[9.0] "Seine In-Ring Karriere war nicht das wo für Captain Lou Albano von großer Bedeutung stand. Erst seine Managerrolle machte ihn groß und andere die heute Legends sind ebenfalls, besonders in denn 80's ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Golden Era."
[9.0] "One of the best talkers in the history of the business and a key player in 80s wrestling as a manager. Helped Snuka, who was an amazing physique, good wrestling and total *** talker get over, as well as others just starting. Albano is basically the template for guys like Paul Heyman. Then the Rock n Wrestling Connection and in between a host of others. Very good wrestler but most people have only seen stuff from when he was managing and wearing the rubberbands on his face which starts around when he's 55 or so or on "Super Mario Bros" or "Wise Guys" as "Frank the Fixer" when he's probably about 60 or so. How many wrestlers look good at 55 or 60? Google "The Sicilians" heel team in the early 1960s for an idea of the guy in his prime as a wrestler. There's a reason all the boys respected him. He used to be a good wrestler and he was always a good talker. Also, he was Italian and by all accounts a decent guy who treated his family well."
[4.0] "Crazy rambling manger on the level of Luscious Johnny V. I never was the biggest Albano fan because he was hard to follow sometimes. Saw 2 or 3 of his tag matches from the 70's and he could sell with the best of them. But his skills outside of that weren't the best."
[4.0] "Captain Lou Albano I mostly saw as a manager. He blew up in 1985 after getting into a feud with Cyndi Lauper and then getting clobbered over the head by Roddy Piper, as well as appearing in Lauper's video with the Goonies cast. Then, he managed The British Bulldogs the last couple of years before retiring. He later appeared as Mario in the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, but was far too old by that point to be believable in that role for me. Decent manager, but never saw him in his prime."
[3.0] "Ranting unintelligible annoying SLOB who didn't help the people he managed in any positive way. I loved Super Mario Brothers though. EDIT! I finally found it: If you have the WWE Network or Peacock, go to All Star Wrestling Season 10 Episode 33 / August 16th 1980. About 37 minutes in. Rick Martel vs Jose Estrada, Lou is at ringside for unknown reasons. Some grandpa from the audience starts swinging (and connecting) at Albano with a wooden chair. Lou then waylays gramps as security swarms in. HILARIOUS. career highlight! Must watch! 1 full point added for this moment in history, even though it was the old timer that did all the work and carried the Captain to something compelling."
[10.0] "Für mich ist Captain Lou Albano, neben Bobby Heenan und Paul Heyman der größte Manager aller Zeiten. Verstand es als Heel die Massen gegen sich aufzubringen und als Face das Publikum an seine Seite zu locken wie kaum ein anderer. Managte unzählige Namen die später zu Legenden dieses Sports werden sollte. Ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Rock 'n' Wrestling Ära die der damaligen WWF zu nationaler Berühmtheit verhalf."
[7.0] "Welcome to the Super Mario Brothers Super Show! Love Captain Lou in that role! But as a wrestling personality, Lou was great. An icon of the Rock 'n' Wrestling Era. I am not rating him higher because it feels like he never say his full potential. He was also mostly known for his looks alone more than any psychology he brought to the role. I wish we could have seen more of Albano."
[10.0] "Excellent Manager! What you can say is that he is one of the only manager that was great as a babyface and heel. As a wrestler he was decent when he teamed up with Tony Alitmore as the Sicilians. I find him pretty funny. Albano changed what a manager looks and is in wrestling."
[7.0] "I knew him more outside of wrestling growing up. As a manager he's solid but just not as memorable and iconic as he's made out to be. Growing up I assumed his popularity stemmed from his success as a wrestler only to find years later he was essentially just a jobber."
[10.0] "Captain Lou Albano is both an amazing manager, but more importantly a major reason for Wrestlemania l's success. Without him WWE history might never had have a Rock n Wrestling era."
[10.0] "Legendärer Manager, der viele Tag Teams zu Gold geführt hat. Darüber hinaus ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Rock'n-Wrestling-Ära und bekannt durch die Super Mario Brothers Super Show. Schöne Erinnerungen."
[9.0] "Der Manager der es schaffte, die meisten Teams zum Tag-Team Gold zu führen. Die Mafia-Anekdote spricht für sein Talent, die Zahlen belegen es. War sicherlich ein Charakter, dessen Blütezeit weit vor der Popularisierung des Wrestling lag, konnte jedoch nicht nur das Tempo der Zeit mitgehen, sondern hat auch erheblichen Anteil an der Kombination "MAin-Stream Entertainment / Wrestling" - sein Mitwirken bei verschiedenen Crossovern (bspw. der Rock'n Wrestling Geschichte rund um Cindy Lauper) brachte im Nachhinein viel Geld in die Kassen. Er war neben u. a. Hogan eines der Zugpferde das Wrestling aus seinem Nischendasein zu befreien. Hatte seine letzten Auftritte mit den Shrinkers 93/94 und dann, nach seiner Hall Of Fame Aufnahme 1996 meist nur noch als Zuschauer in der ersten Sitzreihe bei unterschiedlichen PPV's. Eine wirkliche Legende."
[8.0] "Als Manager gut und als er bei UWF seiNe eigene Talk Show bekam war er grandios. Ich gebe hier eine 8! Da er mir als Manager gefiel aber nie der grosse war."
