LSM Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Here's a couple of my favorites although I'm biased with these as I was able to get them signed: Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Pepper Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014  I remember having to tactically buy Raw magazine from my newsagent because there was an old bloke in there who wouldn't sell it to me a few times because he thought it was porn or something.  I thought it had all just evolved into the kid's magazine now and the regular mag was gone? I'm sure it's been discussed here 100's of times before but I remember in the late 80's/early 90's all the newsagents round my way, including WHSmiths stocked WWF Magazine in the porn section. At times the gay part of the porn section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted August 2, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2014 Ian posting that piece from WWF magazine about the steroid trial and the fed's legal issues was interesting (must have been 1993 as it was in one of the first issues I ever got). As a 9 year old I'm not sure how much of it I understood, but it was still pretty shocking for the time. RAW magazine was revolutionary for its time though. One of the early issues was after Owen gave Shawn an enziguri during a match and they tried to portray HBK collapsing as a shoot. It was the closest thing to a shoot magzine I'd ever seen until WOW magazine came out in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 My Gran bought me my first ever issue. Don't know how to post pics but its from 1992 and had the British Bulldog on the cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 All those 1991-92 ones straight away make me think "yeah, I remember that." Â I don't know why anyone would ever have mistaken a Raw mag for a porno though. Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bono Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I was 12-13 when those raw mags started to come out. Lets just say they were used for more then reading purposes :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted August 2, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2014 Well, since it was the first one that I can remember buying, it'd be this one for me. Also, to me, it's pretty iconic with Tyson and everything: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I used to make pogs out of WWF magazines with this: Â Â bono probably did the same. The WWF pogs were nearly impossible to find by me. One papershop did them, and I bought the last two packets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 2, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2014 I had that. I used to make WWF pogs using just the heads of the wrestlers and line them up like Survivor Series teams. Like these but in pog form. Â WWF magazine advertised so much shit that you just couldn't find in stores (at least not in a shithole like Sunderland). Like the pogs or the WWF trading cards they'd still be releasing in the mid-90s, just not over here. Post-94, the fact the business was on its arse was really noticable. No sticker books, no cards in the newsagents, no Hasbros anymore. Fuck all in Argos or Woolies with WWF on it. Our newsagent even stopped selling WWF magazine. If it wasnt for Austin 3:16 and the nWo, wrestling was going the way of the Turtles and Toxic Crusaders in our house. Might have been marked down as another fad. Like wrestling would be used in the same sentence as "Ian used to have a rubber Garfield and a Hulk Hogan bed buddy when he was little", as opposed to "he's still into that gay wrestling on the wrong side of 20", like I get now. Wrestling 1995 was just so unappealing to everyone who wasn't a bit sad it seems. Nobody I know was into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 It really was so uncool in 1995. I remember talking to people at school about King of the Ring in 1994, but a year later, I was going to the shop two hours before school and hiding the magazine in the bottom of my bag so no other kids saw me buy it, or making up a little cousin I was buying it for if I did get caught. It would've been much cooler pretending to buy it just to wank over Sunny instead of admitting you couldn't wait to get home to read the Barry Horowitz superstar profile.
