Would it be possible for some people who still have copies of old Apter magazines to post copies/screenshots of the Rankings pages?  I think it would be fun to look back at the different territories and time periods to see where the wrestlers were ranked monthly.  (Checking out the rankings was my favorite part of seeing those new editions)!

Ratings ending early March 1984, a great time in pro wrestling for fans. Territories were red hot.

The PWI ratings really make that website for me.

Thanks for the thought.  It looks like those are just the PWI Top 500 and it only goes back to 1991.  At least, from what I can tell.

 Just one problem was the above. The other issue was that the ratings were sometimes months old by the time the reader laid eyes on them. Between reporting, printing, and distribution the magazines were oftentimes two to three months behind real time. But, in pre-internet days the magazines was all we had to see what was going on in the different territories.

Great point, old school dude. In the 1970s and 1980s the Apter mags were often 2-3 months behind what was currently happening. For example, the July 1984 PWI hit newsstands and reported that the ratings were current as of March 9, 1984.  

Loved PWI, The Wrestler, Inside Wrestling in the 80s!!

yep, that's true.  I posted just because I thought if someone is obsessed with rankings (like I am) it could be useful info
