10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE HQ

6. A Separate Building Hosts The Video Vault

The warehouse is annexed onto Titan Towers. The cavernous video vault that houses all of WWE's master tapes and footage isn't. It's in a separate building that's a short drive away from the main headquarters, and there's a good reason for that.

It's absolutely massive.

WWE own tape for companies as varied as WCW, ECW, AWA, World Class, Championship Wrestling from Florida, Smoky Mountain Wrestling and others. Not only that, there are endless hours of in-house footage too. WWF/WWE pay-per-views, every single episode of Raw, SmackDown, Sunday Night Heat, Superstars and other weeklies past and present are meticulously kept and curated.

Much of the library is digital now, but WWE still keep master tapes close at hand too. That's why they needed a separate building to hold it all. Think of this: in a 2013 WWE.com article, asset manager George Germanakos said the place had 48,658 tapes. That was almost six years ago, meaning there will be more now.
