Pro Wrestling Illustrated announced on Thursday that the 2012 PWI Female 50 issue is now available for viewing and digital download on their official website at www.pwi-online.com and will be available in stores later this month.

Speaking about the selection process, Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s senior writer Dan Murphy noted, “All candidates were primarily evaluated for their accomplishments during the period of September 1, 2011 through August 30, 2012 though accomplishments outside that time parameter also were taken under consideration. We evaluated each woman on championships won, quality of opposition, won-loss record, technical proficiency and momentum/promotional “push” during the evaluation period.”

The full issue – including photos and bios – is available at www.pwi-online.com.
