Triple H shares exclusive details about how WWE Wrestlepalooza was put together

WWE CCO Triple H recently shared some exclusive details about how Wrestlepalooza was put together. The Stamford-based wrestling promotion and ESPN are set to kickstart their broadcast partnership with the premium live event.

On August 20, World Wrestling Entertainment officially announced the return of Wrestlepalooza after twenty years. Although the name was previously used by ECW between 1995 and 2005, the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, will host the first edition of the show under the global juggernaut's banner on September 30.

Triple H recently spoke about Wrestlepalooza during his appearance at TEDSports Indianapolis. The Game stated that ESPN told WWE that they would love to kick-start their partnership with a first-time event.

"On September 20th, here, we’re going to do Wrestlepalooza. It’s a new event for us. It’s the first event that will take place on ESPN on their app. Huge, massive event for us. ESPN, as we were working into this partnership with them, said, ‘We’d love to have an initial first-run event that would be epic," Triple H said.

Triple H added that ESPN gave WWE a date, and the wrestling promotion came up with Indianapolis as the host city. He pointed out that it all happened in a very short period of time.

"They gave us a date, we looked at where we could run it. Indy came up, we were like, ‘Perfect. They’re the perfect host city for this first massive event for us.’ We come in and do it. That all happened in a very, very short window of time. So a period of time where we had a PLE and another PLE six weeks apart. All of a sudden, there’s one in the middle, and it’s got to be bigger than everything else because it’s the launch point, right?" Triple H added. [H/T: Fightful]
