WWE REVIVING OLD ECW PPV NAME

By Mike Johnson on 2025-08-18 15:42:00

In regard to rumors floating around, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple WWE sources today that the company will be resurrecting the old WrestlePalooza name used by the original ECW for the planned and about to be announced 9/20 event in Indianapolis.

PWInsider.com is told the official announcement will be coming this week. 

As we broke last night, there is a belief in the broadcast industry that the event could be carried by ESPN.  

ECW began using the WrestlePalooza name, derived from legendary music festival LollaPalooza, in 1995 through the end of the promotion's legendary run.   The 1998 edition, subtitled On Enemy Turf took place in Cobb County, GA live on PPV.

In recent years, the name has been utilized by Minneapolis' F1rst Wrestling, including this past June.
