Bill Apter (born October 22, 1945) is an American journalist specializing in professional wrestling, and is best known for the fan magazines of which he was part of the editorial staff and photographed matches from the 1970s to the present. The magazine he became most prominently known for was Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Apter was so closely associated with these popular magazines that they were often known as "Apter Mags."
Biography
Early career
Apter was a successful reporter-writer-photographer for several wrestling and boxing magazines published by Stanley Weston, including The Wrestler and Inside Wrestling. He was eventually promoted to the senior editor spot at Weston's wrestling properties. When wrestling boomed in popularity in the 1980s, Apter's (actually Weston's) magazines rode the wave, commenting and expanding on the storylines of the World Wrestling Federation, Jim Crockett Promotions and the American Wrestling Association in addition to a multitude of smaller companies, as well as providing readers with a wealth of exclusive interviews and photographs.

These are interviews recorded on a cheap cassette in 1971. Bill Apter, the famous wrestling journalist, had a weekly radio show called The Wrestler. These recording have static throughout, but most of it is listenable. I hope that an audio wizard is able to clean up the sound and repost it.
Bill Apter, the Godfather of pro wrestling media, talks to WWE Executive Vice President Creative Stephanie McMahon and WWE Senior Vice President Special Events John Saboor during the grand opening of the WWE Performance Center on Thursday, July 11 in Orlando. Apter led all media who attended the event from abroad.
Nobody had a career like Arn Anderson. For more than three decades he has been the epitome of “old school.” Hear him as you’ve never heard him before every Tuesday at 6am Eastern as you gives you a peak behind the curtain for the first time ever. Each week Paul Bromwell will examine Arn’s days in the territories, becoming an Anderson, creating the Four Horsemen in the NWA, becoming a Hall of Famer, and being a producer behind the scenes for years for WWE proving “The Enforcer” has a story unlike anyone else. Known for his trademark Spinebuster and incredible “promos” in front of the camera, it’s his timing and wit that has kept “the boys” in stitches behind the scenes. Hear for yourself why ARN is the new “symbol of excellence” in professional wrestling podcasting exclusively on Westwood One Podcast Network, Tuesdays at 6am Eastern.

Even though the Wyatt Sicks segment on WWE RAW was almost universally praised, Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter was not a fan. So much so, that he used a word in this edition of the Wrestling Time Machine that he rarely uses - YUCK!
