Bill Apter

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.

Dutch Mantel

Wayne Maurice Keown (born November 29, 1949) is an American professional wrestling manager, booker and retired professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Dutch Mantel (also spelled Mantell). He is currently performing for WWE as Zeb Colter.

Keown debuted in 1972, as Wayne Cowan. While he primarily wrestled on the regional and independent circuits, he made appearances with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as Dutch Mantel and with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as Uncle Zebekiah in the early to mid-1990s. In the late 1990s and 2000s, he worked as a booker for the World Wrestling Council, the International Wrestling Association and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

Early life

Keown graduated from Walhalla High School in Walhalla, SC. He attended Clemson University for one year before being 'drafted' into military service undergoing basic training at Ft. Jackson, SC before being assigned to the U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry Division Keown was awarded the Vietnam Service Medal for his tour of Vietnam.

Bill Apter

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.
