Thomas Russell Haas (March 27, 1974 – December 15, 2001), better known as Russ Haas was a professional wrestler. He is best known for his work alongside his brother, Charlie, in Ohio Valley Wrestling. A former collegiate wrestler at Seton Hall University, Haas died of a heart attack in his sleep at the age of 27. He had a heart ailment that prohibited him from wrestling, and was given clearance to resume training for wrestling shortly before his death. Since that time, Charlie writes "RUSS" on his wrist tape before every match to pay tribute to his brother.
