Should Shawn Have Laid Down For Flair? Batista certainly thinks so. He believes that Michaels could have taken the pin and allowed the "Nature Boy" to retire with a victory. Based on the cover story for the August 2008 PWI, not many people agree with Big Dave, including - most importantly - Ric Flair himself.

Also in the August issue, PWI presents its annual State of the Game, taking a close-up look at three three WWE brands, TNA, Ring of Honor, the independents, plus the states of international wrestling, the stars, the business, and the future.

THIS WEEK'S PROWRESTLING.NET PODCAST SPONSOR

***image1***Pro Wrestling Illustrated… you may have grown up reading it as a kid before there was an Internet. You may have browsed it at a book store just last week. You may be an avid reader of it today, anticipating its monthly arrival in your mailbox before it hits newsstands. The magazine is a pro wrestling institution. Pro Wrestling Illustrated is unaffiliated with any pro wrestling promotion, but covers them all.

Some fans today subscribe because of the page after page of glossy color photos from today and yesterday, drawing from the richest photo library in existence. See what the upcoming top indy stars actually look like under the lights in a wrestling ring. See pictures of the next TNA Knockout star or WWE Diva with photos of the Shimmer athletes and other indy women in their developmental stages. Or browse candid out-of-ring shots of today's top national stars that don't make it into their official publications.

Others read PWI for the articles, some of which, yes, play along with ongoing storylines and add new angles and dimensions to the suspension of disbelief, while other articles are historical in nature, such as the recent photo-rich "History of the Royal Rumble" with one page of facts and photos dedicated to each winner, describing how the victory affected their careers. There's the "Business Page" with an overview and analysis of key business figures over the previous month, including stock price fluctuations, TV ratings, PPV buys, and more.

There are special issues such as the PWI 500 with a conversation-stirring ranking of wrestlers from this year's top five - John Cena, Edge, Mistico, Kurt Angle, and Undertaker - to the bottom five of Patrick Brink, Quicksilver, Brian Blade, Vincent Nothing, and Andre Heart. They even tell you a little about each and every one of them. Did you know that Andre Heart's finisher is the "Unsexier"? Now you know.

The PWI Almanac is a desk reference book for any webmaster or wrestling fan interested in a well-organized chronicle and list of rosters, supershows, titles changes, and more.

There is information and entertainment in every edition of Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Now is great time to check it out and support the magazine that supports one of your favorite podcasts, Jason Powell's Pro Wrestling Dot Net Podcast.
