Welcome to Pro Wrestling Stories, your daily source of wrestling history and nostalgia since 2015!
Join us as we transport you in time and peel back the curtain of wrestling’s rich past via tales of its celebrated, bizarre, and dark moments. As you’ll learn, what happened outside of the ring was sometimes more fascinating than what was happening within it!
About Pro Wrestling Stories
What started as a popular series called “Wrestling Stories” in Squared Circle on Reddit in early 2014 grew into what you see today.
As a website, our forever endeavor is to deliver stories about professional wrestling with care, dignity, and respect to the business and its performers. Our writers focus on sharing accounts entirely, factually, without bias or sensationalism, and using only trusted primary sources such as interviews of our own or reputable sources such as autobiographies and shoot interviews.
With over two million readers a month and a steadily growing social media presence, we have become a trusted authority for pro wrestling history since 2015.
Our work has earned recognition from the industry’s most respected voices. Sports Illustrated celebrates us as “a great website full of behind-the-scenes anecdotes and a good way to lose 30 minutes of your life!” Acclaimed wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer says, “Love your stuff. Real wrestling history.” Most recently, Pro Wrestling Illustrated awarded us their highest honor – 5 out of 5 suplexes – praising our site as “consistently sensitive in its reporting and storytelling, with its writers and editors mindful of their obligations as authors and archivists. Even the most somber fare is never sensationalized.”
Enjoy your stay, and if you have any story requests or want to get in touch for an interview, do not hesitate to contact us!
