But it was a surprise that it wracked up so much debt to the likes of SSX.

One Life Left is back! We probably should have pointed that out. Here's a letter from Ste Curran, one of the three excellent people who staff the show, to explain why and what will be happening in future:

When you think of wrestling, the chances are that you think of WWE - the camp, melodramatic and oh-so-macho "sports entertainment" circus which used to be called WWF before some pandas got upset or something.
