Yeah, seriously! Who wrote that?

I guarantee not many of the topics around the net are titled "guy from video."

None of the articles the site links mention it. This both makes me mad and kind of reassuringly makes me feel young.

It's a shock, while there were reports that he was ill, I never though it was THIS bad, and he returned home from the hospital the day before.

Captain Lou will be missed.

Legendary pro wrestling manager Captain Lou Albano died this morning, MTV.com is reporting.

Albano, who was sent home from the hospital earlier this week and place under hospice care, was 76 years old.

Albano is best known to non-wrestling fans as the father in Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" video. That helped kick off the Rock 'n Wrestling connection that launched the then-WWF to national prominence in the 1980s.
