The Pro Wrestling Illustrated Almanac has been a staple of the professional wrestling industry for over 40 years. Its pages have chronicled the careers of some of the biggest stars in the business, and it has served as a valuable resource for fans and historians alike. However, with the recent announcement that the Almanac will be discontinued after its 2023 edition, an era is coming to an end.

The Almanac was first published in 1979, and it quickly became a must-have for wrestling fans. The book featured in-depth profiles of the top wrestlers in the world, as well as complete results from every major wrestling event. The Almanac also included a wealth of statistical information, such as win-loss records and title histories.

The Almanac was a labor of love for its editor, Bill Apter. Apter was a lifelong wrestling fan, and he poured his heart and soul into the book. He traveled the world to interview wrestlers and collect information, and he always made sure that the Almanac was as accurate and complete as possible.

The Almanac was more than just a book; it was an institution. It was a place where fans could go to learn about the history of wrestling and its biggest stars. It was also a place where wrestlers could go to see themselves immortalized in print.

The discontinuation of the Almanac is a major loss for the wrestling industry. It is the end of an era, and it will be sorely missed by fans and historians alike.

However, the legacy of the Almanac will live on. The book has been a major influence on wrestling journalism and history, and it has helped to shape the way that we view the sport. The Almanac may be gone, but its impact will be felt for years to come.

The End Of An Era

The decision to discontinue the Almanac was a difficult one, but it was ultimately made for financial reasons. The cost of producing the book had become too high, and the publisher could no longer justify continuing to print it.

The discontinuation of the Almanac is a sign of the changing times. The wrestling industry is no longer as popular as it once was, and fans are increasingly getting their information from online sources.

However, the Almanac will always be remembered as a valuable resource for wrestling fans. It is a treasure trove of information, and it is a testament to the passion of Bill Apter and the many other people who worked on it.

A Fond Farewell

The Almanac will be discontinued after its 2023 edition, but it will never be forgotten. The book has been a part of the wrestling industry for over 40 years, and it has played a major role in shaping the way that we view the sport.

Thank you, Bill Apter, for creating such a wonderful book. The Almanac will be missed, but its legacy will live on.

Apter was a lifelong wrestling fan, and he dedicated his life to chronicling the history of the sport. He was a pioneer in wrestling journalism, and his work helped to shape the way that we view the industry.

The Almanac was Apter's greatest achievement. He poured his heart and soul into the book, and he always made sure that it was as accurate and complete as possible.
