How far in advance does WWE book their events?

If you mean the live events themselves, traditionally, their tours are booked out a year to 18 months in advance, but since the Endeavor acquisition of the company, that may have changed.

I was reading a book about Evel Knievel and it mentioned Vince McMahon promoted the closed circuit of Knievel trying to fly over Snake River.  Does WWE own that footage?

I believe the footage resides with the Knievel estate.

Would WWE own the rights to the Antonio Inoki vs. Muhammad Ali match?

I am sure a copy of it is sitting in their archives but I don't know if the ownership would fall upon their shoulders.  

I've been tracking down World Class shows and cannot seem to find a tape of the final Parade of Champions.  Any chance WWE owns that footage?

I have never, ever heard of any footage of the show existing.

I'm watching Great American Bash 1988 - PRICE OF FREEDOM on Peacock.  Whatever happened to the Triple Cage Tower of Doom.  Where did it come from and what happened to it?

The Cage was actually used by World Class Championship Wrestling at least once before it was brought in and used at the Bash.  The storyline explanation for the Cage was that Kevin Sullivan acquired the plans in Singapore and had it erected.  My guess as to what happened to the cage is it was broken down into scrap and discarded.  I don't believe it was something NWA/WCW held onto it as it was never used again.  The version used in WCW was not the same structure.
