Lou Albano
Lou Albano (born July 29, 1933) was a professional wrestler and one-time voice of Mario for the Nintendo series. For most of his career, he was a notorious heel (or "bad guy") both as a wrestler (for a while) or a manager. He wore rubber bands "through" his facial cheeks. In 1982, he and Ray the Crippler Stevens turned on Superfly Jimmy Snuka causing Snuka to become a fan favorite. Stevens actually piledrove Snuka on the cement floor (kayfabe) back before there were mats on the arena floor outside the ring. Lou also managed the Wild Samoans when they were WWF tag team champions. He had a memorable feud with rock star Cyndi Lauper in the mid 1980s during the Rock n Wrestling Connection era around the time of Wrestlemania I.
