American Hero (Captain Lou Albano) Has Passed

[ItsFrankieBoy]

American Hero??? Why was he a hero?

[orioleman5]

@ItsFrankieBoy Because he gave so much of himself to others, as well as financially backing and donating so much of his time along w/Cyndi Lauper to The Multiple Scelerosis Society, So in my humble opinion that makes him a hero!!

[CODmw2blackops100]

lol tyt network. hahahahahahaha!!!!

[Zaroon115]

Don't worry guys, he just got teleported to the Mushroom Kingdom

[Vassild]

the only way these fucking sorry excuses get any views is cause people accidently click their videos....

[flairwhoo]

The female co-anchor couldn't have been any less interested if she tried.

[kostelo21]

Once a Mario, always a Mario.

[mariomoney1001]

captine lu kinda looks like my grandma no kidin excepte my grandma is italin if captin lu is italin

[imlaughing2death]

I can't imagine how Cenk will react when Bobby Heenan passes. He's got to be one of, if not the best manager of all time.

[turo9992000]

Ana doesn't understand

[zoidsfreak]

do the mario

better watch out dude one he gets a mushroom he kick anybody ass

[zoidsfreak]

do the mario

[blupheonix44]

Damn, I MISS old school wrestling....

BTLS is right..... NO ONE, can cut a good promo anymore....

[drew7473]

show man!!!!!!!!

[Anon371]

Do the Mario! Swing your arms from side to side. Come on, it's time to go. Do the Mario! Take one step, and then again. Let's do the Mario, all together now! You got it! It's the Mario! Do the Mario! Swing your arms from side to side. Come on, it's time to go. Do the Mario! Take one step, and then again. Let's do the Mario, all together now! Come on now. Just like that!

[grozde]

Wow!

Now how retarded was that?!!!

[RangerRob2009]

I never liked Lou. I was ringside at a match back in either 1970 when Lou was managing Tarzan Tyler. Some 12 year old wanted his autograph and was standing below the ring trying to get Lou's attention. Lou jumped out of the ring and punched the kid in the face. The boy was bleeding above his eye and Lou ran like the coward he was. I can't like or miss such a man.

[JacobLego]

@RangerRob2009 just DO THE MARIO!

[louisalbano31]

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"

[projackX]

They didn't even talk about him being Mario!

he started a craze that is still strong today...

This one is for you Lou!

DO THE MARIO!

[harleydude121]

check out the look on the female commentator - she's not feeling his passion. Capt Lou was awesome - those were the days when wrestling was at it's best

[blupheonix44]

@harleydude121

Hell yes!

[NikkisBabe87]

Love ya Lou,Miss ya. *Salutes*

[zombiewarrior88]

i just found out today that he died. r.i.p.

[diagreen]

great entertainer

[xXLucariOXx571]

Was he a smoker?!

[johnsurfkiller]

great show the captian would be pleased

[MrBrooksssss]

in the words of the captian, ,,,,have a happy happy merry merry happy happy,,,,r.i.p. captian,

[WorldsSmartestRetard]

Captian R.I.P =(

[KETURI101]

MY CAP'M MY CAP'M

[werdman24]

RIP Captain. Often imitated never duplicated.

[73rx3]

He lived in my town.

met him a few times in passing,and he was a true gentleman ,his son cut my hair. he's also a great guy!

RIP Lou! MJB

[DominoRyder]

That man rules for making a tribute to Captain Lou, the girl clearly has no idea who he's talking about, but god bless the Young Turks guy for making a tribute to one of the most influential men in the wrestling industry.

[JayDee284]

Lets do the Mario for Lou R.I.P

[Desmaad]

Whenever I think of Mario, I think of Lou Albano's portrayal. He gave the character a certain gruffness that is sadly lacking that other dork's version.

[x170063]

I met Lou once when i worked in a coffee shop, he was quite a nice guy. RIP Capt. Lou, you were awesome.

[HippieBuddah]

Often imitated, never duplicated. Rest in Peace Mr. Albano.

[MuscleCatClothing]

That's sad.. :(

[majorporpoise]

My father was a friend of this man, & I live near him. He was a great man, & a U.S. Army veteran. He was one of the few celebrities that was a good person. And the only celebrity I ever looked up to.

Good job, Cenk. I want to thank you personally for paying your respect for this great man.

[oldschool6804]

lou was a nice person, i have met him. he was rambunctious thouhg behind the scenes in wrestling alot of the wrestlers talk about how tempermental he was backstage!

