R.I.P. Lance Russell



October 3rd 2017
Legendary Memphis announcer Lance Russell has died at the age of 91.  I got to see him for a short time in the early 1980s when one of our local Indianapolis tv stations picked up Memphis wrestling.  He soon became my favorite voice in wrestling and remained that until the end.
