WWE Libraries Inc.〔http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1091907/000120677408000468/exhibit21-1.htm〕 (branded as WWE Video Library) is a WWE-owned subsidiary that consists of the largest collection of professional wrestling videos and copyrights in the world. It is comprised not only of past and current works by WWE (formerly the World Wide Wrestling Federation, World Wrestling Federation, World Wrestling Federation Entertainment and World Wrestling Entertainment) but the works of now defunct professional wrestling promotions dating back to the 1940s. As of 2014, the library stands at 150,000 hours of content〔http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2014/0807/579784/how-many-hours-of-footage-wwe-has/〕 including weekly television shows, pay-per-views, and recorded house shows.〔 The collection represents a very significant portion of the visual history of modern professional wrestling in the United States and Canada. WWE has made their classic holdings available through numerous home-video releases, ''WWE Vintage Collection'' and the WWE Network. The dates listed below for purchased organizations and libraries represent the duration of that company, and may not necessarily represent the extent of historical video owned. == Classic WWE holdings == The library includes all past and present WWE tapes dating back to the 1950s, including all previous forms of the company, although tapes before 1975 haven't been available on WWE Network yet: *Capitol Wrestling Corporation (1952-1963) *World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) (1963-1979) *World Wrestling Federation (WWF) (1979-2002) *World Wrestling Entertainment/WWE (2002-present) * *Raw (1993–present) * *SmackDown (1999–present) * *NXT (2010–Present) * *ECW (2006-2010) Although not wrestling content, the library's holdings also include footage from various WWF/E produced ventures including the 1985-1987 cartoon series ''Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling'', the 1989 film ''No Holds Barred'', the World Bodybuilding Federation (1990-1992), the XFL (2001), and any motion pictures produced by WWE Films. Footage saved from WWE's days as the Capitol Wrestling Corporation is also among the few surviving footage of broadcasts from the DuMont Television Network, as most of their footage was destroyed in the mid-1970s.〔(DuMont historical website, Channel 5 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WWE Libraries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