[Koolkid471]

He his always in our hearts

[lostinseganet]

mama mea I loved him as Mario. ♫ swing your arms..to side to side. Jump up and down and go DO the Mariooo ♫

[EpochSounds]

Fuck yeah! I was hoping I'd look in the comments and see a Mario reference. I'm glad others will remember him for his personification of a loved classic video game character. Of course, now I have that song stuck in my head . . .

[Remus0387]

Cenk another big fan of wrestling, look at Ana noplussed face, she has no idea what cenk talking about. Condolescences for Captain Lou Albano's family that a stalwart of the wrestling world has died.

[yuukisama2001]

OMG?? Lou Albano died?

This was unexpected. He was really a fun guy. My brother and I used to watch the WWF quite a bit. Let's not forget he was in music vids. Cyndi Lauper. So long memories.

[nocome2]

delivered memorable promos that made him wrestling's most villainous manager.

Man, natural causes, well finally.

Death fucking sucks. Death, we all got to close eyes. Hey, average person says I'm going to be there tommorrow. And it is a dance. Then tommorrow he's killed in a car accident.. Death sucks but Capatin Lou, survived weigh longer than most wrestlers and twice Eddie Guerrero.

Rest in peace, I'll be there someday

[unforgivingreality]

He was Mario,

[sammstein69]

how is he a hero. he's just an entertainer.

[strangelover67]

rest in peace captain lou there will never be another one like you.

[songOmatic]

Look at Ana... no interest at all!

[WhiteChocolut]

bout time dis nigga said sumthin smart

RIP Capt

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Who cares about Captain Lou and all the wrestlers of that bygone era. The only person that counts in wrestling today is none other than Jeff Hardy.

[brutallyhonest123]

you're an asshole.

[WhiteChocolut]

Jeff Hardy is sitting in jail asshole and he will never be in WWE again!

[DTMTroy]

Who brings up Jeff fucking Hardy in a Capt. Lou video. Jeff Hardy is a druggy piece of shit. Good ridance to that moron for fucking himself over.

[WhiteChocolut]

i wuz replying to this smart ass who dissed Lou and brought up Hardy! asshole !

[DTMTroy]

Yeah I know "asshole" I was agreeing with you. Not every person on here is trying to be a hating troll prick...although ya wouldn't know it by the way people are.

[WhiteChocolut]

ok then

[acholl980]

No doubt Friday Night Smackdown will pay a tribute to Lou this end week.

[harr77]

I hadn't thought about him in years rip.

[FIGHTonSC84]

RIP Captain

[Krucius]

Ana looks lost lol

[tomitstube]

i'm lost too, idc.

[Krucius]

yeah, but i'm also a wrestling fan so I hear what Cenk's saying XD

[Sneekyboyz]

Captain Lou was the best. Isnt Captain Lou Cyndi Lopers father? Very cool man..

[MachineKing1313]

Only in her Girls Wanna Have Fun music video and other videos but in real life no....lol

[NYCman530]

The greatest manager of all times. My favorite quote of his: "He has the brain of a dehydrated b-b, put it in a parakeet, it'll fly backwards". Albano had a good heart outside the ring with his tireless work for Multiple Sclerosis. This was a sad day. RIP, Captain!

[WARDOG1138]

I love it when Ana's like, "whatever Cenk" heh! Classic

[SystemShocker540]

R.I.P. Capt. Lou

[salsaaddict1]

NpjbEnterprise, it's cause she's got a fab set of nana's and is semi-cute. obviously. But ur right. she does seem a bit uncomfortable with this story.

[NOweWONT]

And how exactly was this guy an 'american hero'???? Gimme a phucken break.

[G0D9]

retard he wasnt being serious.

[phantomofmyopera]

Ana from 1:27

"Wow... Boys are retarded..."

[MetalGearKelan]

Kind of surprised the Captain's passing was mentioned on the show. Very classy, hats off to Cenk. RIP Captain Lou

[bigcomcast]

To bad Vince McMahon ruined pro wrestling by killing off the regional circuit like the NWA. AWA. R.I.P. CAPTAIN LOU

[acholl980]

Ted Turner should share some of the blame for buying NWA and having no promotional knowledge to wrestling marketing. He might not have the whole thing to Vince

[NpjbEnterprise]

R.I.P. Captain Lou...we will miss you. Also, why is Ana their, if she's not into it?

[Shadowlit001]

DO TEH MARIO!

[greyflcn]

da na nuh na na nuh nuh

[monkeybash3000]

RIP...Captain Lou...You were one of my childhood icons than I grew up with back in the day. You were the Mick Foley of that era.

