The phenomenol popularity of professional wrestling
has made the psuedo-sport a winner among the fans. We will take a
look at this sport from a fan's perspective. We wish to give as
many links as possible to help the casual viewer to the fanatic
help in finding what they want to see in this tremendous sport.
Unlike anyother sport, wrestling has used every media outlet to
bring itself to cult status. The following two companies gave rise
to this phenomenon.
When
it comes to popularity and longevity, The World Wide Wrestling
Federation ranks among the best. The official WWF
website is a great place to find everything associated with the
Federation. No other company has promoted or used it celebritys to
achieve more than the WWF. The WWF can be seen on the USA Network
Monday nights---Monday Night Raw, and is on Pay-Per View nearly
every weekend. The WWF website includes some of the following:
Pay-Per-View Schedules, Television, News, Live Event information,
Publications, Photos of Talent, and Biographies of all the
wrestlers. Titan Sports holds the rights to all WWF properties and
is based out of Stamford, Connecticut.
The arch enemy in both ratings and popularity is the World Class
Wrestling Federation. The WCW
offers the fan tons of information about their wrestlers including
world famous---"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Randy "Macho Man" Savage,
and Sting as well as many others. WCW's website includes
information of time schedules of events on Turner Superstations
such as TNT and TBS, Pay-Per-View Dates, Superstars, News,
Merchandise, and an Internet Insiders Broadcast. WCW is based out
of Atlanta, Georgia.
One of the most well known teams within the WCW is the New
World Order--NWO, and are one of the most popular wrestling
teams of all time. They have their own websites to keep up the
demand of information just to keep up with the interest they
demand.
WCW and WWF websites are both officially endorsed by their
respective organizations. They have the most up to date and
factual information one can get off the internet.
Extreme Championship
Wrestling--ECW is an independent wrestling corporation that
prides itself on no matches that end in disqualification as other
companies do. One word to describe the ECW is VIOLENT. It is based
out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is owned by an actual
wrestler in the company.
News sights run rampant on the web. Most are not officially
endorsed by the above companies, but do however give accurate
information as well as updates of future happenings.

is one place that has news of all wrestling happenings.

Page filled with important wrestling information.
- The Bagpipe
Report is an insider's guide to wrestling news and

- 'Scoops'

For people that wish to have tons of knowledge of what really
has happened over the course of wrestling history, the

Professional Wrestling Online Museum offers an in-depth
look into professional wrestling beginning to
present.
