Hate to admit it but I have watched since little kid and my Great Grandma was a fan.

I think it might have been the Irish in her but she loved to listen to her "brawlers" as she called it. Actually used to be on the radio before tv.

People get old and some of those guys have sons who wrestle now.

Quite a few of the older boxers and wrestlers retired here in Sacramento. Guess they like the weather and then I think Cambell's soup hired some. One old fighter was in the nurseing home with the Princess. I sure hope his family moves him like I did her. I tried to look out for him but don't think he is getting the greatest care either. Many of the nurses are afraid of him and he is just a sweet heart really.

LOS ANGELES – Captain Lou Albano, the charismatic professional wrestler who appeared in Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" video, has died. He was 76. World Wrestling Entertainment confirmed the death Thursday on its Web site.

Albano performed with WWE from 1983 to 1996, when he was inducted into its hall of fame. He began his wrestling career in Canada in 1953.

Albano expanded his fan base greatly when he played Lauper's father in the video for her hit single on a fledgling MTV in 1983. He later claimed to be the catalyst for her success, according to WWE

Lou Albano, along with Jimmy Hart and Bobby Heenan are/were the greatest managers in the business.

Lou is going to be greatly missed.
