Speaking on behalf of the Albano family, Wrestler's Rescue is sad to report that Captain Lou Albano is currently at home with his family under hospice care.

Albano is not suffering from cancer, according to his family. While the family is grateful for the outpouring of affection, please respect its privacy during these tough times.

Making a huge mark in the World Wide Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Federation, Albano was the manager of many bizarre tag team champions including the Masked Executioners, the Mongols, the Yukon Lumberjacks, the Moondogs and the Wild Samoans. He is a WWE Hall of Famer.

Wrestler's Rescue is collecting donations to be forwarded to the Albano family for medical expenses. Visit WrestlersRescue.Org or e-mail questions to WrestlersRescue@aol.com.
