Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Created in 2012note It supposedly started on or around 5 November 2012 based on "End Game 5" being the one anniversary episode. This makes sense as WWE '13 was released in Europe on 2 November of that year. by the mysterious "Bazza McMahon" and continued after he stepped down by Twitch user TOH; utilizing WWE 2K19 (previously WWE '13, WWE 2K14, and WWE 2K17note The ongoing shows on the channel skipped 2K15 and 2K16 for many reasons, chief among them being the extremely limited options for CAWs compared to previous entries in the series as well as its lack of story creator. 2K17 added enough options back that the show creators decided to finagle solutions for plot even with the lack of an in-game story creator, such as Visual Novel engines like Ren Py and Novelty. Nowadays the series basically works on an every-other-game schedule due to the lengthy process of conversion between games) for the PlayStation 4, Video Game Championship Wrestling is, as the name suggests, a web series/electronic wrestling federation / CAW League about a wrestling league that features video game characters (and some characters and people from other media) as they fight each other and the many glitches and Artificial Stupidity found in WWE '13, 2K14, 2K17, & 2K19.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Of course, it's far more than that. Like "real" wrestling it is filled with storylines, rivalries and theatrics, but, unlike "real" wrestling, few if any of the fight results are actually scripted, leading to strange twists and upsets that would never happen in the real world. And, since the backgrounds and abilities of the characters don't necessarily transfer over into the ring, some very strange things can happen. A Saiyan can be a jobber, Raphael can be a heel, and Gabe Newell can fight (and in some cases win) a bout with Ganon. Yet through it all, those watching the broadcast (some live streams have had nearly 5,000 viewers) joke, commentate and even sometimes maintain a kayfabe seriousness about the whole thing. Sometimes.Over the course of the show's history, there have been eight shows within the VGCW universe:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Silent Protagonist: Characters such as Red and Chell who fit this trope in their games typically remain silent in VGCW as well. Some of them let their partner(s) do the talking if they're in a team or stable. | |

Season Finale | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_1484dba1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: As it turns out, the way to defeat Nightmare Gabe all along was by praying, as Gabe's good side had been secretly leaving hints whenever The Nightmare showed up. During the opening of the August 18 2015 Show, an explosion could be heard from off-screen, shaking the camera. Around half-an-hour later, The BLU Rogues crash into the Arena as a result of said explosion! All the mysterious events after the credits in Season 11, from bites out of the former Championship belts, to the Delphinus being attacked and later disappearing from existence, to the credits glitching up, are all a result of the GameShark, who makes it's presence known at the end of the Infinite Summer PPV. During VGCW Blood Money, Arino has a segment when he visits Dracula's castle where he plays a Metroid game with Simon Belmont. Though it originally seemed like a playful joke on Metroidvania at the time, it ends up meaning a whole lot more later when it turns out two shows later he has to fight a debuting Ridley. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Nappa announced his plans to find the Dragon Balls and get a wish rather loudly, as well as his hopes that nobody was listening in on him, and his self-assurance that nobody would take one of the many spare Dragon Radars he was leaving in his locker. Needless to say, almost everyone heard, even teams who weren't even nearby. Despite losing at Breakdown F.I.V.E. to Terra, Gruntilda still boasted that she had her beauty & power. Terra then proceeded to deliver a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to beat the beauty out of her until she exploded, dispelling all of the beauty stored within her, and returned her to her old form as a result. | |

Kayfabe | |

Kayfabe: More a case of the audience having it than the participants, who are of course only AI-controlled fictional characters. A good example of this was when everybody acted surprised when Mr. L turned out to be a hypnotized Luigi. Audience kayfabe is at its most noticible whenever Octodad shows up. | |

