PWI
ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNERS
This is a complete listing of all PWI Achievement Award winners. We’ve
also provided a comprehensive listing of runners-up (which were first
reported in 1976) for all awards. Award winners were first presented
annually in the pages of Pro Wrestling Illustrated effective with our
March 1982 issue. Prior to that, awards appeared in Sports Review
Wrestling (1980 awards in the March 1981 edition), Sports Review
Wrestling Annual (1977-’79 awards in Spring 1978, ’79, and ’80
editions), and Victory Sports Series Wrestling Annual and Yearbook
editions (1972-’76 awards in issues #4, 7, 11, 14, and 18).
