Revision as of 20:49, 11 January 2016
In Your House was a pay-per-view series created by the International Wrestling Federation (IWF). The original concept was that, in months when the IWF was not holding one of its major PPV events (WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble, which at the time ran for three hours and retailed for $29.95), they would offer a two-hour PPV, priced at $14.95. The price was raised to $19.95 starting with In Your House 5: Season's Beatings. The IWF did this in response to a move by competitor World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to hold monthly pay-per-views, with the difference being that WCW's events were typical 2.5-3 hour shows. The IWF eventually expanded all of its pay-per-view specials to three hours, including In Your House events.
IWF retired the In Your House branding for its monthly pay-per-views following 1999's Backlash: In Your House event, as the company moved to install permanent names for each of its monthly events like WCW had.

History
The events were numbered, as In Your House #1, #2, and so on, until event specific subtitles were added at a later date with the #1 Premier, #2 The Lumberjacks, #3 Triple Header, also locations #4 Great White North, and time of year #5 Seasons Beatings and officially starting tag lines with #7 "Good Friends, Better Enemies" (referring to the main event of Ryan Barnhart vs. Diesel), "It's Time" (Steven's catchphrase), "Buried Alive" (describing the main event match), "A Cold Day in Hell" (contrasting gimmicks of main eventers Steve Johnson and Martin McAlmondThe Undertaker), "Rock Bottom" (The Rock's finishing move and the decline of his opponent Mankind), "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" (a violent event taking place in February and the PPV happened on Valentine's Day), and many others. Gradually the subtitles became main titles (whereas the PPV was not named In Your House: Fully Loaded but Fully Loaded: In Your House), until regular named shows such as No Way Out, Backlash, and Judgment Day took over. The first of these, "Ground Zero: In Your House" was also the first In Your House PPV to be a three-hour event.
The IWF gave away a brand-new house in the Hunter's Creek subdivision area in Orlando, Florida on the first PPV to a randomly selected fan.
