The magazine is the longest published English language wrestling magazine still in production. <i>PWI</i> publishes bi-monthly issues and annual special issues such as their "Almanac and Book of Facts".

In 2008, they added an annual "Top 50 Female Wrestlers" list, which was later expanded and renamed to the "Top 100 Female Wrestlers" list in 2018 and then again in 2021 as the "Top 150 Female Wrestlers."

many wrestling organizations promote their lead title as a <a href="/wiki/World_Heavyweight_Championship_(professional_wrestling)" class="mw-redirect" title="World Heavyweight Championship (professional wrestling)">world heavyweight championship</a>, <i>Pro Wrestling Illustrated</i> (<i>PWI</i>) has only recognized a few championships as valid world titles at any one time. <i>PWI</i> has also generally recognized the main tag team title from any promotion with a recognized world heavyweight championship as being a <a href="/wiki/World_tag_team_championship" title="World tag team championship">world tag team championship</a> (unless named otherwise by the promotion) and certain other select titles from those promotions as world championships. </p><p>In 1983, <i>PWI</i> withdrew world title recognition from the <a href="/wiki/WWE_Championship" title="WWE Championship">WWF World Heavyweight Championship</a>, citing how champion <a href="/wiki/Bob_Backlund" title="Bob

increasingly phased out the latter name in the preceding months. In spring 1991, the family of magazines adopted a new policy of referring to the current promotion and its champions as WCW and the promotion's pre-1991 past as the NWA.
