Pro Wrestling isn't fixed... (read on before you jump me on this one)
Fixed would mean that some shady dealings are going on back stage involving people from outside the sport attempting to persuade a result.
There's no outside influences advising someone to take a dive for a backhander.
The fact is the guys are paid to act out a match with a predetermined storyline. So they give all they have for the time alloted in order to tell a story that has a result that is part of the story.
He was always cool to watch on tv-the bigger the match up the greater the participation by Lou Albano and-frankly-he was too good to ignore. He could sell any match period!
can she get in the ring and use athletic skill to entertain people?
pro wrestling is the hardest sport to participate in physically despite any predetermined outcome. the training for wrestling alone would be enough anyone..as far as i'm concerned, this bitch can stick the O.J. glove up her ass.
Captain Lou is awsome to participate knowing the outcome. HA HA HA!!! "The machine is a liar!!!" But why do that to the kids? It's like doing an afternoon special and putting parents on a poly and asking them if Santa is real.
Pro-wrestling is like magic. Everyone knows its fake as hell, but we love it, regardless. Half the fun is in wondering (or knowing) how they do it. I don't watch wrestling to see a "sport". I watch it, for the same reason I watch movies, and sitcoms. To be entertained. Nothing more.
I mean, you people who say "How can you watch wrestling, when you know it's fake?" Well, have you ever watched a magic show? Did you enjoy it? Did you honestly think it was real? Did it matter?
@balboapension seriously, back then if i was watching this as a child i would have believed Lou. The conviction his voice is so strong it keeps people guessing. Now that everyone knows the truth, i can appreciate this video even more.
@RyogaVee there's a wisdom to that. Drama TV or even comedy TV wouldn't be as good if they continually kept showing you the boom mics, the lighting rigs, or kept winking at you that it's scripted. Back in the day they thought no one would buy tickets if they knew it wasn't a real contest, but I think there's another value in making sure you suspend disbelief to keep the entertainment factor up.
I don't want to go to a movie that keeps showing me 'behind the scenes features' as I'm watching it.
hi this is the grandson of captain lou albano. I am as well named louis albano. I just ant to say I am so glad there are people in this world that care and remeber him enough to make a great video like this. Thank you. If he was around today he would say" God Bless You"
lmao wrestling was more fun back in his day, it was fake but we all pretended it was real to be entertained. like any show. now that its the wwe its lame
I'd say he made Super Mario popular among Mario fans because he wrestled and then played Mario as if Mario was a former wrestler before he became a plumber.
RIP Cap't Lou...you were a great entertainer, we remember you so fondly from all the events at the Mid Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, for years you were a staple and just made us laugh non stop. Rest well Cap't. Miss you much
Poor dude, having to be subject to a bullshit machine, I mean, all he had to do was very hardily close up his Sphincter and everything would read out as "true".
First of all, that lady is a bitch, and she kept a straight face when Cpt. Lou Albano started yelling at her, she has a pair of balls bigger than I do. Priceless
Lou's response to the first question... Notice he didn't say,"It's not fixed!" Or "It's real!" I think he got as close as to saying it's fixed without saying it. Most know it's fixed but there are some who don't believe it is. It's still a workout and can be dangerous though. Anyway, Captain Lou was awesome.
now that just mean! captian lou albano is the most looked up to wrestler, and he wouldnt lie in the name of the Super Mario Brothers Super Show and in the name of Pasta!
An absolute disgusting accusation against professional wrestling, it makes the late great Captain Lou Albano look like a complete idiot. Fuck this segment, fuck that lady.
And you know what, fuck anyone that doesn't have any respect for professional wrestling. I've been a fan for eleven years now, and I always will be a proud fan.
I too love the irony -I'm a nice guy and get yelled at for accidently wrapping my cock around elk's mothers tonsils and yanking her eyes out of her mouth while accidently blasting a massive piping hot load of Jizz at her face.
Fox news was actually there and showed it just the way it happened- even down to the part where elk worriedly ran to her side as bubbling semen poured from her empty eye sockets and lathered his head like a shampoo commercial gone wrong.
When the hell was this taped? Sometime in the 90's I guess from the WWF Attitude logo and the way Albano looks. Why would FOX even do something like this? McMahon started telling people it was faked sometime in the 80's for God's sake.
What the hell is wrong with the media. For the love of all things holy, McMahon has said openly it's predetermined for 30 fucking years. Get over it already. Movies are fake, tv shows are fake, get over it already.
Talk about a mythbuster!! Man, who would have thought that pro wrestling was staged??? Hey Marcia, why don't you go to disney world and strap Mickey Mouse to that lie detector and get him to admit he is not a real mouse.
I love wrestling as much as the next person. But how fickle do you have to be to do an interview about if wrestling is fake or not... i thought it was blatantly obvious
That was Both Mean and Pathetic... FOX is Responsible for the Biggest Snakes in the Entertainment Industry and they should all have their Mouths Sewn Shut and half Pirhanna's shoved up their asses...
Every part of this clip is staged, including Albano's reactions at the end. You're not going to cheat a polygraph, but at the same time, Capt. Lou seems to believe strongly in kayfabe.
I hate how mainstream media tries to cover rasslin'. It's just stupid. They waste half the interview saying it's fake and whining about the violence... I'd rather actually hear them ask Albano good questions. The validity of wrestling is more complex than simply "real or fake?"
F that machine!!! F this show. I believe the Captain!!!. and this was obviously a scam. and im glad the Captain had enough class to take the test and NOT SLAP that tester. I can look at his eyes and see he's telling the truth.
Captian lou is my great uncle
