AS I SEE IT – Saying Goodbye to Some Wrestling History

A little bit of wrestling history died this past week. Inside Wrestling and The Wrestler will cease publication after this month’s issue.
For most of us, they were the first place we ever got “news” about wrestling. Mind you, this was “news” handed to them by the promotions they were writing about. Most of the time, the news was fictionalized accounts loosely based on wrestling storylines ala soap opera magazines. But generations of parents saw their children begging them for one of these wrestling magazines every time they went to the supermarket, the drug store, or the newstand. Children would stare at the pictures for hours and hours, while reading the “stories”.
