Hardcore Wrestling, 1985

Hardcore Wrestling was a 1980s ‘zine written by a bunch of punk rock/hardcore musicians who also happened to be hardcore wrestling fans. I’m not sure how many issues were produced, as I was given the premiere issue as a gift from a friend. This issue contains columns by Dave Hintz, Bob Mould, Richard Sheir, Greg Stout, Bill Stretch; scene reports, card results, wrestling history, explanations of wrestling holds and moves, wrestler profiles, etc.  As someone who grew up as a very big wrestling fan (and later, a big punk/hardcore fan), this zine is about perfect.

I got this folder in the late 90s, and used it a couple times in college and graduate school. It was always a huge hit with my classmates. How can you not love a punk rock kitteh? I like the intense and dignified look on his face despite the ludicrousness of the set and costume.
