An answer to the question about where the word "dirtsheet" came from in wrestling.
Quote:

The “dirt sheets” were so named becaues they provided the “inside dirt” of the professional wrestling business. It was used as something of a catch all for newsletters, fanzines and, more contemporaneously, Internet reporting. The grouping together of all manner of wrestling reporting into one category and calling them “dirt sheets” has earned the ire of some reputable professional wrestling journalists who resent being lumped in with so-called "newz" sites that routinely steal or fabricate content.
