Captain Lou Albano, dead at 76. Football player, professional wrestler, pop icon–all in all, a life well lived.
It’s striking looking at the contrast between some wrestlers, such as Albano or Andre the Giant or Ted Dibiase–who really do use the sport to live big, wonderful, only-in-America kind of lives–and others, like Jake Roberts or the Von Erichs, who just get used up by it. What’s sad is how much the latter category outnumbers the former.
