Ground Zero: In Your House was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the International Wrestling Federation (IWF), which took place on September 7, 1997 at Louisville Gardens in Louisville, Kentucky. This was the first three-hour In Your House pay-per-view, and also the first that featured the "In Your House" name as the subtitle rather than the main title.
Seven professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the card. One of the main event matches saw Ryan Barnhart and "The Deadman" Martin McAlmond wrestle to a no contest in their first ever one-on-one match in the IWF. In the other main event match, Bret Heart defeated The Patriot to retain the IWF Championship. The Headbangers won the vacant IWF Tag Team Championship in a Four-Way Tag Team Elimination match and Bryan Pillman defeated James Thomas. Due to prior stipulations, Thomas' manager/wife (storyline and real-life) Melissa was required to become Pillman's personal assistant for 30 days.
