I was thinking the opposite. There are hundreds of mags still printing. I see PWI gaining sales. My thoughts exactly. PWI isn't going anywhere. Magazines are the only pie they have their fingers in. EVERY WWE release has the insertion "Photo Courtesy of Pro Wrestling Illustrated" throughout pictures used in the production. When I was a kid, people didn't read WWE Magazine or WCW Magazine as much as they read PWI, Inside Wrestling and The Wrestler. I'm not sure when that changed, but I can assure you the journalism in PWI has always been head and shoulders above company corporate magazines.

I hope PWI ends soon. That magazine has been horrible for years. When WOW went out of business, PWI should have shifted more to the direction WOW was in where they would acknowledge the goingson in the business while still covering all the happenings in wrestling. WOW, in a lot of ways, was a weird mashup of a kayfabe mag and a dirt sheet. PWI should have gone in that direction. I was thinking the opposite. There are hundreds of mags still printing.

When the internet became more mainstream and people didn't need their intelligence insulted by magazines that refused to play it straight even a little bit like PWI.

Suspension of disbelief is part of the deal.

I hope they don't cancel FSM. I've gotten into it over the past year or so and really like the presentation much more than PWI...and I used to be a PWI fanatic. But over the past few years, the quality has gotten worse.

Who the hell reads a magazine with boobs in it? who depends on magazines for their porn? Playing with yourself like some sort of a damn pilgrim.
