Then “Captain” Lou Albano showed up.
Albano was a bombastic ex-wrestler who had become even more famous as a heel manager, talking up and aiding various baddies of the ring. The size of his midsection was rivaled by the size of his mangy salt-and-pepper beard, which he’d adorn and contort with rubber bands—one of his idiosyncratic trademarks, along with his piercings, Hawaiian shirts, and flip-flops. He talked fast and well, and his main job on TNT that night was chatting up a story line that would prove to be massively consequential for the WWF: his feud with pop star Cyndi Lauper.
