Pro Wrestling Torrents site is currently and will be offline for a short time.
This is due to WWE has asked their lawyers to warn Pro Wrestling Torrents to stop infringing WWE copyrights.
At least this is a warning and not immediate action taken by their local authorities.
The owner of Pro Wrestling Torrents received a warning email from WWE lawyer (see below)
