	http://www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/2017/10/03/legendary-memphis-wrestling-announcer-lance-russell-dies-91/726519001/ For my money, the only man who came close to Gordon Solie as a professional wrestling announcer. My earliest wrestling memories are from Memphis, and he would call the action every Saturday morning. It's terrible more people didn't know him.

	I have to admit, I don't know him. But the simple fact that he was a staple in Memphis and all the classic stuff that happened there makes him important to the history. Part of Lawler/Kaufman, etc. A lot of wrestlers pay tribute to him. BUt maybe most importantly, 67 years of marriage. Kudos.

	He was a regional guy who never got on cable, or he'd be right up there with Solie. Tremendous talent.

Showing the Backlund/Snuka match a few weeks ago shows how much more impressive it was when Snuka tried it in 1980 in the course of the match for the World Title, instead of as a post match beatdown.
