Frequently Asked Questions

What is Inside Wrestling magazine?

Inside Wrestling was a professional wrestling magazine published by London Publishing that provided tabloid-style insider coverage of the sport throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and into the 1990s. It reported on the territorial wrestling wars, backstage politics, and the kayfabe storylines of the era with the urgency of a publication whose readers believed every word — which is exactly what made it such a compelling read and such a valuable historical document.

Why is Inside Wrestling historically significant?

For wrestling historians, Inside Wrestling is an invaluable primary source — it documented the territorial era in real time, covering promotions and feuds that are now barely remembered outside dedicated fan communities. It also provides a unique window into how wrestling was marketed and consumed before the internet made kayfabe impossible to maintain. Reading these issues is like stepping back into a world where kayfabe was absolute.

What eras of wrestling are covered?

Coverage spans primarily the 1970s territorial era through the WWF's national expansion and the early 1990s — including NWA, AWA, WWF, and various regional promotions with a focus on the big stars and feuds of each period.
