Lance Russell spent nearly four decades as the voice of the Memphis territory, and he’s one of the greatest wrestling announcers ever to speak into a mic.
Lance’s smooth delivery and distinctive style was unrivaled.
Whether using his expertise to guide an inexperienced young wrestler through a TV promo or describing the action in the ring in his almost poetic style, Lance’s always delivered amazing work!
The CAC honored him in 2016 with an Announcer’s Award.
