This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989 without a copyright notice, and its copyright was not subsequently registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within 5 years.
Unless its author has been dead for several years, it is copyrighted in the countries or areas that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada (50 pma), Mainland China (50 pma, not Hong Kong or Macau), Germany (70 pma), Mexico (100 pma), Switzerland (70 pma), and other countries with individual treaties. See this page for further explanation.
"The Wrestler" magazine makes no mention of copyright within its pages. It attributes its rights to "G.C. London Publishing Corp." London Publishing Corp is the same publisher behind the more notable Pro Wrestling Illustrated, still in publication today. "London Publishing Corp." wrestling magazines such as PWI did not begin properly attributing copyright until the year 2000. Likewise, publications in the same family of magazines such as "The Wrestler" also failed to correctly assign copyright.