[Anidem9]

um... who died?

[Diamondelle84]

R.I.P Captain Lou!

[ToTheConquered]

Could Ana look anymore less interested?

[WhirlingWolves]

Proably only if she started outright yawning and/or looking at her watch.

[SALonghorn]

Kind of like me during Ana's Tyra Banks stories

[MrPerfect77]

If she looked less interested, she'd also be dead. R.I.P Lou...And Ana. If she wants to follow.

[Bottomf]

I saw him at the flleet in boston. he was so cool and larger than life. RIP Capt Lou

[marley54fd]

Man, I miss wrestling from back in the day. RIP Capt Lou.

[JAMamation]

who is he? ime nglish btw sorry

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

He was a wrestler, a manager, and an actor who played as Mario in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show.

He will be missed.

[JAMamation]

ok thankyou, rest in peace :)

[jingles373]

I had the pleasure of meeting Captain Lou several times and he was a true gentleman. I am heartbroken!

[burb72]

takes me back to

[DRDNIBOY]

I watched G.L.O.W. ;) lol Gorgeous ladies of wrestling hehhe

[gregwi562]

Captain Lou was the best.

[bobbytiger]

Lou Albano.

One of the greatest of all time.

RIP

[Hamhark98]

WHAT? MARIO DIED? NOOOOOOOOOO!

......What? He was a wrestler too??? Never knew that. Anyway MARIO IS DEAD!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[torontoismine]

YAWN who cares ? the guy was a fag, john cena  IS better, fact.

[ViLLiSTa]

Fuck this BS..

[sachaput]

I have a friend who met Captain Lou a couple of times. He has nothing bad to say about the guy. Condolences to his family & friends.  He was an entertainer!

[ThePresidentialTouch]

Ride, Captain,Ride.

Do not go quietly unto your grave, that was never your style.

See you when I see you. :)

[nintendofan4life]

Oh noooo. Mario!!!!!!!

[MaryJesusJoseph]

Sad, even though I only know him from the Cindy Lauper videos.

[Steadno]

Captain Lou Albano

[MajorIronwood]

Captain Lou also played Mario in the Super Mario Brothers Super Show.

Take one step and then again...

[sliferfan]

that's true i rember taht show, but i think he'll be remember most as one of the most sucessful managers in the wwf/wwe. jsut abotu every sperstar he's ever managed had some kind of title reign.

[danimal2888]

Swing your arms from side to side...

Miss ya Captain :(

[kevinlovestina07]

rip 2 a great man

[BlueOceanBelow]

Just found out that Lou Albano's brother Vinnie was Adam (Mythbuster) Savage's art teacher. There's one for your next six degrees of separation!

[ZombiedustXXX]

That's cool OceanBlueBelow. I knew this younger fellow at work ten years ago, who said he had The Iron Sheik as his substitute math teacher!

[rtjoker23]

RIP

[TQXPreturns]

The former Intercontinental Champion. Thank you for your contribution to professional wrestling. RIP Captain Lou Albano.

[HumanisticJones]

In honor of the Captain... everybody Do the Mario!

[jumar1281]

[Tounushi]

[Repomidnight]

Great tribute to a great entertainer.

[RezzaNL]

R.I.P. Mario

[KR15CO]

[fawfulmark2]

[TheKenolaBar]

LOL Ana looks like "WTF...."

[markvanslam]

Ana couldnt have looked more bored

[lmm85]

Ron Jeremy?

[dutchguy22]

I am with Ana on this. This is stupid. What hero ?

[danimal2888]

R.I.P. Mario

PASTA POWER!

[thomasrix]

the look on annas face is priceless as cenk harps on about wrestlers

[ICEGOD2]

One of the true stars of the biz. God bless you captain.

[SleepingGiantsSister]

I bet wwe will release a compilation of his wrestling to make some nostalgia money. Ahh it;s all about the FABULOUS MOOLA! (we'll see if anyone catches that reference)

[TheKenolaBar]

May they release it while I'm still young.

[carmie1818]

This was when wrestling was cool.

[grajeboys]

yeah, i remembered him, hes the manager of the moondogs during the early days of WWF....man, hes creepy, but i love this guy, heheheeh..i grew up watching this guys.

[BobChaos23]

Mario!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[friction00815]

unusual that such a healthy looking man would pass away

[Cyanidesin]

I'll always remember him from the Cindy Lauper videos =[

[pancho8721]

shit

[upabittoolate]

Cyndi Lauper could not be reached for comment.

