Bill Apter

"It's no secret that the accomplishments of Bill Apter as a magazine editor and photographer are worthy of being inducted in any wrestling hall of fame. Bill launched many young wrestlers by allowing them to grace his magazine covers. He gave them exposure before cable television and the internet would make information so readily available. You can't even watch a WWE retrospective DVD without having an Apter magazine cover placed in as a reference material."
