    Anyone a fan of this old Magazine? I've got some old back issues, they seem to focus mostly on boxing with wrestling added. Must've been great to see a mag like this on the newsstand on those days. Unfortunately Pro wrestling went to a total spectacle and I can understand why it was dropped. Still a good time capsule.

    Ring Magazine used to have a Pro Wrestling section back in the the '60s.

    Great mag, in a different way than Ring. These can be picked up on eBay.

    I definitely was a fan of this version of Ring and the Boxing and Wrestling Magazines from that era. The addition of Wrestling in the Ring Magazine was really neat in those days.
