'''''Pro Wrestling Illustrated''''' ('''''PWI''''') is an American [[professional wrestling]] [[magazine]] that was founded in 1979 by publisher [[Stanley Weston]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pwi-online.com/about/|title=About Us|work=Pro Wrestling Illustrated|access-date=June 23, 2022|archive-date=August 7, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220807010322/https://pwi-online.com/about/|url-status=live}}</ref><!--THE AWARDS WERE ORIGINALLY PRINTED IN OTHER MAGAZINES BEFORE PWI WAS CREATED (IF THAT'S WHERE YOU GOT "1972" FROM)--> ''PWI'' is headquartered in [[Blue Bell, Pennsylvania]], and published by [[Kappa Publishing Group]]. The magazine is the longest published English language wrestling magazine still in production. ''PWI'' publishes bi-monthly issues and annual special issues such as their "Almanac and Book of Facts". The magazine recognizes various world championships as legitimate, similar to ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'' in boxing.

''PWI'' is often referred to as an "Apter Mag", named after its long-time photographer [[Bill Apter]], a term used for wrestling magazines that keep [[kayfabe]]. In recent years,{{As of?|date=November 2023}} the ''PWI'' has moved away from reporting on storylines as actual news and mixed in editorial comments on the behind-the-scenes workings of wrestling.

Since 1991, ''PWI'' has been publishing its annual "Top 500 Wrestlers" listing the top male wrestlers in the world. In 2008, they added an annual "Top 50 Female Wrestlers" list, which was later expanded and renamed to the "Top 100 Female Wrestlers" list in 2018 and then again in 2021 as the "Top 150 Female Wrestlers." In 2020, they added an annual "Top 50 Tag Teams" listing the top tag teams in the world.

==History==
The first issue of ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated'' (''PWI'') was released in 1979. The magazine soon became known for not breaking [[kayfabe]] in its articles as it traditionally treated all "[[Angle (professional wrestling)|angles]]", or storylines, as real. However, in more recent years the magazine has taken an editorial approach between kayfabe and "[[Shoot (professional wrestling)|shoot]]" writing, differentiating between on-screen feuds and controversies behind the scenes. ''PWI'' is not limited to covering only prominent [[professional wrestling promotion]]s, as it also covers multiple [[Independent circuit|independent promotions]] in the [[United States]]. ''PWI'' also published other special issues, which included: ''PWI Wrestling Almanac & Book of Facts'' since 1996, ''Women of Wrestling'', and a weekly newsletter entitled ''PWI Weekly'' from 1989 to 2000. 

===Yearly awards===
{{Main|List of Pro Wrestling Illustrated awards}}
''PWI'' has given out annual awards and recognitions since its inception. These awards had previously been given out by another ''Victory Sports Magazine'' property, ''Sports Review Wrestling''. ''PWI'' has also given out monthly rankings for big promotions, some select independent promotions, and overall rankings in singles and tag teams divisions. Additionally, readers are given the ability to vote for the winners of the year-end awards with ballots being included in special year-end issues. A special ''PWI Awards Magazine'' is issued annually, which reveals winners and the number of votes counted. The following is a list of categories in which ''PWI'' has issued awards.

==World championship status==
===Historical recognition===
Although many wrestling organizations promote their lead title as a [[World Heavyweight Championship (professional wrestling)|world heavyweight championship]], ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated'' (''PWI'') has only recognized a few championships as valid world titles at any one time. ''PWI'' has also generally recognized the main tag team title from any promotion with a recognized world heavyweight championship as being a [[world tag team championship]] (unless named otherwise by the promotion) and certain other select titles from those promotions as world championships.

In 1983, ''PWI'' withdrew world title recognition from the [[WWE Championship|WWF World Heavyweight Championship]], citing how champion [[Bob Backlund]] was not facing contenders from outside the [[WWE|World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) territory and was only facing [[Heel (professional wrestling)|rulebreakers]].<ref name=83YIR>Item: "Those Samoans Are Tough – Especially The Fourteenth Time!" 1983 Year In Review. Pro Wrestling Illustrated March 1984</ref> This coincided with the WWF's withdrawal from the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA) in summer 1983. ''PWI'' reinstated the WWF's world title recognition retroactively in 1985<ref name="wwf85">{{Cite web|url=http://www.pwi-online.com/pages/wrestlingyears.html|title="1985 ... July 2: Pro Wrestling Illustrated reinstates world title recognition for the WWF heavyweight title after more than two years of viewing it as a regional championship." Wrestling History, Pro Wrestling Illustrated Online, retrieved March 14, 2018|access-date=March 14, 2018|archive-date=September 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924083400/http://www.pwi-online.com/pages/wrestlingyears.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> on account of the WWF's massive mainstream media profile.

