Live-Action Mario Dead At 76
Wrestling manager Captain Lou, Cyndi Lauper's fake dad, and Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Lou Albano passed away today at the age of 76.
Wrestling fans know him as the WWE Hall of Famer who managed more than 50 wrestlers in his day, with more than two dozen championships won by athletes taken under his wing. 80's music fans might remember him from his appearances in many Cyndi Lauper music videos, including "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", "She Bop", "Time After Time" and "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough." As gamers, we of course remember him as the best live-action Mario of all time. That's not saying much when your chief compe ion is Bob Hoskins, but at least he was Italian. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! might have only run a grand total of 52 episodes, but that was more than enough to cement Captain Lou's place in gaming history.
Mr. Albano suffered from a heart attack in 2005 and has been in failing health ever since. He was at home with his family under ho e care when he passed away.

R.I.P
From now on, I'll pay attention to my mushroom consumption
He probably picked a poisonous one by mistake.
Nah. He just had some wicked heartburn. One can only breathe fire for so long before it catches up to you.

You can only get so many 1 Ups before you run out.
Lou IS Mario. Nintendo never got him to donate his voice to the games, and that was wrong. I loved those Super Mario Brothers' Super Shows!
RIP Mario, RIP...
so nice i had to post it twice

Seriously though, R.I.P. Lou! I used to love that show.
Mario Kart on Super Nintendo top 5 game of all time.
