Pound for pound Pound for pound is a ranking used in combat sports, such as boxing or mixed martial arts, of who the better fighters are relative to their weight (i.e., adjusted to compensate for weight class). As these fighters do not compete directly, judging the best fighter pound for pound is subjective, and ratings vary. They may be based on a range of criteria including "quality of opposition", factors such as how exciting the fighter is or how famous they are, or be an attempt to determine who would win if all those ranked were the same size. In boxing, the term was historically associated with fighters such as Benny Leonard and Sugar Ray Robinson who were widely considered to be the most skilled fighters of their day, to distinguish them from the generally more popular (and better compensated) heavyweight champions. Since 1990, "The Ring" magazine has maintained a pound for pound rank of fighters. ESPN.com has a list for mixed martial artists. In December 2013, Ronda Rousey became the first woman to appear on the top 10 of a mixed-gender major publication.

Pubic Wars Pubic Wars, a pun on the Punic Wars, is the name given to the rivalry between the pornographic magazines "Playboy" and "Penthouse" during the 1960s and 1970s. Each magazine strove to show just a little bit more than the other, without getting too crude. The term was coined by "Playboy" owner Hugh Hefner. In 1950s and 1960s America, it was generally agreed that nude photographs were not pornographic unless they showed pubic hair or genitals. "Respectable" photography was careful to come close to, but not cross over, this line. Consequently, the depiction of pubic hair was "de facto" forbidden in U.S. pornographic magazines.

Friendship and Freedom Friendship and Freedom, published from 1924 to 1925, was a short-lived American gay-interest newsletter published by the Chicago-based Society for Human Rights (SHR), the first recognized homosexual rights organization in the United States. Henry Gerber, founder of the Society for Human Rights, started publishing the newsletter using his personal typewriter. The purpose of the newsletter was to act as a forum of discussion among gay men. The first issue of the newsletter was published in 1924, and a total of only two issues were published. "Friendship and Freedom" was the first known gay-interest periodical in the United States. This periodical, along with Jim Kepner's "Gay Fan" and Lisa Ben's "Vice Versa", is described by author of LGBT-issues James Thomas Sears as "amateurish". The title of the magazine, "Friendship and Freedom", was directly translated from a 1920s German gay magazine, "Freundschaft und Freiheit".

1980s professional wrestling boom The 1980s professional wrestling boom (more commonly referred to as the Golden Age) was a surge in the popularity of professional wrestling in the United States and elsewhere throughout the 1980s. The expansion of cable television and pay-per-view, coupled with the efforts of promoters such as Vince McMahon, saw professional wrestling shift from a system controlled by numerous regional companies to one dominated by two nationwide companies: McMahon's World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling (WCW); the latter in the 1990s, as by the time the WWF were in the top during the 1980s and early 1990s, the WCW was still a National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) territory. The decade also saw a considerable decline in the power of the NWA, a cartel which had until then domineered the wrestling landscape, and in the efforts to sustain belief in the verisimilitude of wrestling.