The [[AWA World Heavyweight Championship]] was stripped of its world title status in January 1991 when the [[American Wrestling Association]] (AWA) was in its final days.<ref>Pro Wrestling Illustrated strips the AWA of World Title Recognition – Pro Wrestling Illustrated May 1991</ref> By this time, the championship was vacant and would remain so until the promotion's closure.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wrestling-titles.com/awa/awa-h.html|title=AWA World Heavyweight Title|access-date=March 16, 2018|archive-date=February 22, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110222123139/http://www.wrestling-titles.com/awa/awa-h.html|url-status=live}}</ref> 

Until March 1991, ''PWI'' and its sister publications steadfastly referred to [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW) as "the NWA" despite WCW having increasingly phased out the latter name in the preceding months. In spring 1991, the family of magazines adopted a new policy of referring to the current promotion and its champions as WCW and the promotion's pre-1991 past as the NWA. The magazine also announced it would refer to the overall history of the promotion's [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship|world title]] as the "NWA/WCW World Championship" (and likewise with other WCW championships).<ref name="w91">Editorial, Wrestling '91, Spring 1991 edition</ref> ''PWI'' generally traced the lineage of the NWA/WCW World Championship back to [[George Hackenschmidt]]'s [[World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship (original version)|title victory in 1905]], rather than the creation of the [[NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship]] in 1948.<ref>"The NWA was formed in 1948 but the NWA World Heavyweight Championship is traditionally traced back to the World Heavyweight Championship that was created in 1905." = WWF vs NWA: Who's Better? Pro Wrestling Illustrated January 1991</ref> Subsequently, after [[Ric Flair]] left WCW and was stripped of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in July 1991, ''PWI'' and its sister publications nonetheless continued to recognize the WCW title as held by [[Lex Luger]], [[Sting (wrestler)|Sting]], [[Vader (wrestler)|Vader]], and [[Ron Simmons]] as the rightful continuation of the historic NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. When [[Masa Chono]] won an NWA world title tournament in Japan in August 1992, ''PWI'' and its sister publications only recognized Chono's title as the "NWA Championship" and rejected it as a world title or as a continuation of the historic NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship.<ref>"The NWA World champion became the WCW World champion when the federation changed initials ... The initials may have changed, but Ron Simmons wears the same belt (figuratively, at least) in 1992 that Lou Thesz wore in 1952. Given that, Chono cannot be considered the NWA World champion in the historical sense ... We'll call him NWA champion because that is the title he won. But this article will be the last time we'll call him NWA ''World'' champion"<br /> – "Who Needs The Confusion? Why Reviving The NWA Title Was A Bad Idea." ''Inside Wrestling'' December 1992 edition, pages 38–41</ref><!--N.B. THE QUOTE IN THE REFERENCE REPRESENTS THE OFFICIAL POSITION AT THE TIME OF PRO WRESTLING ILLUSTRATED AND ITS SISTER PUBLICATIONS.  WHETHER THEY WERE RIGHT OR WRONG TO TAKE THIS POSITION IS A SEPARATE DEBATE AND NOT RELEVANT TO THIS ARTICLE!-->

''PWI'' initially did not recognize the [[ECW World Heavyweight Championship]] as a world title but granted the championship and the [[Extreme Championship Wrestling|promotion]] world title status in 1999.

==Rankings==
===''PWI 500''===
''PWI'' has published the list of the top 500 professional wrestlers each year since 1991 in an annual special edition magazine, the ''PWI 500''. ''PWI'' writers choose the position of the wrestler following a designated evaluation period starting from mid-June; anything a wrestler accomplished before or after that period is not considered. They follow a criterion that includes win–loss record, championships won, quality of competition, major feuds, prominence within a wrestler's promotion(s), and overall wrestling ability.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://prowrestlingillustrated.blogspot.com/2011/08/pwi-500-1-100.html|title=PWI 500: 1–100|date=August 9, 2011|access-date=August 9, 2011|work=Pro Wrestling Illustrated|archive-date=August 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170810052238/http://prowrestlingillustrated.blogspot.com/2011/08/pwi-500-1-100.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.diva-dirt.com/152283/pwi-responds-womens-100-reactions/|title=PWI Senior Writer responds to 'Women’s 100' reactions – Diva Dirt<!-- Bot generated title -->|date=November 7, 2018 |access-date=November 12, 2018|archive-date=November 13, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181113025603/http://www.diva-dirt.com/152283/pwi-responds-womens-100-reactions/|url-status=live}}</ref> {{Asof|2023}}, [[L.

===''PWI Women's 250''===
''PWI'' has published a list of the top female professional wrestlers each year since 2008 in a special edition magazine. As with the list of male professional wrestlers, ''PWI'' writers choose the wrestler's position following a designated evaluation period starting from mid-June; anything a wrestler accomplished before or after that period is not considered. The list was originally limited to 50 wrestlers and was referred to as the ''Female 50''. It has since been expanded and renamed to ''Women's 100'' in 2018 and ''Women's 150'' in 2021. It was expanded and renamed to ''Women's 250'' in 2023.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://411mania.com/wrestling/various-news-pwi-female-50-expanding-100-mikey-whipwreck-partners-indy-promotion/|title=Various News: PWI Female 50 Expanding to 100, Mikey Whipwreck Partners With Indy Promotion|date=August 9, 2018|access-date=August 9, 2018|work=411 Mania|archive-date=August 13, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180813175555/https://411mania.com/wrestling/various-news-pwi-female-50-expanding-100-mikey-whipwreck-partners-indy-promotion/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://belltobelles.com/pwi-womens-100-will-increase-to-pwi-womens-150-in-2021|title=PWI Women's 100 will increase to PWI Women's 150 in 2021|date=September 13, 2021|access-date=September 21, 2021|archive-date=September 21, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210921024612/https://belltobelles.com/pwi-womens-100-will-increase-to-pwi-womens-150-in-2021/|url-status=live}}</ref>
