I used to, back is like 04/05 through probably '10. I stopped subscribing because the magazine was getting too skimpy, both in page count and in content quantity/quality and half of the pages were product placement. I started subscribing to SmackDown! magazine. My favorite issue is probably one of the "year in photos" or backstage issue because I like to see those kinds of pictures.

I agree, The magazine starting being more like those "stuff" magazines not sure how to explain it, more advertising than anything...I enjoyed it more when it was all about wwe, and had the occasional wwe star with movie or pop star, would be nice to read a real story on the shield vs wyatt family, or Why CM Punk left...now i just find myself skipping through, looking at a few pics, doing the trivia, and setting it aside...its sad, specially with such a long history |

No the real WWE/WWF magazine dies years ago. It had a charm to it because it was really an extension of the world of the WWE and had the cheesy but cute 'insider' and secret informant articles and other quirky little pieces. Sure it seemed hokey but it was part of the fun of enjoying the kayfabe....Now it's become 'Maxim lite'. It's geared way more to the hipster crowd and I really can't stand reading it.

Nope. Raw magazine in the late nineties was the best wrestling magazine ever. The WWF/WWE magazine always seemed pretty hokey after I was about twelve.
When they relaunched it in 2006 with the Maxim-style makeover, I kinda liked it. It had tons of stuff that I had no interest in, but it also had interviews and road stories and articles that were better than anything the magazine had previously had.

I used to collect WWE magazines back in '02, stopped around '05. Now I buy magazines from time to time.

At one point from 2005-2012 I prob had over 100, but they are just boring now, it's not like key give you real news or anything. Some of the pics are cool, but not worth 7$ a month IMO, I'd rather skip 2 months & buy an elite

I have a few dozen WWF Magazines from the 80's. They came in a lot of magazines I bought off a guy late last year. I now have 200+ old 80's PWI, The Wrestler, Wrestling Sports Review and other old publications.
I don't think I'm going to pursue collecting many more, since storing them takes up a lot of space and I like to display what I collect. You can't really do that with that amount of them. The only one I have displayed is the Sports Illustrated with Hulk Hogan on the cover back in the 80's. It's a cool issue.

I've got all WWF/WWE Magazines from 1996-current day and am missing a good chunk of Raw Magazines from 1997-2001 (which I'm alright with). I'm in the process of tracking down the special edition magazines from the 90s as well.
I usually look at the current WWE Magazine once or twice and bag & board them and put them away.

That is true, its hard to display a big amount, I just put the ones I have in a binder on a shelf, its not displaying them individually, but they look nicer in the binder, i also enjoyed the Pwi, Wrestler, wrestling USA, Wrestling 88,89,90,90....... I would have enjoyed them more if they had more color pages, and some of the magazines were easy to fall apart if not handled with care, but they were a good source for info on other promotions besides the WWF, where i am from, all we got was WWF for the longest time, then slowly got WCW, so it was nice to read about Japan, and UWF, AWA ,USWA, and so on Thats sports illustrated Was something special, Was always such a big deal,lol, nice that you have it desplayed |

Magazine from 1995 and The Uncooked Best of Monday Night Raw from 1996. I'm pretty sure that those are the only ones I'm missing. |

But, it's hard to stop and it's a bitch and a half to go back and try to get back issues. |
