History

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.[1] 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.[2]

End of Silver Vision

Silver Vision parted ways with WWE on 31 December 2012, with nWo: The Revolution being the label's final WWE release. 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.[3]

Clear Vision also distributed Gaiam, Gormiti, Marvel Animation, NBA and UFC DVD's at retail outlets and through its website. Shortly after losing distribution rights for WWE Home Video, Clear Vision took over as distributor for TNA Home Video in the United Kingdom and Europe. In December 2013, Clear Vision was called into the administration.[4]

OnWrestling DVD Network, Silver Vision released a statement informing fans that as of December 31, 2012 they would be parting ways with WWE.
