Pro wrestling icon Captain Lou Albano dies at age 76

October 14, 2009

From The Associated Press--

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.

That's all I'm showing, as the article is four paragraphs long--and the fourth paragraph is the longest, but only two lines long.