The Heavy | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_1badfbbb | comment |
The Heavy: Not to be mistaken with the Wrestler of the same name. Phoenix Wrong, the evil alternate universe Phoenix who served as the villain for Season 6. He was the one who manipulated Phoenix back in Season 4 into panicking during his inadvertent time travel trip, which caused the Stable Time Loop that forced Bazza to hypnotize Luigi and play the villain without anyone knowing, which made Season 2 Phoenix arrest him, which left the GM position open, which allowed Dracula to seize the position during Season 3 and 4, during which he corrupted Vegeta before Vegeta made his Heroic Sacrifice, which caused Nappa to start hunting for the Dragon Balls to revive him and causing the plot of Season 5. Add in him taking his direct role in Season 6, and Phoenix Wrong was directly responsible for every important event in VGCW since the end of Season 1. | |

The Voice | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_1c77ec26 | comment |
It gets even more confusing: Snake wasn't aware that Phoenix Wright was hiding in Mac's locker room before the time travel happened, and was thus sent back along with them. He goes to the parking lot to see the crime in action when he realizes where and when he is... and upon arriving, he's told by a mysterious voice about the dangers of time travel and how he's not supposed to be there. He's told to use "his" car, and so Phoenix does so he doesn't affect the timeline... hitting Little Mac on the way out. Yes, Phoenix Wright hit Mac, all because he was trying to prevent a Temporal Paradox himself. Even Snake was surprised, not knowing that the Phoenix they saw "talking to himself" in the parking lot was the PRESENT one... and he's not happy about being stuck in the past for five months. | |

The Slow Path | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_1c7a7a52 | comment |
"The Caller", who was built up to be a malicious character, was actually Solid Snake taking The Slow Path back through time, only intervening when necessary to prevent Temporal Paradox shenanigans. It Makes Sense in Context. | |

Aborted Arc: The light-switcher offer plot (where the lights went out during Gabe's matches to make it look like he was fixing them) got dropped soon after the arrival of the Disciplinary Committee. A Q&A broadcast revealed that the culprit would have been Adam Jensen. Many of VGCW: ARENA's various plot threads were abruptly resolved or left unfinished due to the shutdown of 2K14's servers. | |

Ascended Glitch | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_26ba32a3 | comment |
Ascended Glitch: An exploit in WWE '13 that made it possible to create incredibly overpowered finishing moves was turned into a plot point when Donkey Kong, Bowser, and Proto Man were revealed to have utilized "glitch finishers". Donkey Kong was suspended as a result; in addition, their wronged opponents (Charles Barkley, Ganondorf, and Dr. Wily) plus number one contender Gabe Newell were scheduled for a Fatal Four Way match to determine the true champion. Later on, Terra Glitch Bombed her way to the Gurl Gamer Championship. Despite her massive face status entering the match, this did not sit well with the chat. The Glitch Bomb reared it's ugly head once again over two years later at End Game X1, with both Break Man and a GameShark-infested WWE '13 Donkey Kong. | |

Gender Bender | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_2d88e42c | comment |
Gender Bender: Robin in EDBW, though not the original intention. She was brought in just to be a female wrestler, but Dudebro accidentally added Male!Robin to a Royal Rumble shortly after Fem!Robin's debut. Since then, Dudebro has portrayed Robin as a character that can shift genders at will, with interesting consequences. After a convincing victory while female, Robin won the Hardcore Championship as a male, then defended it the next episode against Edea Lee (as Fem!Robin, of course)! This was later explained in-canon to be as a result of a Paradox, meaning that Robin can end up switching from Male to Female at any time. | |

Lethal Joke Character: Dan Hibiki and Mr. Satan, who used to tag team as Raw Power. They were the Co-Op Champions for a while. During his tenure in the company, Tingle was extremely effeminate and flamboyant... until the bell rang, at which point he proved to be one of the most aggressive wrestlers in the fed. The Dragons. Outside the ring they are a couple of none-too-bright martial artists who try to act "gangsta" like to pick up the ladies. In the ring, they are a tag team machine that have put up Five-Star quality matches against some of the best teams in the Co-Op Division, later winning the belts and hanging onto them for nearly a year. | |

