If you’ve ever watched any of the classic Memphis Wrestling from its heyday, you will have heard the voice of Lance Russell who has passed away today following complications from a fall aged 91. The sad news comes after his daughter lost her battle with cancer just a few days prior, so thoughts are with the Russell family at this time.
Jerry Lawler Tweeted earlier today leading the tributes.
