Western Wrestling Chronicles

A Multi-Voice Retrospective of the Territories

Overview

Western Wrestling Chronicles is a quarterly publication dedicated to preserving and reimagining the media legacy of the Great Western Wrestling Alliance (GWA). Each issue explores the promotion’s history through four distinct editorial voices—each drawn from the GWA’s original wrestling press. By blending modern analysis with faithful recreations, the Chronicles presents wrestling history not as a single truth, but as a layered, evolving narrative.
