House Party - the third House Party professional wrestling supercard event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) - took place on January 10, 1998 in the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States.[1] Excerpts from House Party aired on episodes #247 and #248 of the syndicated television show ECW Hardcore TV on January 14 and 21, 1998, while the full event was later released on VHS and DVD.[2][3]

The main event of House Party, a Stairway to Hell match between Sabu and The Sandman, gained a degree of notoriety after Sabu sustained a broken jaw upon executing a plancha and inadvertently striking the guard rail with his chin. Sabu continue to wrestle for several minutes, at one point wrapping his heavily bleeding jaw in duct tape.[4][5] The event also featured the return of 2 Cold Scorpio to ECW for one night only.
