When Mario later goes out to pick some pizza, Albano shows up and meets Luigi. In the segment, Cyndi Lauper announces that Albano has gone missing when she had planned to go on a picnic lunch with him, and instead found rubber bands for his beard and a note that read "Dear Cyndi, I'm sorry that I'm not here but I've gone for good".Ĭyndi forms a search party with Mario and Luigi at Mario Brothers Plumbing along with several volunteers and search teams stationed around the world, which ultimately fails not long afterward. Super Show!.Īlbano appears as himself in the live-action segment " Captain Lou Is Missing". Super Show! Īlbano, appearing as himself on The Super Mario Bros. Albano also hired a barber to come on set and shave off his trademark goatee in order to give him a more Mario-like appearance.Īlbano passed away in 2009, twenty years after his Mario debut, after having been under a long period of hospice care. Albano was a guest on a 1989 episode of Regis and Kathie Lee, whereupon he announced his new role. The role of Mario was arguably his best-known role outside of wrestling.
So he decided to stop wrestling and work as a manager and he managed The Headshrinkers, Andre the Giant and he even appeared as the father figure in Cyndi Lauper's music video, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. So he became a good guy or (as they call in wrestling) a babyface, he ended up breaking his back twice. People started throwing rocks and snowballs at him and he thought, "This is ridiculous, I'm gonna get myself killed." Another problem was that Albano was facing harassment from Mafia members who demanded the Sicilians be dissolved on account of that gig being too much like actual Mafioso. He started working in a tag team called the Sicilians.
