Die Hard wrestling fans cannot simply mention about wrestling dvd or wrestling videos without giving the proper credits to the WWE library because they currently have the copyrights to the largest collection of professional wrestling videos on planet earth.

According to the data on Wikipedia, the library currently has about over 95,000 hours of content with increasing hours every week coming from monthly pay-pay-views, house shows, RAW show, Smackdown Shows, ECW shows, and so on. Through Vince McMahon’s (owner and Chairman of the company) brilliant strategy and marketing skills, he eventually bought out most of the competition, making his WWE the biggest global wrestling organization in the world.

The WWE DVD video collection currently consist of all its own federation tapes starting from Capitol Wrestling Corporation in the 1950s to the present WWE. It also has the rights to any WWE produced ventures such as cartoon series featuring Hulk Hogan, the XFL, and all the currently produced WWE Films.

What makes the WWE DVD library the largest in the world is its ability to buy out and purchased libraries of now defunct wrestling organizations through out the years. It currently includes libraries from American Wrestling Association, Georgia Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling, Ohio Valley Wrestling, Smoky Mountain Wrestling, Stampede Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling, World Class Championship Wrestling, and the Jim Crockett Promotions.

Perhaps the most impressive collection of the library is that of the Jim Crockett Promotions since it was the major and largest NWA member for the majority of its existence. It later renamed itself WCW in the 1980s until it left the NWA in 1993. In 2001, WWE was able to acquire this library as Vince bought WCW, which contained a significance amount of NWA matches all the way dating to the 1970s to the late 1990s.

If you are a wrestling fan for a while now, You probably have seen superstars such as Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and so on entertained you from the ring or the locker room countless times. You probably recalled historic moments such as the amazing TLC matches at various PPV events, the chaos and madness of the NWO and Degeneration X, the Extreme Hardcore wrestling, Stone Cold beer bathing his boss, Hogan vs Rock, The Ultimate Showdown, the explosion of Mega Powers, Shawn Michaels betraying and superkicking Marty to becoming the Heart Break Kid, the classic Iron Man Match at Wrestlemania XII,The Rock becoming a movie star in Hollywood, the Undefeated streak of the Undertaker and so much more.

Next time you are going to watch professional wrestling to pay tribute to the wrestlers who have put their lives on the lives to entertain you, be sure to remember it is all possible because of the WWE Wrestling Video Archive. Without this library, it would not be possible for WWE to release any wrestling related videos, thus erasing much of the history of professional wrestling.
