ya, if I never read the magazine from the 90's early 2000's and i seen the new ones at the newstand, I would have never thought of buying it, but since i have all the older ones, its hard to stop now, even knowing how crappy they have made the magazine,lol When they relaunched it back in 2006, it was alright and then it just steadily went downhill. But, it's hard to stop and it's a bitch and a half to go back and try to get back issues. ya, I thought it woul dhave been better when they merged RAW and Smackdown! to one magazine, which like you said, was at first, but then they started getting to non wrestling related, they should go back and do the "newsbreakers" "personality profile" It is very hard to stop, and Backissues are a bitch, specially because early 90's had alot of Variant covers, some UK issues were a bit different, I am glad that chapter is over for me, I have everysingle issue of WWF/WWE Magazine/Raw/Smackdown! since its debut issue in 1984.. I also have the 5 WWWF Wrestling Action Magazines, that were considered the "first" in house WWF Magazine...I completed it all last year finally..With every variant cover , Including All the 2010 Wrestlemania covers.....I also have the complete WWF Spotlight magazine, Complete WWF Superstars magainze, 80% of the WWF Programs, 70% of WCW magazines, and alot of the random Special issues, Divas mags, PWI, The Wrestler.etc etc

I planned on getting all 26 covers for WrestleMania XXVI, but I couldn't justify spending that much money just for the covers alone. I think WWEShop has a bunch of them for $2.99 now, so I might get some. The only ones I got were CM Punk and John Morrison.

The only ones I got were CM Punk and John Morrison. lol, I said the same thing, was a rip off to pay full price for 26 magazine that were all the same except the cover, thats why I never had them till last year, I was lucky enough to find a guy selling off alot of old merchandise and magazines and when I seen he had all the covers, Brand new in the plastic, and he was asking 20 for all 26, I jumped on it right away, I now have doubles of 6 of them, but for that price i would have been crazy to pass it up...too bad he didnt have any WCW Mags, those are hard to find and i would be in heaven if i can finish those off

Lol, get a few 3inch binders, and put them in there, and on a shelf somewhere, they dont belong in the attic,lol I bought a bunch of those plastic file holders. They hold 12-14 per rack, so I have them broke them down by year to keep them organized. So they are in the racks, in a box lol. I wish I had the space for them. I just need a bigger place, hoping to have one in a couple of years. But if a tornado comes through, I'm absolutely screwed. *Knock on wood*

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 If you want to actually read a real wrestling magazine, I'd recommend Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

I have all of them from winter 1985 all the way to the attitude era so maybe around 2000 I got them in the mail. I have tons of PWI, Wrestler, etc from the mid- 80s till 2000. This was the first wrestling magazine I ever bought. It amazed me to see that my favorites from the WWF actually wrestled elsewhere like NWA and whatnot. And the first WWF magazine I bought had Jessie Ventura on the cover. I can't seem to find a pic online with it. lol this is my all time favorite cover:
