    The Ring Magazine no longer exists?

    Today, I tried to get on The Ring's website: thering-online.com and it was no longer there.
    Instead there was/is a wrestling magazine in its place.
    I'm wondering if they switched URLs or if the magazine and its website will no longer exist?
    Anyone have any details?
    I just checked the website yesterday and it was still the same boxing magazine and it wasn't until I tried getting on it today that it was no longer there.

    Hopefully GBP didn't do some shady **** and sell it or something..
    What will we do without our boxing bible??
    I know a lot of people have criticized it since DLH bought it but it's still the most valuable and best tool we boxing fans have out there when it comes to ratings and such.

    I'm not sure why but I don't think it has anything to do with GBP. Kappa Publishing has been responsible for The Ring Magazine and Pro Wrestling Illustrated for a while. Strange nonetheless...

    EDIT: Nevermind, I guess GBP does own both since they acquired them from kappa publishing according to this article.

    Your daily source for professional wrestling & MMA news, reviews, recaps, editorials, podcasts and entertainment.


    There is a relationship between the two but perhaps this is just some sort of technical error taking place. If The Ring Magazine no longer existed we would have heard an announcement.

      Most people that critize the Ring magazine are critizing things that were there before Delahoya ever bought the magazine.

        I know.. which is pretty ****** if ya ask me.
        DLH doesn't even have a say in what goes in or gets to be put on the magazine.
        But it's no longer there..