Bad Boss | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Baz, again. Or so it seemed... Whether or not Dracula can be considered one has been up for debate, as he was often very fair towards the majority of the roster (The exception being Vamphound of course). Played straight with Gary, in particular against Illidan & Red, and has put the two up against increasingly difficult situations to overcome, even preventing them from entering the Royal Rumble in Season 11. It was also widely accepted that Gary was the one who fired Ness, all in an attempt to get to Red. As expected, this backfired on Gary when the two united to get revenge on him and Armstrong. And now he's trying to pull the same trick with King Vegeta & his Royal Court. Granted, Vegeta's trying to take his spot, but whether that justifies Gary's actions is up for interpretation. Played straight with the majority of WVGCW's General Managers. Monokuma is this for EDBW, exemplified in Season 5 when he locked up the EDBW arena with everyone inside. Depending on interpretation, Simon Belmont is this for BWA. | |

Then Let Me Be Evil: It's heavily implied that all the boos and hatred he received from the fans after eliminating fan favorite Ash Ketchum in a Royal Rumble is what eventually led to Dan Hibiki's actual Face–Heel Turn. Proto Man's Heel-Turn when all throughout Season 8, he tried and failed to defeat the robot masters and was jeered by the fanbase and dismissed by Gabe leaving him to decide there are no heroes left in man. | |

Take That, Audience!: After the massive fan backlash over his latest title win, Barkley proceeds to call out the crowd on this, arguing that he has earned every single one of his title shots like everyone else on the roster, as well as pointing out how often the crowd tends to turn against wrestlers just because of their success or exposure, and that he won't be bullied into the midcard because of it. Barkley even quotes CM Punk's famous Pipe Bomb promo by saying "Oops, I'm breaking the fourth wall." | |

| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In Season 11 as a result of the constant disasters and world-ending threats taking place, the British government ends up sanctioning VGCW which was headquartered in London, forcing Gary to move the show to an undisclosed tropical island. note This alludes to Bazza, who resides in the UK, transitioning showrunner duties to TOH who lives in America | |

For the Female Division, Season 1 did not have a main antagonist until the end where Carmen Sandiego with the aid of Mavis Beacon and Dr. Gero had Bryn McMahon arrested and took control of the show. Later seasons have fluctuated between the New Witch Order and Samus Aran, until we finally got a clear Big Bad in Season 6 in the form of GLaDOS. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Duke's feud with Ganondorf throughout Season 6 finally culminated with him defeating the Dark Lord in an "I Quit" match, only to be betrayed by his friend and partner Guile after the match had ended. The ending of Season 10 and by extension the Bazza Era Jensen is finally able to destroy Nightmare Gabe with the aid of the VGCW Universe, but is forced to kill Gabe in the process as he confides to Snake that he indeed considered Gabe to be his best friend. Season 11: Segata and Octodad manage to stop the GameShark and Break Man's attempt to usurp its power for himself. However to ensure the GameShark cannot escape, Segata elects to engage the entity in eternal combat leaving him trapped in its dimension for the time being. Though defeated, Break Man is still on the loose and forming new plans, Armstrong is preparing a coup against Gary and M. Bison, the real mastermind behind the GameShark, is preparing to make his move against VGCW, and is bringing both Asura and Blood Falcon along as his minions. | |

At least, that's what was promised... | |

Dracula arrives too late to prevent this as he states "The nightmare is here" before proceeding to the closing credits, this time cut with a visage of Nightmare Gabe in a field of flame. | |

Wham Line: Season 11 had been dealing with the mystery of a GameShark that had been hacking the show and altering so much of it over the course of a season. One has to wonder why it was there in the first place. Then, during a King of the Beach tournament, a series of mysterious codes start appearing in between matches. Codes, as in numbers. Numbers, as in math. And it all starts to make sense once Transformation starts playing in that episode's Stinger. Season 12 had it's own one of these in the penultimate episode. It was only one word, but it was enough to shake everything we thought we knew about the storyline to it's core. | |

Invincible Hero: Averted; while some wrestlers are more dominant than others, the nature of WWE '13/2K14's variance means that no one wrestler can ever fall into either category. Even the biggest badasses in VGCW, such as Ganondorf, lose from time to time. An exception to this was Scorpion, who had his moment as this during his VGCW title reign. While he did lose in non-title matches during his reign, his eleven month long title reign is a feat that may never be duplicated. | |

