What are the best wrestling news sites

Firewalkwithme

Hi all, I know you guys were always good when it came to helping me out in the past so you are my first port of call again

I'll be writing / summarising pro wrestling news on an online wrestling game I play and I wanted to know what sites do you consider to be the most reliable, interesting and well respected on the internet.

I already know of quite a few such as Wrestling Observer, PWinsider etc. but I'd like to draw on a good reliable pool of sites to get a nice variety of stories, reports, interviews and so on.

Thanks in advance as always

Wrestling Observer since many dirtsheets copy and paste news from Wrestling Observer.

Garseys

Observer and PW Insider are the way to go.

Those and Dave Meltzer's twitter account.

TMZ gets the odd scoop.

I don't think The Torch has much breaking news these days

Insideandout

PWInsider, Wrestling Observer and Wrestlenewz are the ones I use regularly. I pop onto wrestlingrevealed sometimes too, for a laugh.

The state of Wrestling news in 2014 is something I could write a dissertation on.

I subscribe to Wrestling Observer, PWInsider and PWTorch. Like the three big traditional cornerstones. However the owners/writers and the way they deliver news is kind of dated. I think the young main reporter on those three sites is like approaching 40. Most of them are essentially your Da when it comes to technology and social media. Meltzer an amazing traditional journalist with a real instinct for knowing when a source is working him/giving dodgy info gets regularly duped by fake social media accounts and recently an AJ Lee fake nudes.

Also Meltzer saves news and sometimes loses the scoop as another reporter will report the story instead as he will sit on it Wednesday night when he posts it in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. There's blogs, other news sites and some Twitter accounts that offer 24/7 news.

Your Wrestlezones, WrestlingIncs and your Bleacher Reports are all just news aggregators and free so you get what you pay for.

PW Torch is the only one I have bookmarked, although I do look at Bleacher Report & Lords Of Pain every so often.

Well aware of that one. He did a great job. Was very lucky to get the level of response he did. Smart lad using Wreddit.
