Help With Book Research


Hey all,

I am thinking about writing up a book about the history of World Wrestling Entertainment, going from circa 1963 when the WWWF broke away from the NWA unto, circa 2013.

I know that WWE itself has already written such a history, but I also know that this telling of history comes from an entity with a strong interest in advancing a specific narrative about itself.

My hope is to write a history that is as independent of WWE as possible. I know it won't be 100 % independent, because if it gets published I have to get permission from the E to use certain trademarked names.

Anyway, what I am asking here is if people here know of any good longstanding pro-wrestling news publications that I could use, so as to have sources that once again are largely if not totally independent of the WWE.

My initial ideas tend towards PWI and the Wrestling Observer, but I am open to all suggestions. Double points if their archives are accessible online so as to reduce my travel costs.