Bookends | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_5313c266 | comment |
Bookends: An unintentional example: the first broadcast of Season 2 has Raphael's victory in his title match against Snake, starting the infamous 1000 Years of Pizza. The final broadcast of Season 2 has Raphael losing his title match against Ganon, ending the 1000 Years of Pizza. The Red/Scorpion matchup at End Game 5 happened because Red's career took a serious downturn after losing the Casual Championship. After that match ended in a draw, Scorpion's career took off all the way to the longest VGCW Championship reign yet. Red took a slower path back up but still won a belt in his own right (the Co-Op Championship with Ness). As a result of the season 9 Royal Rumble, and at End Game 9, the two clashed to settle their draw, and the VGCW Championship was on the line. Scorpion stood victorous, finally proving who was the best. A similar encounter took place three seasons later at End Game X2, with Phoenix Wright facing his old foe Dracula for the fourth time, this time with the VGCW Championship on the line. Unlike the previous example, the underdog actually won. | |

Enemy Mine | |

Enemy Mine: Some tag teams, such as Gerudo Skies and Ghost Trick, were formed not so much because the characters had something in common so much as they had an enemy or cause in common. An example is Great Tournament finalists Adam Jensen and Gabe Newell, who were only a tag team because of their mutual hatred of Dracula. Red & Illidan Stormrage later invoked this trope, uniting under the banner of Shadow Ball Valley to get revenge on Gary Oak & Senator Armstrong respectively. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Majin Vegeta turned on his master Dracula and blew himself up in an attempt to defeat Dracula. It failed. Segata Sanshiro gave up his freedom to eternally battle the GameShark in the Sea of Data. When VGCW returned to the island that had been the setting for Season 11 the following season however, the GameShark once again caused havoc, leading many to believe that Segata failed. He didn't. Captain Falcon released one final Falcon Punch to destroy M. Bison for good, taking his own life in the process. | |

He's also the only wrestler other than Air Man with Proto Man to kill a wrestler (Gray Fox) on-screen, and unlike Proto Man, Fox's death is permanent. | |

The Reveal | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: There was a lot more to Little Mac being run down than a Big Bad performing a Heel–Face Door-Slam. Warning: read the spoilers below at your own risk. Using the power of a Chaos Emerald, Snake travels back in time with the newly-recovered Little Mac in tow to see who hit him. As it turns out, Baz McMahon had nothing to do with it; at first he is merely there to berate Mac verbally for not beating down Zangief and not at all believing the Time Travel stuff... and is quite speechless when the past Little Mac shows up in the parking lot and is run down right in front of his eyes. As the future Mac and Snake weren't supposed to be seen, Snake decides to work with Baz to prevent a Temporal Paradox by taking The Slow Path, while sending Mac back where he belongs. It gets even more confusing: Snake wasn't aware that Phoenix Wright was hiding in Mac's locker room before the time travel happened, and was thus sent back along with them. He goes to the parking lot to see the crime in action when he realizes where and when he is... and upon arriving, he's told by a mysterious voice about the dangers of time travel and how he's not supposed to be there. He's told to use "his" car, and so Phoenix does so he doesn't affect the timeline... hitting Little Mac on the way out. Yes, Phoenix Wright hit Mac, all because he was trying to prevent a Temporal Paradox himself. Even Snake was surprised, not knowing that the Phoenix they saw "talking to himself" in the parking lot was the PRESENT one... and he's not happy about being stuck in the past for five months. But, as it turns out, that's not the "wright" Phoenix Wright. You see, original!Phoenix Wright, the one who got thrown back into the past, was indeed very upset, and did want revenge...but only wanted to beat up Snake and Mac a little bit. The other Phoenix Wrights were summoned by him with Sonic's Chaos Emerald in order to do so. Unfortunately, original!Phoenix Wright summoned a time traveling Phoenix Wright from an alternate VGCW universe (in which he is not a lawyer, and is incredibly ripped, and does this sound familiar?) who wants to kill every single copy of Solid Snake in existence, because he's tired of going to universes where everything changes except Snake and Mac leaving Phoenix in the past. When original!Wright logically refused, the other Phoenixs beat him up and threw him into a basement. Come End Game 6, and original!Wright returns to defeat his time-traveling duplicates with the help of Solid Snake and Gray Fox. Which finally ties up all the loose ends...for now. | |

