WWE Tagged Classics

WWE Tagged Classics was a series of two-disc DVD sets produced by Silver Vision and World Wrestling Entertainment for retail markets in Region 2 in PAL format.

A limited amount of Tagged Classics were released in the United States, spanning the years 2003-2005 and in Canada; 2002-2005, these sets were not produced by Silver Vision.

The future of the Tagged Classics series is uncertain due to Silver Vision and WWE parting ways at the end of 2012.

[2] Fremantle who replaced Silver Vision only sells WWE events prior to 2024 https://www.wrestlingdvdnetwork.com/will-wrestlemania-40-release-on-dvd-blu-ray/222462/ The tagged classics dvds released prior to 2012 were unique as they were, for the most part, free from the former well-documented legal restraints imposed by the federal lawsuits initiated by the World Wildlife Fund in 2002 that prohibited the referencing and use of the scratch logo and initials "WWF", with only the cover art and menu screens of the Tagged Classics displaying the initials "WWE".

They served as a more faithful representation of archived WWF material than the more recent Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series anthologies that were released using the WWE logo before 2012.

For instance, on the WrestleMania: The Complete Anthology box set — Demolition's entrance theme is dubbed over with generic production music.

Also, the court order required the company to remove both auditory and visual references of "WWF" in its library of video footage outside the United Kingdom.
