They don't care. It's the Cena show, which is why nobody is rushing to get the Network anytime soon. F u c k tradition, right? Ross is too old in their eyes...Cole is still begging for subscribers....Lawler still doesnt know moves....Bradshaw is still bored....Cesaro shouldn't do moves that are over and cheered...Wyatt barely gets mic time since the Cena burial....Ziggler is still a jobber for new mid card champions....bunch Black Rusev jobbers with sissy sounding Xavier Woods in the lead....another Raw with the champion not there next week

So it's no wonder that the magazine is gone. They can't even organize their main money maker. Pitiful is too kind.

:heh: still real to you, dammit?

It's sad to see it go after 31 years, but in reality magazines are on their way out anyways. Between websites, apps, smartphones, iPads, etc. the magazine game is dying out.

WWE probably spent a few million a year to keep it going and although made profit from it, they likely didn't turn over enough profit to make it worth it's while.

Use to have a subscription for like 4-5 years. Kept some of my favorites.

I still remember my a$$hole 5th grade teacher taking away my Tyson/HBK/Austin and Kane mags from Jan 98. This douche "lost" them when my Mom came to ask for them back.

I hated that teacher. :pacspit:

My favs:

Man, I'll miss it. I remember every wrestling mag, and mag featuring a wrestler I had to look at (Like Batista in DUB Mag). My dad has a stack of old PWI mags from the 70s & 80s, shyts piff too.

When my mom and dad would go to the grocery store every Wed, when I was younger, I would immediately go to the magazine section and stay there and read WWF/WWE magazine (or WCW magazine, or whatever mag was there). The magazine section was my home.
