Pro wrestling legend Captain Lou Albano passed away on Wednesday morning at the age of 76.
Lou was admitted for hospice care earlier in the week following a hospital stay. The wrestler had struggled with his poor health in recent years, suffering a heart attack in 2005.
Albano, a former wrestler for the WWF, was most popularly known to the non-wrestling world as Cyndi Lauper's father in the video for Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
So, so sad.
You will be dearly missed, Captain Lou.

Another legend gone. Loved wrestling in the 80s and 90s and he was a big part of it.

Thought he died years ago!

I remember him from the Cyndi Lauper video...

I saw something funny about this:

"May he have a rubber band around his tombstone."
