thank you www.pwtorch.com for this snippet, that i can pass along to the old-school fans.
Billy Red Lyons, the former WWF and Maple Leaf Wrestling announcer in Canada, died at the age of 77 yesterday.
Lyons wrestled for nearly 30 years in Canada, Texas, and Oklahoma before retiring to become an announcer and pitch man for WWE live events in the late 1980s.
He was known for his signature catch phrase, "don’tcha dare miss it" to promote live events.
