    Just wondering which sites people use for their wrestling news!

    Personally, I use www.impactwrestling.com and www.wwe.com!

    Mostly check Rajah

    But 1wrestling.com, PWI & NoDQ are other good ones.

    There was something posted on PWInsider.com a while ago, that I tend to completely agree with. There's 3 main wrestling sites (PWInsider, PWTorch and WrestlingObserver) who get all their info from proper sources, and the people who run the sites are in it full time, that's their livelihoods. Sites like NoDQ, ImpactWrestling and whatever else, they're just lads with computers who copy whatever they read on the reputable sites, doing no work themselves. They always have ridiculous links too. I usually only ever take a look at PWInsider, their info is always right, and I kinda think it's only fair that I support guys who do real work, and not the lads that plaigiarise them

    WWE.com is ridiculous, they switch from work to shoot in every article. Haven't watched it in over a month at this stage, apart from Summerslam, so I haven't really looked at it recently

    Figure Four online which is also run full time (www.f4wonline.com) by Bryan Alvarez is without doubt the best wrestling site on the web and I'll plug it forever. Its at its best when wrestling is at its worst. I'd recommend the premium content highly. 7 radio shows a week (hour long shows with Dave Meltzer, Lance Storm, Vampiro, Konnan, Buddy Rose and Harry Smith. just to name a few), 25000 word newsletter each week, an archive of radio shows going back 6 months and an archive of 200 previous newsletters.

    But just as a free site, it has the news daily, 2 free wrestling radio shows a week ( the Brian and Vinny Tuesday show is so entertaining.) Alvarez as a wrestling radio host is miles a head of anyone I've heard doing it on the web with the exception of Meltzer on wrestling observer live.

    Its informative, has all the news but above all else makes wrestling fun, even the bad stuff. Sometimes I think particuliarly the torch takes it far too seriously in terms of over analysing segments.

    PWtorch and PWinsider in terms of premium content is second rate to Figure Four. I've tried them all and there not even close to what Alvarez offers.

    Personally I don't read anything from PWinsider anymore. There headlines tend to be deliberately misleading and just waste your time.

    yeah, use 411mania too, think they cull most of thier news from the various sites listed above, but some of their columns are interesting.

    Rajah, been using it for the last 6 years and is always reliable and up to date. At one stage I followed Rajah more closeley then I did any of the products that are out there.

    Its handy now that I have the RSS feed on my personalised google homepage, always see if there is ant new news asap.

    Yeah..PWInsider seem to have somethin up with their ads. They had an article explaining exactly why they'd be having those full screen ads that scroll down the page, but now it seems like those ads are redirecting you. If you click stop just as the ad comes up it's fine. I thought someone had just downloaded some ****ty virus here though..
