Less than two weeks after Buzz Stone committed suicide, it appears as if there is more bad news for Ricochet Pro Wrestling. Both the Wrestling Network in the United Kingdom and the Fight Network in Canada have opted not to renew Crossfire for the upcoming season. While neither network would comment on it publicly, it is believed that Buzz Stone's death was the deciding factor in the decision not to renew the current contract with Ricochet. The current contract officially ended at the end of August, however, Ricochet secured a one month extension several weeks ago to continue broadcasting. This will make the final episode of Crossfire on both networks for Wednesday, September 23rd. With Ricochet being forced off of their two primary networks, and now only being seen in limited installments in the United States and Mexico, this is yet another blow to Ricochet's already hurting economy as they will no longer receive any revenue from advertisements. Melanie Cohen, who handled the original broadcast deal, is currently shopping Crossfire around to other networks, but many are concerned that with Buzz Stone gone, Ricochet is a doomed product and many networks will not be willing to take the chance on it.
