Captain Lou, the man who epitimizes Mario-ness to me and embodies a period of my childhood (the Video Game era), has passed.

I actually got my current beardstyle from him...

was anyone else a fan?

I was a fan - that sucks...

Pretty sure he was also the guy Cyndi Lauper hammerlocked in the music video for "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

Indeed he was.

Sorry to hear this, Capt Lou was a great personality in wrestling.....
