George_South Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I think this magazine was Eddie Ellner's baby. It was a magazine geared toward the heel perspective. I'm sure it only last a couple-few years, but I got a kick outta reading it when I was younger. Anyone else remember this?
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Cabbageboy and myself were discussing this a long time ago. I had the inaugural issue with Luger and Heenan on the front cover. My favorite part was the bottom twenty rankings, all babyfaces, complete with snide remarks, i.e. Crush- Beat up by a clown, Erik Watts- Daddy What'd you bring me? I don't know if my local grocery store carried it beyond the first one, because I cannot recall ever seeing another.

Actually a pretty creative idea---too bad it never caught on. I just remember pretty much every article used to rank on ol' Dusty pretty bad. Which was, of course, hilarious.
cabbageboy Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Yeah there was a thread about this a while ago. Rulebreaker was a surreal magazine, but it was more of a novelty magazine than something that could sustain itself. Heel columnists are really funny in a PWI setting where it's a counter to the norm, but a whole magazine of babyface bashing and pimping the heels gets wearisome. Still, the first one had a great headline: "1993: Year of the Rulebreaker!"
Chazz Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I remember buying an issue in 1994-95. I'm not sure, but I think it was a double issued combined with PWI. Anyways, I remember it praised Brutus Beefcake/Butcher for finally turning on Hogan. Pretty funny stuff.
