In my rotation of retro pro wrestling podcasts on the DragonKingKarl Wrestling Show, I am adding old magazine reviews. 

The newsstand pro wrestling magazines were a staple of wrestling from the 1950s through the 1990s and especially peaked in the 1970-80s. Before the Internet and before newsletters were so widely distributed, the wrestling magazines are where you got your news and information about wrestlers outside your regional area. 

To kick things off, let’s take a look at Pro Wrestling Illustrated from January 1983 featuring Ricky Steamboat, Bruiser Brody, Tommy Rich, and more.
