WWE Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano (Louis Vincent Albano) has died. He was 76 years old. His cause of death is still unknown at this time. Earlier this week, his family sent out a statement that he was under hospice care. They said he did not have cancer and asked for supporters to respect his privacy.

Our condolences go out to the friends and family of the late Captain Lou.

Here are some Tweets from Wrestlers about Lou's passing:

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

Steve Keirn:

R.I.P. Captain Lou Albano. We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family during this time.

Taz:

sorry to hear about the GREAT Capt Lou….god bless.

Christopher Daniels:

RIP Captain Lou.

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.

Jeremy Borash:

Wearing a rubber band on my cheek today. RIP Captain Lou. One of my favs.
