Thought when i read the headline that Subway were bringing out a new sandwitch endorsed by Lashley or someone

Powerslam is a brutal effort of a magazine. It provides precisely zero insight or opinion, apart from that Manor bloke, who is just being "controversial" for the sake of it.

FSM is marginally better, but only very marginally.

I always swear off the mag nearly everytime I buy it only to buy it the following month. But still Wrestling news dates really fast for me and it's editor *say with my folks* does take a lot from the Observer.

I also think that the turn over of news has less to do with the internet and to do with Wrestling promotions themselves. Ive no desire to read a Great American Bash review a month after it happens. Alot of wrestling is totally disposable nowadays given the proximity of PPVs.

I like powerslam, but in saying that, im also the guy who likes multi people HIAC matches

Its funny because on the way home i picked it up today, weird...

Anyway, i like the little monthly articles it has, like this month it has started a "This month in mcmahon". i also find the baloney.com column amusing, as well as the section for stupid commentary mistakes.

Its also interesting to note that this month it has a total of FOUR interesting articles which have nothing really to do with wrestling today. In saying that, they are pretty dam good ones, "just for laughs: The comedy 'n' wrestling connection" "Total Knockout"(obviously about the TNA ladies), another TNA related article; "The two faces of TNA" and then the cover boy himself, a large one about Batista.

It might all be recycled news and infomation, but honestly, for 4.35, you cant go too wrong :cool:

Powerslam hates Cena so yeah PS > all.

PWI is nearly always out dated when gets on shelfs here but the articles are far better IMO.

Oh I agree, the PWI 500 is a bit of a laugh too. The last issue I bought (the first in a LONG time) had a retrospective on all the Ric Flair covers they have but still it is WAY over-priced.

In fairness when comes their articles that is the typical stuff they write. Up until a few years they covered it as real. They still kind of dance around it a little bit.

This picture famous picture taken from a cover of PWI still rules the school:

Having not read PWI in years,is it still Kayfabe'd to hell?

Well i dint "like" it, i thought it is a nice regular section to have, with the ego trip mcmahon can be on at times.

I especially love some of the comments left by the F4W board
If i may quote possibly the funniest:

"When Punk was telling them to hurry up and start the match,I got the feeling he was thinking 'Quick, before creative change their minds!' "

Hes booked up to the eyeballs for something crazy like the next 12 months and his appearances would be sporadic at best. Good luck to him being that busy, hes ****ing great.

It's cover story on Flair & Foley is very, very juicy in the edition just put up an hour ago.

Is the Observer difficult to get in Ireland? How much is a subscription? Any and all details would be great.

As for PS, I still enjoy it. This month's issue has been mostly pants, but last month's was the best in years. Like someone said, for a fiver its grand.

How many issues do you get a month? (Forgive my laziness and thanks for the link).

There's at least one a week. Sometimes there'll be a double issue (like last week or the week before) and sometimes there's two issues in a week when there's a big story out

At least one a week often he puts out a double issue (if for example UFC & WWE run PPVs the same week.) In addition to that they put up back issues of the Observer from 1991 on once a week. Also the Figure4Weekly Bryan's newsletter comes out once a week.
