Wrestling's Main Event magazine was part of the same family of professional wrestling magazines as Pro Wrestling Illustrated (known as "Apter Mags"). Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) is still in publication as of today. PWI (seemingly) did not begin printing clear-cut copyright notices until the year 2000, when it began attributing its copyright to "London Publishing Co." Likewise, publications in the same family of magazines also failed to correctly assign copyright. Wrestling's Main Event does not correctly assert copyright anywhere within its pages, failing 2 of 3 requirements listed on w:Copyright notice#Form of notice for visually perceptible copies.
