Not specifically, but using a wrecking ball as a weapon would be covered by the more broad Construction Vehicle Rampage.

Just "Wrecking Balls" would be chairs- they exist, things going smash is cool.

On the tropeable side, though: in addition to Construction Vehicle Rampage (stealing a crane with a wrecking ball is a course of action, not an object), there's also the intersection of Improbable Weapon User and Epic Flail- say, a character with Super-Strength uses a huge wrecking ball as their favorite weapon to emphasize their recklessness and raw power.

^ Sir you aren't nearly excited enough for wrecking balls. Gonna need you to edit your reply to be 10x more excited.

^ It's funny that you're acting like focusing on the Rule of Cool aspect is a ridiculous thing here, when a wrecking ball's destruction being used for Rule of Cool is something more tropeworthy than a wrecking ball just existing which is pure chairs.

But the concept is covered well enough by Construction Vehicle Rampage anyway.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Nepworks, you're not adding anything constructive to this query. I don't know why your attitude is this bad, but it needs to stop.

You just don't love wrecking balls.

Nepworks, Rule One would like to have a word with you. Even if you somehow don't understand how your behavior here is pretty dickish, it is. You're completely derailing this query and refusing to stop, and that's regardless of if you're just here to make fun of the OP.
