Two wrestling magazines discontinued in 2013
Pro wrestling magazines “The Wrestler” and “Inside Wrestling” have been discontinued as of the most recent issue featuring CM Punk and Paul Heyman on one cover and Jeff Hardy on the other cover. The two magazines were the primary publications known for a long time as “Apter-mags” created by Bill Apter. The magazines became a double-sided issue in 2004. The publication goes back as far 1966. The only remaining pro wrestling magazine still in publication outside of the WWE Magazine is now Pro Wrestling Illustrated. [The Wrestling Observer Newsletter]
