Those of us who remember wrestling from the days of the first Wrestlemania can't help but remember Lou.

Funny thing is I never saw him in a match, just as a manager and personality. The memories...

I'm gonna watch a youtube episode of Super Mario Bros. Super Show and Cyndi Lauper videos in tribute.

I think he was in one of Cyndi Laupers videos in the early 80s. I didn't get the rubber bands pierced into his face but thats just me. I liked the early 80s wrestling showmen such as Superfly Jimmy Snuka, The "Beach Bum" Don Muraco, The "missing link" . King Kong Bundy, and rowdy Roddy Piper.

The news, oddly enough, is banned in China.

RIP buddy.

You are probably right, I just remember the fans yelling "Beach Bum" as he entered the squared circle, and his despised manager The Grand Wizard (Ernie Roth). I think Cap'n Lou also was his manager earlier on.

"Glad" to hear he died of natural causes. So many wrestlers these days and in the past going out by drugs or violence.
