Current Issue:

Despite now officially being 'over the hill', FSM – the world's only magazine dedicated to professional wrestling and mixed martial arts – carries on rolling towards its 100th issue. And the first step on that road, issue 51, is out now and available from all good news outlets with a cover price of just £3.30… hurrah!


Boasting 84 action-packed, full-colour pages - over 50% more than its closest competitor - FSM is bursting with the biggest names and the best-known experts in the business, not to mention in-depth features that you won't find anywhere on the internet. In terms of quality and sheer quantity of wrestling and MMA coverage, no other publication or internet website even comes close. Pick up this month's issue and you can expect all these features and plenty more besides:





THE BIG PUSH
Why WWE's midcarders need to start promoting themselves
Shawn Michaels and Triple H did it many years ago, so why aren't more WWE midcard stars taking the reins of their careers and pushing themselves, rather than waiting for WWE to put them in the main event? FSM thinks it's about time they did...




BACK IN (PINK AND) BLACK
Is Bret Hart's return really good for business?
He came, he saw, he got his leg crushed by a car... well, sort of. But with WrestleMania looming and Vince eager to get his arse kicked, has Bret Hart's return really done justice to the legacy of the Hitman? We're not so sure that it has...




SOUTHERN COMFORT
FSM speaks exclusively to Jim Cornette!
You may have read a few Jim Cornette interviews elsewhere over the last few months, but they were all the same old stuff we've heard him say before. FSM took a different approach and asked him questions many haven't bothered asking, with interesting results!




THE TRUE WORTH OF GOLD
Why Ring Of Honor is rare in respecting its title belts
While WWE and TNA hand round their title gold like a tin of Quality Street, only Ring Of Honor stands out as a promotion that takes pride in who wears the belts. FSM looks at its title history and asks whether others could learn from its approach.




THE ANATOMY OF A CASUAL WRESTLING FAN
Can anyone be made to enjoy wrestling?
While we may love a bit of in-ring action, the average person isn't a fan of wrestling… but can they be made to be? FSM dons its laboratory coat and carries out the experiment to end all experiments – to turn a 'normal' person into one of us!




STAR COLUMNISTS!
Lance Storm says TNA is right to go back to using the four-sided ring; TNA star Nick Aldis looks at star appeal and why those with it are destined for greatness; Bill Apter thanks Vince McMahon for all the good he's done over the years; new FSM columnist and wrestling veteran Gorilla Typhoon gets angry about Bret and Vince's hypocracy; RD "WrestleCrap" Reynolds laments the loss of the WWE Diva Search; and Alex Shane finally lets us in on the secrets of tag team wrestling...


PLUS MUCH MORE!
FSM lobbies for WWE and TNA to hold a full-on pay-per-view on British shores for the first time since 1992; concludes our two-part interview with TNA president Dixie Carter and learns why Vince Russo is a changed man; reports back from the recent TNA Maximum Impact tour; looks at the death of ECW and what NXT has to offer WWE fans; offers in-depth movie, DVD, book and game reviews and has the latest news from the world of wrestling and MMA. Plus, we've got the exclusive first-reveal of THQ's new UFC game, UFC Undisputed 2010 (which you can see the launch trailer for in our Water Cooler section) and we're offering a PSP Go and copies of TNA Impact!: Cross The Line in our not-that-difficult competition. At just £3.30, you really don't get many of those to the pound. Really!
