Has there been any further news on the WWC tape library since WWE purchased it? In regards to what condition it is in, or if WWE plans to use it any capacity in the near future?
As luck would have it, yes there is. For those unaware, back in November last year, news broke that WWE had acquired the video library of World Wrestling Council (WWC) of Puerto Rico. One major concern was that the footage was severely damaged by a hurricane that had then-recently happened in the area. Unfortunately, we were told a good few months ago that this was indeed the case and the issues were so extensive that a lot of the acquired tapes were sent to an outside specialist. However, there is a positive. According to a source, WWE ended up receiving a lot more footage than expected, including “a ton” of unmarked film reels. So the impression we were given at the time was that even if a significant chunk is deemed unsalvageable, the larger haul means that a good chunk would hopefully still survive.