[Jackthemeat]

one of the heroes of my childhood.

 You were awesome Capt. Lou thank you you will be missed.

[SquallAKALeon]

Nuuuu! Super Mario died! ;~;

[otakursed]

Damn, that sucks . . . though I was under the impression he'd died a while back. Probably was another WWF faded star, wouldn't surprise me, they all start to blur after awhile.

[duleekrauser]

you my boy lou! you well be missed.

[FlashFizz]

I remember him from Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and Goonies videos but that's it.

[baddmanaz]

the blonde wrestler could pass off as rush limbaugh's good twin.

[baddmanaz]

is he the "lou" in "lou bop" in the "she bop" lyrics?

[mdey1970]

I'm not a wrestling fan, but he was great in the movie Wise Guys.

[Kite208]

Ana look so bored and she looks like she dosnt care a shit what this guy have done.

[Pleblian]

Anna's face ... "priceless"

[angelwolf333]

i know him as a wrestler first i believe he was cindy laupers rep when she was a female wrestler back in the 80's.

then he was mario later.

if i remember right mon-thur it was mario brother's but friday was a link cartoon.

i had the gold legend of zelda i believe it was the first video game that had a battery operated save.

[onlywhenprovoked]

he wasn't cindis rep or manager, that was just a joke he made on some mtv show they were both on.

[kuunami]

I used to love when he played Mario as the host of the nintendo cartoon. R.I.P captain.

[erixonline]

Tony Atlas, Ivan Putski, and the bunch. What memories! RIP LOU!

[liknital07]

Man, that clip brought back memories. Wrestling today is not what it used to be.

RIP Cap't Lou

[sharinggon456]

i didnt know he was a wrestler but i knew him from the super mario super show good guy we will miss

[falconfira]

American Hero? Setting our standards pretty low these days huh.

(Let the flame responses begin)

[ez3002008]

i love Ana's look in her face during the whole clip...she doesn't know what the fuck cenk is talking about....lol

[arad7613]

Those were the days when professional wrestling was good, when the wrestlers were first and foremost ENTERTAINERS, who could also throw a punch.

After wrestling got big, it drew guys who were athletes, and they train hard on technique and become very good wrestlers, but most of them lack any charisma or humor. That's not fun. If I want to watch super-athletes, I watch real sports. Sports-entertainment is rubbish if it isn't entertaining.

[Bigbossjin]

The good ol days.

[dutchguy22]

i am with Ana on this. How boring and stupid this clip is.

what legend, what hero ?

[ganondufus]

"Hey paisanos, it's the Super Mario Brothers Super Show!"

[AlmightBlackDragon]

I loved how bored Ana looked in this story, lol.

[billthebutcher2]

Cenk said it all. RIP.

[angelinaramon]

R.I.P. Captain Lou

By the was Ana looked like she was lost or something...lol

[WorldGreatest1]

A legend has passed. RIP

[SousouYou]

Mario!! *sniff* You can't die yet! You still have 2 lives left! *sobs* No, Mario.

[angelwolf333]

lol good one.

if i remember right it mon-thur it was mario brother's but friday was a link cartoon.

i had the gold legend of zelda i believe it was the first video game that had a battery operated save.

[Cubfan2240]

This was devistating news. Captain Lou got so much talent over while he was managing. A great pioneer in the industry.

RIP

[thetrivialityofbeing]

RIP Captain Lou Albano

[Capng123]

NO!!!!

I need a power star and a fire flower... STAT!!!

Come back, Mario! The Princess is not in that castle!!!

[xtlhogciao]

greg the hammer valentine is a diagruntled dick now

[Theinvisiblegopher]

Manly tears

[DragoonSorceress]

Maaaarioooo! Mario? :(

~Meg

[gefan3]

AK-47's face is priceless at several points. A charming mixture of boredom and befuddlement.

[SevereRepugnance]

Ah man, not Mario! What a bummer. RIP

[SeanGamer91]

He will be missed, because in some way shape or form he was apart of our childhood. It could be from watching wrestling in the 70's and 80's, or by watching him in the Super Mario Brother's Super Show. Either way Captain Lou Albano was always there, so fun and entertaining to watch and listen. May he R.I.P.

[m22k3yt]

"Do the Mario!!!"

[A86]

This man was awesome! R.I.P.

[SsLordMagus]

He was the one TRUE Mario! :D

[fredromatic]

captain lou albama was one of the best managers (something that is becoming a lost artform) in his day, he will be missed

[strylowskia90]

RIP Mario
