Did anyone else have these?  The first one I got was the 1993 edition (bottom left in the photo) - I loved it and would take it into school with me every day, much to the annoyance of my teacher. I only had the 1993/4 editions as a kid; I picked up the others on eBay about a year ago. |

I had (and still have) two of them. The bottom left, and the top right. I loved them.
I remember knowing about Owen's Rocket/New Foundation look back then (hadn't seen Royal Rumble 92, only Wrestlemania at that point), and being so shocked that there was a picture of Neidhart wrestling Ric Flair in matching attire lol

I never knew WWE published "year in review" magazines back then. The ones I remember most vividly that we had a bunch of were those Spotlight books. Okay, maybe they weren't books, but they were much bigger than a magazine and focused on just one wrestler. The pictures in those were always great and I'm pretty sure I read the Bret Hart one a hundred times as a kid.

I never had those but did have a early 1992, may have even been late 1991 book similar to the top upper right with Hogan. The cover IIRC had Hogan in a large pic and to the side was Bushwhackers, Warrior (1980s pic) and someone else. It had a bio on almost all wrestlers at the time. I think only ones missing were Barbarian, Haku, Orient Express and I think Colonel Mustafa which was strange because Colonel Adnan had a bio. I'm guessing it was pretty similar to the books above.
I also loved the superstars bio magazines. I think they came out as early as 1986. I think it was the 1995 at the last. I had 1993, 1994 and 1995. I especially liked them because they had guys pictured who hadn't even been on TV (Quebeccers in 1993, Goldust in 1995 I remember). The 1994 version was a bit different as it was done in the style of the "Scoop Sullivan" character doing the bios which I didn't really care for but they were trying to appeal to the child market. I remember everyone but Bob Holly and the Smoking Gunns had a page in that magazine.

I had the 1991 edition. I remember getting it for $2 at discount book store in Massachusetts in 1994.

The pictures in those were always great and I'm pretty sure I read the Bret Hart one a hundred times as a kid. these annuals are just like the WWF Superstars special mags with profiles of all the wrestlers plus a few extra things like a crosswrod puzzle and small year in review section and what not. VERY Cool pics. |

I do have a WWF Year in Pictures 1994 magazine though. But in all my years of searching eBay I have yet to see those WWF Annuals magazines!
