Bruno Sammartino:
Lou will be missed. Many good times with him. Thoughts to the family.
Jim Ross:
Sorry to hear about the passing of Captain Lou Albano, WWE Hall of Fame Manager and former member of the Sicilians tag team with Tony Altimore. Lou was a true "character" who was a decent wrestler but gained huge fame in the WWE explosion of the 80's as a manager. Lou appearing in a Cyndi Lauper music video back in the day was nice exposure for Lou and WWE and put Captain Lou into pop culture awareness. Lou had many stints in WWE but always "came home" and we wish his family and friends our utmost condolences. The Good Lord has his hands full keeping the Captain in check in Heaven.
Tito Santana:
He was a good man with a lot of energy and a great big heart. He did alot for our business. I know he had been sick with a bad heart for some time. God Bless him and may he rest in peace. Tito www.titosantana.net

Matt Morgan:
U gotta be f'n kidding me! Just heard the bad news that Capt Lou Albano passed. He was just as much of a "star" to me as a kid, as was the wrestlers! One of the better personalities our sport has produced. He was very vital in mainstreaming "rock-n-wrestling" in 80s
Ken Anderson:
RIP Lou Albano. I was laid up in the hospital for 9 days in 2001, and Rob Norwood and Shane Hills brought me an autographed 8 x 10 from him.
Paul Heyman:
