Jerry Lawler announced on Twitter that wrestling announcer Lance Russell passed away at the age of 91. Russell was known for many years as "the voice of Memphis Wrestling."

Russell's daughter passed away several days ago and then Russell himself fell down and broke his hip. Russell had posted this photo of himself with Jerry Lawler just last month:

No matter how absurd the angle, Lance could always add that tiny sliver of credibility that made all the difference. pic.twitter.com/zNHkiUqzCN
