So. Here's my question.

This says December 2024. This is the December issue, and its on sale now. Do they realize it's freakin September???

This is where Regal shows up and explains that calendars are different in kayfabe, I guess.

Never expect to see the magazine on newsstands now to have the current month. Don't ask me why, I'm sure google has the answer somewhere as it's long left my mind, but for my whole life just about every magazine I've ever gotten has been printed on the cover/in the small print inside as 1-3 months ahead of whatever the current month is.

Edit: Fucking ADHD, sec -

Cover Date Article on Wikipedia:

"In the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, the standard practice is to display on magazine covers a date which is some weeks or months in the future from the publishing or release date. There are two reasons for this discrepancy: first, to allow magazines to continue appearing "current" to consumers even after they have been on sale for some time (since not all magazines will be sold immediately), and second, to inform newsstands when an unsold magazine can be removed from the stands and returned to the publishing company or be destroyed (in this case, the cover date is also the pull date).

Weeklies (such as Time and Newsweek) are generally dated a week ahead. Monthlies (such as National Geographic) are generally dated a half month ahead, and quarterlies are generally dated two or three months ahead.

In other countries, the cover date usually matches more closely the date of publication, and may indeed be identical where weekly magazines are concerned.

In all markets, it is rare for monthly magazines to indicate a particular day of the month: thus issues are dated May 2016, and so on, whereas weekly magazines may be dated 17 May 2016. "

Considering it's print media, that's even WORSE. Because I haven't read this issue (or most other issues to be fair). However I assume if this magazine hit the news stands today, It would cover things that happened maybe 3-6 weeks ago. So you're talking about the fallout from Summerslam, and maybe the build-up to All-out in Wembley. And it's labeled as DECEMBER!!!

Summerslam coverage......in December.

I mean, I know I'm Lost_My_Mind, but I'm not crazy on this one, right? That seems really weird, does it not?

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.
