Reading for Information
​

1: Do you enjoy reading to discover new information?

Yes.

2: How much reading would you say you do per day?

A couple hours.

Websites and textbooks.

Both.

5: Would you be willing to read up more if you knew you were going to learn about something you had an interest in?

Probably.

Magazines​

6: Do you read magazines often? If so, how many per month?

No. Maybe I read a magazine once a month, if that.

7: Are you willing to change your habits concerning the previous question?

Doubtful.

8: Is the price of a magazine your main concern, or its content?

Speed of information is my greatest concern so I guess content. Although I am cheap and don't see the appeal of paying for "old" information I can almost certainly get for free elsewhere.

9: Does a front cover have anything to do with your willingness to look at a magazine?

Not usually.

10: What is going to attract your attention to a publication more than anything else? For example, bright colours, a strong image, a known brand etc...

Scantily clad women.

Popular Culture​

11: When I mention the term “Popular Culture” do you have an idea of what I mean by that? If not, click on the spoiler below.

Yes.

12: Would you consider yourself a follower of more obscure popular culture such as manga, anime, cult TV shows etc..?

Yes but not anime type stuff.

13: Are there any specific aspects of popular culture you are interested in, but know little about? If so, what are they?

No, if I am interested in something I tend to delve pretty deep into the available information.

14: Would you be interested in reviews on specific elements of popular culture, if so, which sort of reviews?

No.

15: Popular culture is everywhere, but I want to embrace lesser known elements with my publication. Can you suggest any obscure ideas I may not have mentioned?

Wrestling​

16: Do you prefer it be kept kayfabe or non-kayfabe, or perhaps a mixture of the two?

Mix on screen, non-kayfabe off.

17: Would you be interested in a recurring segment in a magazine that keeps you up to date with the latest happenings in the world of WWE, TNA and all things wrestling?

No.

18: Should I include elements outside of traditional, North American wrestling like Lucha Libre, Japanese, European wrestling etc..?

More interesting than 17 to me but I would not get your hopes up for me to read either.

19: Which works better for a wrestling themed cover; an action shot, or a pre-posed for image?

Action shot.

20: What sort of articles/ideas would intrigue you most about wrestling in a magazine?

Anything not actually about wrestling but involving wrestlers.

Reading for Information

1: Do you enjoy reading to discover new information?

Yes

2: How much reading would you say you do per day?

A lot - Articles, books, internet pages, probably 5-6 hours

3: What sort of reading do you do on a regular basis?

All sorts of non-fiction, although primarily history; Star Wars sci-fi novels too

4: Do you read for entertainment or information, or perhaps both?

Both.

5: Would you be willing to read up more if you knew you were going to learn about something you had an interest in?

All the time. It is called natural curiosity.

Magazines

6: Do you read magazines often? If so, how many per month?

One.

7: Are you willing to change your habits concerning the previous question?

Probably not.

8: Is the price of a magazine your main concern, or its content?

Content.

9: Does a front cover have anything to do with your willingness to look at a magazine?

Yes. It affects everyone even if they deny it.

10: What is going to attract your attention to a publication more than anything else? For example, bright colours, a strong image, a known brand etc...

Content, known brand, striking cover in that order.

Popular Culture

11: When I mention the term “Popular Culture” do you have an idea of what I mean by that? If not, click on the spoiler below.

Yes.

12: Would you consider yourself a follower of more obscure popular culture such as manga, anime, cult TV shows etc..?

Yes, although I would disagree somewhat with the idea of "obscure popular culture." A better description would be niche

13: Are there any specific aspects of popular culture you are interested in, but know little about? If so, what are they?

I would have an almost violently negative reaction to the more narrow idea of "popular culture" that prevails today as it is usually not remotely entertaining or culturally stimulating.

14: Would you be interested in reviews on specific elements of popular culture, if so, which sort of reviews?

No.

15: Popular culture is everywhere, but I want to embrace lesser known elements with my publication. Can you suggest any obscure ideas I may not have mentioned?

In my recent experience, I am getting less and less able to distinguish what is even remotely popular these days.

Wrestling

16: Do you prefer it be kept kayfabe or non-kayfabe, or perhaps a mixture of the two?

It would be very difficult to do both as it could come off as silly. It would be better to pick one target audience and stick to it. Kayfabe might have a bigger audience but non-kayfabe would likely be easier to write.

17: Would you be interested in a recurring segment in a magazine that keeps you up to date with the latest happenings in the world of WWE, TNA and all things wrestling?

No.

18: Should I include elements outside of traditional, North American wrestling like Lucha Libre, Japanese, European wrestling etc..?

Only if you are going for a non-kayfabe approach.

19: Which works better for a wrestling themed cover; an action shot, or a pre-posed for image?

Again, it would probably depend on the theme - kayfabe might benefit more from the posed image while non-kayfabe might want more of an action shot. Of course, there is always room for overlap.

20: What sort of articles/ideas would intrigue you most about wrestling in a magazine?

History.
