WWE Libraries Inc.,[2] branded as the WWE Legacy Department,[3] is an American media company that consists of the largest collection of professional wrestling videos and copyrights in the world.[4] The Legacy Department is a subsidiary of WWE, the professional wrestling subsidiary of TKO Group Holdings. It comprises not only past and current works by WWE (formerly the Capitol Wrestling Corporation, World Wide Wrestling Federation, World Wrestling Federation, and World Wrestling Entertainment) but also the works of now defunct professional wrestling promotions dating back to the 1930s.[5] As of 2014, the library stands at 150,000 hours of content[6] including weekly television shows, pay-per-views, and recorded house shows.[4] 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, the Vintage television program, and on the WWE Network and WWE Classics on Demand services.
