Marc Lowrance
From: Fort Worth, TX
Pro Debut: June 1980
Feds Worked For: WCCW, USWA, Wild West Wrestling (TX)
Other Facts: -Prior to his career in wrestling, he was the public address announcer for the Central Hockey League's Fort Worth Texans at the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth, TX
-Was hired by Fritz Von Erich as a ring announcer in 1980 to replace Boyd Pierce, who had left to accept a similar position with Bill Watts' Mid-South promotion.
-Primary play-by-play man and ring announcer for WCCW in the 1980s.
-As commentator on WCCW television shows, Lowrance became known for his smooth announcing style and occasional one-liners aimed at heels intent on dominating the microphone ("Pardon me for speaking while you were interrupting"), and for his signature pinfall count, "Could be...might be...and it is!" As perhaps a foreshadowing of what his future career would be, Lowrance would end each broadcast by urging viewers to "Attend the church of your choice tomorrow."
-Credited with saving the life of referee David Manning when Manning was pushed into the ropes by Gino Hernandez and his head got caught between them.
-Was one of the pallbearers for David Von Erich's funeral
-Worked briefly for USWA until mid-1990 when he elected to leave the company rather than take a cut in pay due to the promotion's financial difficulties. He became a Methodist minister shortly afterward having attended a seminary during the last few years of his announcing stint.
-Briefly returned to wrestling when Kevin Von Erich opened a short-lived unsuccessful attempt to revive WCCW after the USWA left Texas.
-Is now the senior pastor at St. John the Apostle United Methodist Church in Arlington, TX and is an ordained elder in the Central Texas Annual Conference
