Legendary pro wrestling manager Captain Lou Albano died this morning, MTV.com is reporting.

Albano, who was sent home from the hospital earlier this week and place under hospice care, was 76 years old.

Albano is best known to non-wrestling fans as the father in Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" video. That helped kick off the Rock 'n Wrestling connection that launched the then-WWF to national prominence in the 1980s.

He probably did set a record for longest lived wrestler ever.

Super Mario 64 onwards would have been so much cooler had he stayed on as the voice of Mario.

You have to remember, the wrestlers back then weren't filling their bodies with HGH and suffering concussions on a regular basis.

Sadly, the YouTube version cuts off "Mean" Gene Okerlund, Vince McMahon, and Jesse "The Body" Ventura's commentary.
