Captain Lou Albano is Ill
Speaking on behalf of the Albano family, Wrestler's Rescue is sad to report that Captain Lou Albano has fallen ill, and is currently at home with his family under hospice care. Albano is not suffering from cancer, according to his family. While the family is grateful for the in outpouring of affection, please respect their privacy during these tough times. Wrestler's Rescue is collecting donations to be forwarded to the Albano family for medical expenses. For more information, go to www.WrestlersRescue.Org or email questions to WrestlersRescue@aol.com
How are they gonna differentiate the new Hell in a Cell DVD from the other one with the same name they already released?
Sorry to hear about Captain Lou. He'll always be Mario to me.

My favourite memory of Albano is when he was dressed up as Mario dancing during the end credits of the old Super Mario cartoons.
'Swing your arms from side to side. Come on, it's time to go. Do the Mario! Take one step, and then again. Let's do the Mario, all together now! You got it! It's the Mario! Do the Mario!'

I would assume that WWE fans know how to read.
...oh wait, no I don't.

by putting the year on the cover, and not labeling it as a three disc set...
If I were saying this out loud it would be in a tone that says you're an idiot...but I think you are probably not, this was most likely a thinly veiled attempt to say the name of the PPV was stupid and unoriginal yes?

Get well soon Lou

"WWE is moving ahead with the Jeff Hardy DVD"
His mugshot should be the cover of the DVD.

Did WWE just happen to forget that Jeff Hardy already had a DVD set last year?

Best wishes to the Captain. I wonder if WWE makes donations to Wrestler's Rescue?

Not to be a dick, but you do know he's in a hospice.
Hope he finds peace enjoys his last days. Thoughts w/ Albano family

THIS kinda comments highlights the kind of person that may not know the difference between the Hell in a Cell dvds.

They'll just pretend the other one never existed. It didn't come out last week, or Moments Ago, so it's irrelevant

That's a shame about Captain Lou. I grew up watching him, Blassie and the Grand Wizard. Man, those guys could draw heat
Posted By: LRR (Guest) on October 13, 2009 at 07:56 PM
So whats wrong with him?

Thank you for the great memories Lou, you really personified a great heel manager in the day!

Wow. The Captain: the leader of great men and the icon of managers past and present. The man who introduced us to rubber bands in the face, and who reminded us that his opposition had an IQ so low that if you took their brain and put it in a canary, the dumb bird would fly backwards.
Whether it was Lou in oriental garb leading Fuji & Saito, or wearing a chair as a halo, he will always be one of the most memorable characters in the industry.
The man who orchestrated the Snuka attack, when Ray Stevens delivered two piledrivers to the Superfly on the cement, and the man who crashed Cindi Laupers video shoot during the lead up to Wrestlemania; and lets not forget that!
Hogan and Piper get all the credit for what is now the biggest event in sports entertainment every year, but the truth is Lou started the whole thing. It was Lou that appeared on the Pit and said he was Cindi's manager. It was Lou that called her a bar room broad and reminded her that women belong in the kitchen. It was Lou who acquired the services of Moolah to deal with Cindi and Wendy Richter. Lou was the one that saw the errors of his ways and had a framed gold album smashed over his head in NYC. These events were what led to the Rock n Wrestling Connection, which in turn would become Wrestlemania.
No matter what, Lou Albano will be remembered as the greatest manager of all time. He'll be remembered as one of the all time most hated villains ever. And most of all...he'll be remembered as The Captain.
