Bob McFlurry With Sports
Maybe you’re a little young to remember Lou Albano the wrestler but you may remember him managing such wrestlers as former Intercontinental Champion Greg ‘The Hammer’ Valentine but Albano made more of a mark on managing tag teams. Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito, The Valiant Brothers, Wild Samoans, The Moondogs, and The British Bulldogs were a few of the teams he managed over the years. Overall he guided two dozen wrestlers to the Championships.
You may also remember Albano in a number of Cyndi Lauper videos including Girls just Want to Have Fun. Moreover, I remember Lou Albano best for his role as the real life Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! as well as lending his voice to the animated character. I can remember many a days coming home from school and watching this program.
He was inducted into the WWF/WWE Hall of Fame in 1996.
Some of the more notable names he managed were André the Giant, Hulk Hogan, “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka, The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff and George ‘The Animal’ Steele.
Capitan Lou you will be missed.