All-American Face: Guile and to a lesser extent Duke Nukem. When they fought each other, Bazza played Rick Derringer's "Real American" as background music for the fight. They were once teamed up as Team America until Guile's heel turn at End Game 6. | |

| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_76788531 | comment |
But, as it turns out, that's not the "wright" Phoenix Wright. You see, original!Phoenix Wright, the one who got thrown back into the past, was indeed very upset, and did want revenge...but only wanted to beat up Snake and Mac a little bit. The other Phoenix Wrights were summoned by him with Sonic's Chaos Emerald in order to do so. Unfortunately, original!Phoenix Wright summoned a time traveling Phoenix Wright from an alternate VGCW universe (in which he is not a lawyer, and is incredibly ripped, and does this sound familiar?) who wants to kill every single copy of Solid Snake in existence, because he's tired of going to universes where everything changes except Snake and Mac leaving Phoenix in the past. When original!Wright logically refused, the other Phoenixs beat him up and threw him into a basement. Come End Game 6, and original!Wright returns to defeat his time-traveling duplicates with the help of Solid Snake and Gray Fox. Which finally ties up all the loose ends...for now. | |

Real Life Writes the Plot | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: There was little to no actual plot until everyone accused Bazza of screwing Zangief and allowing Little Mac to win the Money in the Bank match. Bazza created the "Baz McMahon" character and started to include plot scenes as a result to show the repercussions of this in the 'VGCW'' Universe. The Game Grumps and their heel turn apparently were at least partially-inspired by the fact that Bazza didn't like their web series as much anymore. JonTron leaving the series was pretty much the rest of it; however, since then, ARENA player Clevelandrock helped team the Grumps back up in ARENA and BWA when both shows were active, even bringing Danny Sexbang onboard as a Wrestler in the latter. | |

Grandfather Clause | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_7b74adb2 | comment |
Grandfather Clause: Related to the the above Early Installment Weirdness, some characters such as Gabe Newell, The Angry Video Game Nerd were, for a long time, staples of the VGCW, despite Bazza saying that he, in the future, would like to try and avoid having real people or Internet personalities. (e.g. He has said Reggie Fils-Aime won't be joining anytime soon.) Video game versions of real people, such as Charles Barkley, are allowed. The Game Grumps used to have this until Bazza decided to retire JonTron and Egoraptor, though they later reappeared in ARENA & BWA respectively. A similar clause exists for characters from other media, such as those from Dragon Ball, although some claim that they can be included because they have been featured in plenty of video games. Shinya Arino seems to be the sole exception to this rule, as he is too beloved by the VGCW Universe to be let go. | |

The Badman is Back from the Dead. So is Dracula. Hope rides again, as Proto Man is back! Dante is back, just not the one you expected though... After being thought trapped fighting the GameShark forever, Segata Sanshiro returned in Season 13, proclaiming to have vanquished the beast! On the women's side, Ivy is back in Season 7! And she's not pulling any punches to get to that title. | |

Signature Style | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_831164fe | comment |
Signature Style: While the majority of matches are standard one-fall matches (singles or tag team), Bazza also booked a lot of Extreme Rules Falls Count Anywhere matches, which has rubbed off on some of the other shows. Bryn is a big fan of the Two out of Three Falls stipulation (especially when a championship is on the line), and even named Breakdown 2/3 as such because of the concentration of such matches on the card. Across all the shows, Triple Threat and Fatal Four-Way matches have tended to be elimination matches as well. | |

