Main Event shows was life for me as a young 11 yr older. My world stopped for that event.
God I had such a crush on Cyndi when I was younger, she was different and so freaking cool
Great upload man!
Thank-you!
