Albano, who was sent home from the hospital earlier this week and place under hospice care, was 76 years old.
Albano is best known to non-wrestling fans as the father in Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" video. That helped kick off the Rock 'n Wrestling connection that launched the then-WWF to national prominence in the 1980s.

He was doing body piercings way before it was trendy, kinda poking fun at his 'not so smooth' features.
He always showed the persona of a cantankerous scruffy old man in public but was just one of the boys."On a cold winter day, a group of porcupines huddled together for warmth. But soon they felt the mutual quills and drew apart. Whenever the need for warmth brought them close together, this second evil was repeated so that they were tossed back and forth between the two kinds of suffering until they discovered a moderate distance that proved most tolerable.----Thus the need for company, born of the emptiness and monotony inside them, drives men together, but their many revolting qualities and intolerable faults repel them again. The medium distance that they finally discover and that makes association possible is politeness and good manners."