Drinking Game | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_899cc5c1 | comment |
Drinking Game: There's a semi-official one in the chat: Drink whenever anyone asks if the show is going to move to 2K15 or 2K16.note VGCW can't move on to 2k15 because it lacks many features that are integral to the show itself: namely, a story creator, a good amount of CAW slots, create-a-diva, create-a-championship, and much more. However, people who don't get this assume that newer game equals a better game, so some people in the chat ask this. Everyone drinks and then explains why. 2K16 and subsequent future releases fixes a lot of the problems, but unfortunately still doesn't have story creator, meaning that it can't move on to that game either. WVGCW and BWA will eventually get put on 2K17 breaking this trend, but it's going to happen late enough that 2K18 will inevitably come out not long after which will begin the cycle anew. Another semi-official example would be whenever the chat asked when Doomguy would be debuting on the roster, a question which would inadvertently delay his debut by a further period of time. He finally debuted in VGCW at the very end of End Game X3, when the feed was cut mid-sentence. | |

The Bus Came Back: Mario's return at the end of Season 2 from his unexplained disappearance. He later left again, only to return later as the VGCW's official doctor. Little Mac near the end of Season 4. He later retired from active competition in Season 10 to go and train the stars of EDBW, being given a Legends Contract. Sabin made a one-time reappearance in the first 40-man Royal Rumble in months on 23 August 2013 and almost won. He came back for real the week before Endgame 8 to accept Gary Oak's challenge to the wrestlers to fight Illidan. He was the third to defeat Illidan in singles, after Scorpion (with Gary getting in the way), and Barret (with Flint's help to counter Gary), and the first to defeat Illidan without Gary getting in the way (in a singles match). A true Returner. His return was made even more epic when he gained the VGCW Championship at End Game X. Dracula rose from the dead in the beginning of Season 6. Ness came back in Season 7, and at End Game 7, beat Red, avenging the loss that got him fired originally. However, he was eventually fired again after he and Red lost the Co-Op titles at End Game 9, though he later reappeared back in EDBW less than six months later. Dante came back early into Season 9, after Travis called his time in EDBW as nothing more than a stepping stone. Segata Sanshiro returned to the real world after supposedly vanquishing the GameShark just over a year after his supposed last appearance. | |

Theme Song Reveal: Happens on occasion in the WrestleMania-esque End Game episodes: End Game 6 featured Fall Out Boy's "The Phoenix", and concluded with The Reveal that the Phoenix Wright fans had been watching for about half of the season was actually an alternate universe version determined to get revenge on Solid Snake, only to have the scheme foiled by the reappearance of the "real" Phoenix Wright. "Change you like a remix", indeed. End Game 8 opened to the song Monster by Imagine Dragons, and ended with Gabe Newell being revealed to have a Superpowered Evil Side. | |

Big Bad | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Baz McMahon for Seasons 1 & 2, though he was later usurped from his position as the Big Bad by Mr. L after his arrest. We later discovered that he was Good All Along. Dracula was this for Seasons 3 & 4. Ultimately, Kefka Palazzo became this by the end of Season 5; though he wasn't seen in the hunt for the Dragon Balls, it was heavily implied that he was watching from behind the scenes. For Season 6 it was Phoenix Wright, or more specifically, a Phoenix Wright from an alternate universe. While 'Phoenix Wrong' only served as a villain primarily in Season 6, his actions in manipulating Phoenix-Prime more or less caused every single important event in VGCW after the Little McMahon Saga until Season 6 concluded. Season 8's main antagonists were split between Soldier Black and The Practice. Season 11's main antagonist was the GameShark Season 12's main antagonist is M. Bison leading a reformed Shadaloo, made up of himself, Blood Falcon, Asura, and later Flint to challenge VGCW and determine who is the strongest amongst them. However, as the Season progressed, it was revealed that Senator Armstrong (And in turn the entirety of the Sons of The Patriots) was the one pulling the strings behind Shadaloo's operations. Seasons 1 & 2 of WVGCW had Carmen Sandiego taking over the company and attempting to embezzle it's funding. Seasons 3, 4 & 5 had the New Witch Order causing havoc unless they got what they wanted. Season 6 & 7 was GlaDOs attempting to take over WVGCW so she could continue her testing. After she is defeated, she quietly vanishes, but later resurfaces late in Season 7, revealing to have Still Alive under her control via blackmail, and isn't going to be discreet about her goals; she wants WVGCW, and she'll do anything to get it. And maybe even more if certain scenes are to be believed. Monokuma acted as this for Season 5 of EDBW by locking everyone inside the building and threatening them with their lives unless they continue wrestling. When the employees try to bust out by force, he shot the entire arena into deep space! | |

