World Wrestling Entertainment was saddened to learn of the passing of one of the company’s most popular and charismatic legends, “Captain Lou Albano.” WWE extends its deepest condolences to the Albano family.
“Captain Lou” was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996. He performed for WWE from 1983 to 1996. Albano began his storied career with Vincent J. McMahon in the 1960’s as one half of “The Sicilians” tag team with his partner, Tony Altimore. He will be greatly missed by the WWE and his fans.

I'm deeply saddened by this man's passing, but what we brought to the stage, I will never forget. Learning later in life that he played Mario in the old Super Mario Brothers Super Show (with Danny Wells as Luigi) brightened my later years. I ended up actually buying the show on dvd too, and it's surprisingly fairly funny. A true legend in an out of the ring, and will be greatly missed, deepest condolences to his family =(
