Wrestlepalooza is a professional wrestling event currently produced by WWE. It was originally produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 2000. Most of the events' matches were filmed for broadcast during ECW's television programs (including ECW Hardcore TV and its program on TNN), although the 1998 edition would be televised as a pay-per-view event.

In August 2025, WWE—which had acquired ECW's assets and library after its closure—announced that it would hold a new event under the Wrestlepalooza name in Indianapolis in September. [1]
