Wrestling Magazines


I was looking through the magazines, at Wal-Mart, and it seems so pathetic that all there was for wrestling mags was WWE and the PWI 500. In the late 80s/early 90s, I used to go to the grocery store and there were tons of wrestling magazines to choose from. I'd stand there and read several and then buy all the ones I didn't read in the store. Pro Wrestling Illustrated, The Wrestler, Sports Review Wrestling, Wrestling Superstars, Inside Wrestling, WWF Magazine, WCW Magazine, Wrestling World, Wrestling All-Stars and several more that I can't remember. Where the hell did they all go? Now, I'm lucky if I even see the lame ass WWE magazine on the rack.

Did the internet kill them off or was it the death of kayfabe that made them less popular?
