In the chaotic world of Memphis wrestling Lance Russell was our calming voice
He reassured us that things would be OK
Great host,commentator,announcer & storyteller
I still say "Wait till the King finds out about this" & he made The Empty arena match
We Love you @MemphisLance pic.twitter.com/hxjJXEZaio
