Torch Newsletter #792 (cover-dated January 10, 2004) has just been added to the Torch VIP Archives. VIP members can access the complete Torch Back issue by clicking here, or just click on the VIP Torch Archives button in the upper right cover of this webpage, then go to "Torch Newsletter Back Issues 2004" for a list of all 2004 back issues since the beginning of the year.
You can read this back issue online in two ways: either as text on a web browser or as a PDF (which is also printable) so you can see the news and features as they were originally formatted and featured - a new feature for select PWTorch Newsletters.
This week's Torch Newsletter features the 2003 Torch Awards including MVP of the Year, Best Wrestler, Best Heel, Best Babyface, Best PPV, Best Feud, and Best TV Series. Also, the WWE Newswire features several first-generation insider scoops on behind the scenes happenings in WWE related to this week's Raw, the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, Goldberg's future, Kevin Nash's future, Kurt Angle's future, roster cutbacks, and more. Jason Powell's full-page "On Topic" column takes an in-depth look at the Guerreros feud and how with a little depth and a turn away from the ordinary and obvious it could really take off. Plus, Wade Keller's "End Notes" featuring his random thoughts on the bigger stories of the week, brief TV Summaries and Match Results from the major shows of the past week, the handy "Upcoming Events" schedule, and more!
The VIP section adds two or three new complete Torch Newsletter back issues roughly every week to the Torch VIP Archives section - one from 20 years ago this week, one from ten years ago this week, and another from five years ago this week. The back issues catch you up on insider stories and controversial commentaries at a very different time in the wrestling industry.
