A week before Lance Russell passed I commented on one of his Twitter posts that he was the greatest wrestling commentator of all time and he actually replied back and thanked me. It might not be a big deal to some people but that was pretty cool to me.
Lance Russell is a legendary on the wrestling business he right up there with JR, the King, Tony, Jessie the body, Bobby the brain etc you get the point. He should be in somebody HOF
You gotta gives Lance and The King credit, they could have easily buried Dave and Corey (like WWE likes to do) but like men they put them over instead. Power pro wrestling was ok, but it was no USWA.
Well it's just smart it doesn't make you look petty, not appreciative, or bitter. And lets be honest alot of people comeback so burying them doesn't help. It was like when Hogan came back in 2002 WWE had been saying he was too old 7 years ago, but we were meant to all forget that as he was a wwe guy again..
USWA Action at the Coliseum in Evansville, IN...Belltime is 7 PM...See the Moondogs in action! Yes Moondog Spot and Moondog Rex in action as they face Brian Christopher and the Southern Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett.
Saw this on Montgomery County Public Access's Inside the Squared Circle Pro Wrestling Talk show, started with 3 crazy guys giving wrestling news for a half hour, then originally it was Smokey Mountain Wrestling, after it folded, they picked up USWA Memphis after the talk. The show is still on but without the wrestling.
Agreed. It looked like from reading the post that Burton was the victim, not XL Sports. Just wanted to make it clear on who killed the promotion, and that Burton was NOT a victim.
Jerry lawler was better with the goattea that's the way I remember him growing up and he had it because of Sam Bass his manager but he did have it back for man on the moon e

Lying
Lance Russell is in the same category as Gordan Solie in announcing. A true Hall of Famer
Lance was the best...
Lance is in a category above anyone.
Love lance Russell class act in wrestling, he and Dave were perfect together.
Dave Brown was a meteorologist as well.
RIP Lance Russell
Lance and Dave greatest duo of all time
This was the end of an era.
I remember watching this live and what a punch in the gut when I heard the news
My Saturday mornings were filled with the voices of Lance and Dave.
In my opinion, they're up there with Gordon Sole.
Thank you for posting this video.

@@sprayarm Thank you for the info and the link. Much appreciated.
And now our first match is Ric Hogan........WOMP WOMP WOMP!
ttwarrior1 - Yup i hear u. Uswa was the first wrestling brand i saw live in Evansville years ago
@Thomas Same here. I loved going to the matches at the Evansville Coliseum. I started going with my grandfather at the age of 7, in 1977
How on earth did Lawler do BOTH his show and RAW? He's a workaholic
iwanttoseemrshow wasn’t that hard. He was a part timer by 1997, and didn’t work Saturdays for wwe. He generally only worked raw
This is before he was on Raw this is before he was any part of WWE
@@danielhackman2438 Lawler started with WWE in 1993. This is 1997

Dave brown still worked at the tv station
"Lance and Jerry were
the Gorilla Monsoon
& Bobby"the Brain" Heenan
of the USWA."-🤗🤔🖥🌐🇺🇲🌐..
Jeff Jarrett was in USWA and WCW at the same time?
I think Double J was Jesse James.
Lance Russell > Jim Ross
100% right
Rip lance russell
The 2 Best Lance Russell and Gordon Solie.
Ya,I dont care what you say..I think Lance is as good as or better then Gordon
I know this is old and I should know by now but did they leave the USWA
USWA Action at the Coliseum in Evansville, IN...Belltime is 7 PM...See the Moondogs in action! Yes Moondog Spot and Moondog Rex in action as they face Brian Christopher and the Southern Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett.
adamnbryant I saw many a matches at the Coliseum in Evansville.

Thats not exactly true. Burton was involved, but XL Sports is who bought it.
this is around when they stopped going to evansville, which sucked
Wednesday night
Jerry lawler was better with the goattea that's the way I remember him growing up and he had it because of Sam Bass his manager but he did have it back for man on the moon e
why would dave and cory leave just to return a yer later with memphis power pro wrestling
Because Randy Hales owned Power Pro.
Dave had a Saturday off when his daughter got married
Lance got Corey shit canned
Son of a gun
R.I.P. Lance Russell
