Power Slam

Powerslam. Does the name ring a bell? I doubt it. Although it’s a mainstream magazine sold at WH Smiths and most newsagents I doubt, unless you’re a wrestling fan, you’d of even heard of this magazine let alone read any issue. Well let me tell you your missing out, although I might be a bit biased since I am one of the biggest wrestling fans on ciao. Powerslam is a monthly magazine sold in the UK. It covers all aspects of wrestling, and isn’t a WWE magazines, its independent. That means it’s not full of the propaganda the WWE magazines have (e.g. in one WWE magazine they tried convincing the ... more

Power Slam, and it's forerunner, Superstars of Wrestling, have been at the forefront of British wrestling publications for years. Currently upto the 88th issue of it's run, and packed from cover to cover with interviews, articles, news and gossip, this monthly magazine is surely the best on the shelves today, and at just £2.45, doesn't leave too sizeable a dint in your wallet.

Powerslam, currently on issue 105, is in my opinion the premier wrestling magazine in the UK at this moment in time. Powerslam is widely available from a number of local shops but not in any supermarkets that I am aware of however, it if available from most branches of WH Smith.

But, if you venture into WH Smith and feel like an interesting read, dig £2.60 from your pocket and buy the latest issue of Powerslam. When looking for Powerslam it’s not hard to spot. The ... more

Powerslam magazine is, in my opinion, the best wrestling magazine around in the U.K. It holds unbiased views on the past months worth of wrestling. Unlike WWE magazine, it has information on all brands of wrestling, from WWE to TNA,IWW,ROH and Japan. There may be sarcastic comments with each picture, but that just adds another dimension to this fantastic magazine. There are articles that are written about the writers experiences, such as a trip to a Pay Per View. There is a page for readers to write in and ask questions about wrestling. there are 'Signs of the Month' and also dates of the big ... more

Yeah, it may lack a little here and there but the thing I enjoy most about Powerslam is that (a) it's short enough for me to read in WH Smith without actually having to by it & (b) It contains more honesty than any of the WWE publications which are some of the greatest works of fiction I have ever read ! Another plus point is the spanning of many federations which means I don't have to buy lots of mags to keep up to speed with the latest goings on ! Nowadays, with WWE 'owning' the sport, there aren't a great deal of magazines to choose from in the UK so I say make the most of this one, keep ... more