Greater-Scope Villain | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: In Season 7, 'Boss Red', the leader of the Ring Rangers. At End Game 7, it was revealed that he was being manipulated by 'Soldier Black', aka Guile. Season 9 & 10's main antagonist was Nightmare Gabe. If Season 11's Stinger is any indication, M. Bison may be this for Season 11 & 12. Senator Armstrong & the Sons of the Patriots were pulling the strings behind M. Bison and Shadaloo all along in Season 12. For the Female Division, Season 1 did not have a main antagonist until the end where Carmen Sandiego with the aid of Mavis Beacon and Dr. Gero had Bryn McMahon arrested and took control of the show. Later seasons have fluctuated between the New Witch Order and Samus Aran, until we finally got a clear Big Bad in Season 6 in the form of GLaDOS. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Ash Ketchum, who went from fighting for his job in an "I Quit" match to earning the respect of the VGCW fans by showing a vast improvement in his skills, defeating longtime rival Gary Oak in a brutal match, being one of the final two in a Royal Rumble, dominating a six-man elimination match to get a shot at the Casual championship, and then defeating Guile for that very championship four days later in the fastest title match in VGCW history. And then, at the end of it, he began evolving, eventually turning into Red. Vegeta during the "Badman Saga", and even more so during the "Majin Vegeta Saga". Barret Wallace. Before Season 4 began, his only win had been against Gary Oak. Ever since, he has come in second in a Royal Rumble (eliminating Guile, Arino, and Dr. Eggman before finally being eliminated himself), put up a hell of a fight in a losing effort in a handicap match against Dr. Wily and Dr. Eggman, completely dominated a Fatal Four Way match (pinning all three of his opponents!), and later completely destroying three-time VGCW Champion Charles Barkley. Captain Falcon was seen as a mediocre wrestler for a long while, especially since most of his singles matches were against Protoman, who humiliated him every time, even after the Glitch Bomb was stripped from him. He acquitted himself quite well against Red, managing to win by count-out after spearing him through the barricade. He didn't win the belt because of it, but most people think he was just proving a point about his ability. He did so well against Red that he got a rematch the next week, with an opportunity for another Casual Championship match on the line. In that match, he pinned Red! After Season 5, Kefka fell into a long period of jobbing, yet his popularity managed to skyrocket due to his Kefka's Korner segments. It was enough that he got voted into the main event of the Chamber of Elimination PPV by the fans, despite few if any giving him much of a chance against his more established competitors. In the main event, he managed to pin Ezio, Phoenix and Dracula, while being one of the starting two entrants, normally a disadvantage in a chamber match, and goes on to win the match after hitting the Son of a Sandworm on Dracula, scoring a title shot against Scorpion, but lost. He eventually seized the Casual Championship. Gary was the league's biggest jobber for the longest time, taking six months to get a single win in his entire career and getting an impressively bad 1-13-0 record by the end of Season 8. When he got voted into The Great Tournament II Turbo, he suddenly started trying and managed to get into the tournament finals, beating longstanding top carders M. Bison and Baz McMahon to get there. He eventually even won the tournament, beating Duke Nukem. Ezio for a long time was considered a jobber, despite often coming very close to winning against his opponents. Since the start of Season 11 however, he stepped it up heavily, going undefeated for a large amount of the season and even pinning both Dante & Nappa in a Triple Threat! A long cry to his days as a jobber. Chie Satonaka's entire career has seen her take multiple levels of Badassery; originally a Jobber, she managed to work her way up to becoming the inaugural Casualette Champion at Breakdown 2/3, and then manage to leap even further into Badass by winning the first ever Women's Royal Rumble at Breakdown 06, culminating at the Chamber of Elimination PPV the following Season, where she pinned Cate Archer clean to achieve the Girlhood Dream and become the WVGCW Champion. AND she's defended it twice, something only two other women can claim to have done. | |

