Who we are
F4WOnline (Wrestling Observer / Figure Four Online) is a destination for in-depth pro wrestling and MMA coverage that blends daily news, live event results, long-form reporting, and one of the most established podcast lineups in the space. We follow WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA/Impact, major independents, and key MMA promotions, and we publish throughout the day so fans can keep up with what matters as it happens. Subscribers get weekly access to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter along with a large archive of member-only audio, including flagship shows like Wrestling Observer Radio and the Bryan & Vinny Show, available across web and major podcast platforms.
The site grew out of the print Wrestling Observer Newsletter founded in 1982 and later merged online with Bryan Alvarez’s Figure Four Weekly in 2008, which brought the newsletter’s deep reporting together with a modern subscription model and a daily audio network. F4WOnline operates as Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online and, is part of The Monk Media , Inc. (registered at 2035 Sunset Lake Road, Suite B-2, Newark, Delaware 19702, USA), reflecting a focus on sustainable growth, reader value, and clear standards for accuracy and corrections.
