Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Whoa!
Who woulda thunk that the good old Wrestling Observer would be on Unilocal?I’ve been an avid reader for well over a decade and can’t recommend it enough. No Format, No Layout, All Information.
My rating is for the Print Version.

Yes call me a nerd, dork or whatever but I was a really big fan of wrestling for maybe 15 years. I don’t really watch it anymore but hey I always try to sneak a peek every once in a while when I’m channel surfing. Yes the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels are still wrestling, sadly.
I knew wrestling was fake since I was a kid but there was a whole other side to wrestling that I didn’t know until I found the Internet and the Wrestling Observer newsletter. Dave Meltzer’s newsletter is a great read on a weekly basis and I’m super amazed how he can write 12 – 15 a week on wrestling and MMA, especially since there are only roughly the WWE and TNA left around. Yes it’s not well proof read and once in a while you’ll see some grammatical and misspelling errors, but it’s an excellent read if you’re a fan.
There are some great stories in the Observer, especially when people pass on. Meltzer does a great job reviewing their life and life in wrestling. He’s been in the business for damn near thirty years and I’m amazed his still chugging along, even parlaying it into a gig at Yahoo Sports covering MMA.
Downside of the Observer newsletter is the price, costing over $ 100 to get a year’s subscription. One little pet peeve is the size of the font that he uses, which may causes problems if you can’t read small type. Overall, check it out. I’d give it a 4.5, -.5 for the cost of the newsletter…

When I started college, I was introduced to the Observer by a pal of mine who would later go on to write for the WWE. It was the first taste of the business side of wrestling I’d ever seen aside from the old Thursday columns in the National sports newspaper. It was awesome to read the intricate dealings of wrestling and not just about the rock ‘em, sock ‘em stuff.
Dave Meltzer is a great writer, and even though the Observer isn’t well proof-​read because of the time it takes to complete and then produce, he overcomes it with strong stories and being the single best source for this stuff in the world. He has a unique look at both the business and ethical sides of the business and isn’t shy about giving strong opinions.
will take to you ordering info as well as great news.
