List of JCP/WCW closed-circuit events and pay-per-view events

< List of JCP

This is a list of all closed-circuit television and pay-per-view events held by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and its predecessor Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP).

From 1983 to 1987, these events aired live on closed-circuit television under the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) banner. Beginning in 1987, the events would air live on pay-per-view television. In November 1988, JCP sold its assets to the Turner Broadcasting System, which rebranded the company as World Championship Wrestling; they would later leave the NWA in 1991. In 1998 and early 1999, PPV events were promoted using the dual WCW/nWo brands.

In 2001, the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE) purchased the assets of WCW, including the video libraries of all previous NWA and WCW pay-per-views, and the ownership rights of the names of these events. To date WWE has only promoted one pay-per-view event using the name of a former WCW PPV, The Great American Bash, from 2004 until 2009. In 2012, it was rebooted as a live SmackDown special and in 2020, it was used as a two-week show as part of the NXT brand followed in 2021 by a special episode on one night. Also in 2020, the Halloween Havoc event name would be revived, once again as a special episode of NXT. In 2017, WWE revived the Starrcade name for a non-televised house show and then would show a portion of the 2018 and 2019 iterations of the event on the WWE Network. Both The Great American Bash and Halloween Havoc names would rotate between special episodes and live streaming events as WWE ceased airing NXT pay-per-views from 2022 and has aired solely on the WWE Network and Peacock.

Beginning in 2014, nearly all NWA and WCW pay-per-view events were made available on the WWE Network and Peacock.
