Michael_3165 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) I personally find Magnus' articles generally intolerable. The overall tone is 'who the hell are fans to complain' and he talks like he is Steve Austin or Shawn Michaels in terms of talent. The attitude is off putting and really goes against the usually positive spin from the magazine. He needs to remember WE pay his wages and as such can have ANY opinion we damn well like! As for this article in particular. The pizza story was pathetic. It just painted al involved as immature and unable to sort out problems to someone's face. A simple "hey man, did you realise...",would have sufficed surely? Maybe I am on another planet but that's just common sense!

Sphinx Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I got FSM every month from the first issue to about 2010 and have obviously missed out on tons. If I were to subscribe to digital issues, I know I can read previous issues. How far back does this extend to? And do you pay per previous issue you wish to read? Cheers.

Nero Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I know this is a FSM thread and I enjoy the magazine greatly but Im also sad to see the demise of PowerSlam. Both magazines offered different things. Hopefully FSM wont be the next wrestling magazine to fold (after both PowerSlam and WWE's own mag) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It's a great idea for FSM to offer a free download of this month's issue. I hope there'll be a few former readers of PS and the WWE mag who'll give the trial issue a go. I myself haven't read either of the other two magazines for quite some time now but it's a shame to think they're stopping. I don't think wrestling fans like change.
