PWI Stanley Weston Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The PWI Stanley Weston Award, given yearly since 1981 by professional wrestling magazine Pro Wrestling Illustrated, recognizes lifetime achievement by a professional wrestling personality as decided by the editors of the magazine. The award was originally known as the PWI Editor's Award. Beginning with the March 2003 year-end edition, the award was renamed in memory of PWI founder and longtime publisher Stanley Weston, who died in 2002.
