My gut feeling tells me that Pro Wrestling Illustrated and Fighting Spirit will cease production in the coming months just like WWE Magazine and Power Slam. Let's face it, the print medium has been slowly dying with the advent of digital media such as tablets and the internet. Your thoughts?

I was thinking the opposite. There are hundreds of mags still printing. I see PWI gaining sales.

Let's face it, the print medium has been slowly dying with the advent of digital media such as tablets and the internet. Your thoughts? WWE Magazine ceasing is because of them moving to third party publishing to cut costs. That doesn't really affect PWI or FSM. Certainly, we are moving more to digital, though it's odd to think that they've been able to stay the course for so long. Either they will keep going or go into more digital content, but I don't foresee them ending anytime soon.

I think you're being a too presumptuous. Just because WWE is cutting costs, that doesn't mean that PWI will continue to be the best wrestling magazine...

I hope not. I still buy PWI but gave up on the WWE mag a couple of years ago.
I was worried because the subscription link on the PWI home page hadn't been working, but now it seems to back in working order.

You should change your name to WWE Poster Diva.
But yeah, I see this raising the amount of work within PWI. I think that it will cover more of WWE now and add more sections and what not.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see WWE Magazine's live on WWE's website like "Jerk of the Month," "Twweet Us," "Body Shop," "Battle For Best WWE Town," and "Backstage/Backstage," among others.

I don't see that happening. They laid off their entire WWE magazine staff - you know, the ones who wrote all that stuff. If anything I see them putting more production time into new content for the Network. Specials, and little programs and whatnot to try to attract more subscribers with exclusive content, not something free to see on the website.

Well, they actually upload articles on WWE's website from time to time and so, why not?

To my knowledge, the people who were writing that stuff has been laid off, so I don't know who would be writing, compiling, formatting, editing, etc. all that content.

If the magazine doesnt have boobs in it, I have no desire to read it.
