WWE has a Problem with the Past: The WWE Network and Royalties
If you have the WWE Network, odds are you hit a variety of
programming the fed has on offer. There are the monthly pay-per-views
(or events, as WWE briefly tried to push them), the original
programming, and a mammoth library of classic wrestling tapes,
stretching from the early days of the modern era.WWE decided at some point after purchasing WCW that it would set
itself up as the custodians of wrestling history. This was not and is
not entirely, or even mostly, altruistic; WWE brass realized early on
that there was money to be made cashing in on the sheer volume of
footage the purchases of WCW and ECW brought with them. This was only
compounded as WWE snatched up more and more tape archives from dead
territories: WCCW, AWA, GWF, Smoky Mountain, Stampede, and more.
