Captain Lou Albano was first a wrestler in his long and storied career in professional wrestling, and then a manager. He managed some of the most successful tag teams in wrestling history, and boasted that he had managed the most tag team champions of all time. As a wrestler, he won the Midwest Tag Team Championship in 1961 with Tony Altimore, and the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) tag team championship with Altimore in 1967.

Lou Albano’s Early Life

Louis Vincent Albano was born on July 29, 1933, in Rome, Italy. His family later moved to New York. He was one of five children in his family. He decided to become a wrestler around age 20, and made his debut in the 1950s with his tag team partner Tony Altimore. They were known as The Sicilians.

Lou Albano’s Managing Career

Albano was better known for his managing skills than his wrestling skills, however. During his career he managed fifteen tag teams, all of which were tag champs at some point. Among others, he managed The Yukon Lumberjacks, the Wild Samoans, The Executioners, the Valiant Brothers, The US Express, the Moondogs and The British Bulldogs. The last World Wrestling Federation tag team he guided to the tag titles were the Headshrinkers, Samu and Fatu in 1994.
