We've been mourning the loss of Seattle Semi-Pro wrestling for a few weeks now, and the Wall Street Journal has finally joined us. In their online article, "Fake Wrestlers Pinned Down By State's Department of Licensing," the WSJ focuses on the theater-versus-real-sport debate and features a humorless quote from a McDonald's rep about SSP wrestler Ronald McFondle. WaMu and SSP: month by month Seattle will get our day in the national news media sun. Seattlest has been alerted to an SSP benefit show taking place at Club Motor on April 1st, so supporters should plan on attending what would be a recommendable event even if it weren't for such a good cause.

We hardly knew ye. And now you've been slaughtered by the Washington State Department of Licensing! Life is unfair, especially because your shows were--we're told--really entertaining. Seattlest lifts our coffee mug to you, and in homage we'll post a recent video of an SSP performance. We hope you get another chance.
