Official promotion websites

 * WWE.com – Contents of pay-per-view match previews are replaced with the match results when they are available. Any content taken from the preview articles should be archived (see below).
 * AllEliteWrestling.com
 * TNAWrestling.com
 * ROHWrestling.com
 * NJPW1972.com
 * Official websites of other promotions

Resources

 * Wayback Machine – A great way to find information from a reliable source that may have been deleted. This website can also be used to archive webpages.
 * Archive.is – Same usage as above. If you cannot find an archived version of a webpage on one, try the other.
 * Webcitation.org – About the same as the two above, but not as easy to search.
 * FindArticles – May be useful for finding articles on a specific subject.

Limited reliable sources
Use with caution, mainly for uncontroversial claims such as the attendance of the event, as these sites do not have proven fact checking.

Dead sources
May be found in archives.


 * Puroresu Spirit – English results for many Japanese promotions.

Aggregators
News aggregators are websites that collects headlines from other pro wrestling news sites, but does not copy it. Might be worth looking at to see who broke a story.


 * The Professional Wrestling Database
 * SLAM.NEWS
 * Classic Wrestling Articles – This source provides articles from newspapers and magazines dating from 1852, but since it is a blog, it is recommended not to directly cite it, but instead use it to find the original articles to cite from.
 * Wrestling.delivery

Unreliable sources
Avoid using these sources. They report rumors, speculation, and have no reliable sourcing (where they get their information from).
