Isn’t he Cyndi Lauper’s real father?

I remember him, now. He was in a couple of Cindy Lauper vids I believe. RIP.

MTV’s brief golden age ended when they inexplicably turned the channel over to Cyndi Lauper and her pro wrestling freakshow featuring Albano et al.
To: EveningStar
Was he denied care or did he die despite the efforts of doctors to save him?

I liked the rubber bands in his beard. That was a classy, tasteful touch. Attractive also.

But then, so much about “professional” “wrestling” really is isn’t it?

During his days as an active wrestler, he formed a tag team with Tony Altamore known as “The Sicilians”, promoting themselves as members of the Mafia. One night in Chicago, they got a visit from some “Goodfellas” who basically told them to tone down the Mafia gimmick.

He was one of the very first to get pierced...

Rest well Captain Lou
