History

Perspective

Silver Vision had exclusive distribution rights to the WWE Tagged Classics range, a unique series of DVDs that were exempt from well-documented legal restraints imposed by federal lawsuits initiated by the World Wide Fund for Nature in 2002.[2] The lawsuits prohibited the referencing and use of all versions of the World Wrestling Federation logo and the initials "WWF", with only the DVD cover art and menu screens of the "Tagged Classics" displaying the World Wrestling Entertainment logo and the initials "WWE".

In July 2012, WWE came to a new agreement with the World Wide Fund for Nature which allowed the WWE to no longer censor any of the WWF logos and the spoken initials of "WWF", however, WWE cannot use any WWF logos in the present day, except in archival footage.[3]

On 19 September 2012, Silver Vision announced on their website that the partnership between their parent Clear Vision Ltd. and WWE would end on 31 December 2012, with SummerSlam 2012 and nWo: The Revolution being the label's final WWE release. Silver Vision announced they would continue to release WWE DVDs while supplies last.[4] On 19 November 2012, it was announced that FremantleMedia (now Fremantle) would be the new WWE Home Video distributor for the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe.[5] Silver Vision's website sold their last WWE DVDs by June 2013[6] and after that date, the brand officially was dissolved, with their website redirecting to their parent company Clear Vision afterwards.

In January 2013, Queensway Digital, Clear Vision's parent company, announced they had secured the deal to release TNA DVDs after losing their WWE license.[7] In December 2013, the company entered administration.[8] On 29 July 2014, the company went under a voluntary strike-off.[9]

The company continued to release Film DVDs and WWE DVDs until 2017, when its online store went offline, with its domain soon lapsing.
