Flashback Friday: Wrestling Ratings from Yesteryear

By J.W. Braun on 4 February 2022

Normally I do a Friday blog post where I recap old wrestling magazines. This week, I have to change things up because I’m finishing up a book. So here is some temporary filler: wrestling ratings from the past!

We begin with Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s ratings from April 4, 1985.

Next, PWI’s ratings from June 3, 1987.

Next, PWI’s ratings from September 18, 1989.

Next, PWI’s ratings from June 5, 1996.

And here’s The Wrestler’s ratings from June 10, 1997.

And finally, Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s ratings from April 7, 1998.
