Wow, and I already had a hard time deciding if my Halloween costume should be Michael Jackson, Ted Kennedy, or Walter Cronkite!
RIP He had quite a good sense of humor.
Day day for Italians.

Depends. If you are going for the effect of scaring children (especially boys) you gotta go with Michael.
RIP
As always, if you'd like ON or OFF my wrasslin' ping list, let me know
He was a good Mario.
RIP
Well, Since We're Talking About Wrestling: Cyndi Lauper, Mr. T, Hulk Hogan And...Andy Warhol?!? Posted 3/31/08 4:49 pm ET by MTV News in MTV News VaultSince we posted about 50 Cent skipping out on Wrestlemania down below, it got one of our producers, Andrew Millard, thinking about one of the more bizarre segments in the MTV News vaults.
Andrew writes:
Any wrestling story is an excuse to dust off some of the classic WWF footage we have in our library. Witness the post match interview from 1985's "The War To Settle The Score" - the precursor to Wrestlemania I. It features Mean Gene Okerlund interviewing an extremely agitated Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, Capt. Lou Albano and Cyndi Lauper. Oh, and also pro-wrestling's least likely fan, Andy Warhol.
Seriously? Yeah, Seriously. It's like someone made the whole thing up.
And while they may claim to be wrestling rock, The Dictators had Handsome Dick Manitoba on lead vocals (starting around 1973).
Captain Lou Albano, legendary WWF-era wrestling manager and Cyndi Lauper video star, dies at 76
He appeared with NRBQ and the song was “Captain Lou Albano.”
Can’t remember the album name.
Never a diehard fan of WWF but Lou seemed to fit right in with the big show. RIP Lou. I did once go see the WWF at the county fair hockey rink, where I got to see Andre the Giant wrestle three victims at once. He flogged them for awhile and finished them off by knocking their three heads together like coconuts. There was no seating, and our group having enjoyed some brews before the event, were rolling on the ground in laughter. Just seeing Andre was worth the price of admission.
Mario’s the first thing that comes to mind when I hear his name. I never did see him wrestle.
RIP Capt.
So long you pencil neck geek.
youre thinking of the wrong guy i think.
