R.I.P. Capatain Lou Albano
you was a hot chit...many fun memories of Capt. Lou...
before wrestling got too big, and was just a saturday diversion..
cape cod coliseum....
man how he hated it when they actually made him match up..he was happier just running his mouth and tossing a chair or two...
then came rock and roll, MTV, Cindy Lauper, and "Mario"....
and Vince got richer....
R.I.P. Capt. Lou...

Man, I read that and I was bummed... 
Captain Lou on Saturday mornings...Chief Jay Strongbow...Killer Kowalski...the Tomahawk Chop and the Claw submission hold.... 
It's a lousy rainy day...I'm gonna get back into bed and pull my Roy Rogers bedspread up to my chin until Sky King comes on...that'll make me feel better... 
Sky King's niece Penny was hot...well, to a 9 year old anyway...  |

G.L.O.W. was always my grandfather's favorite.... |

Quite a few WWWF guys were locals.
Walter "Killer" Kowalski came from north of Boston (maybe Reading?) and was a seasonal camper at Bourne Scenic Park, and a sometimes Canal fisherman.
Professor Turo Tanaka used to own a bar called T-San's in Fall River, which I believe is now called the Depot.
Chief Jay Strongbow was from Providence, legend had it. He had a brother there who owned a business and had pictures of Strongbow all over the walls. |

I just watched that whole video and it brought me back to being a kid watching and reinacting the bouts with my Dad. Something about wrestling these days i can't watch one second of it but i could watch the old ones forever. The Gorilla's commentary was flawless and not over the top, it makes you think it's real. He was great. RIP Capt Lou.

Even see an Indian with a bald spot before? 
We used to call him Chief Jay Stromboli |