Interface Spoiler: The pre-match screens in WWE '13 are not subtle about showing off when there's going to be a branch in the plot, and a viewer with even a single broadcast's experience will know when Bazza purposely hides the loading screen, tipping everyone off that something is about to go down. Fortunately, Bazza learned how to avert this by making plot branches that both lead to the exact same cutscene. Naturally, he uses this to play with the audience. | |

Leitmotif | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_9dacc566 | comment |
Leit Motif: Everyone has a theme associated with their entrance/victory, but also even for cutscenes involving them. Some tunes will only play if a specific character is wrestling; for instance, if Segata Sanshiro is wrestling, usually music from Burning Rangers will play. A special version of Burning Hearts played for Segata at End Game X1 while he was battling the GameShark-possessed DK. | |

Defeating the Undefeatable: For a time, Ayla had only two losses period in WVGCW: both to Chell, and the second was for the Gurl Gamer Championship! This also proved true for Scorpion's reign as VGCW Champion, as over time, Scorpion broke all records, meaning the one who did finally defeat him would be doing this. Nappa would be the one to do the impossible, via cashing in Money In The Bank. | |

Barret Wallace. Before Season 4 began, his only win had been against Gary Oak. Ever since, he has come in second in a Royal Rumble (eliminating Guile, Arino, and Dr. Eggman before finally being eliminated himself), put up a hell of a fight in a losing effort in a handicap match against Dr. Wily and Dr. Eggman, completely dominated a Fatal Four Way match (pinning all three of his opponents!), and later completely destroying three-time VGCW Champion Charles Barkley. | |

Thanks to some Mickey Mousing from the soundtrack, Toejam and Earl's "Funk Tag" could class as this. Picture the scene: having had a lacklustre record throughout Seasons 8 and 9 (despite winning their debut), they decided to reinvent themselves (updated outfits and moveset) for Season 10 and, in the first episode, went up against the Birds Of Prey (Ezio Auditore and Captain Falcon). Not only did Toejam manage to pull off a complete Hot Tag (a rare occurrence in VGCW), but ''Lewanda's Love'' cuts in right as Earl gets his hand slapped. Of course TJ&E went on to win! | |

Omnicidal Maniac: Phoenix Wrong's goal was to find and murder every single Solid Snake & Gray Fox in existence until he found a universe where Snake doesn't leave Phoenix stranded in the past. Nightmare Gabe was going to kill every single living being on Earth unless he could be defeated. It's very possible the GameShark would've corrupted the Save Data if it was allowed to continue, effectively making it this trope. | |

Mondegreen: Michael Cole's line, "Missed her target," is often mistaken by the chat to be "Mr. Target", as well as an exclamation "Dear lord!" being turned into "Deer Lord". The chat parodies a similar line by Jerry Lawler, "Missed him," with the name "Miss Dim". For EDBW, "Vegeta's not dead" instead of "The Cheat is not dead," from Strong Bad's song of the same name. | |

Assimilation Plot | |

Assimilation Plot: One plot development in VGCW: ARENA was Hatsune Miku attempting to assimilate the rest of the ARENA roster in hostile fashion. It shifted from being Played for Laughs to Played for Drama, but usually the former. And what was Miku's motivation for this? To recreate the greatest era in wrestling...Year 2000 WCW. This angle would quickly be brought to it's conclusion during ARENA's Series Finale, but some aspects could be found in it's successor, BWA. | |

Obvious Rule Patch | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_b89ed08a | comment |
Obvious Rule Patch: Due to certain shortcomings in the video game programming, the shows have patched the way Elimination Chamber and Royal Rumble matches work: Elimination Chamber matches fail to randomize the entrance order of the six wrestlers, so the wrestlers are often seeded through a series of three Beat the Clock matches. The two wrestlers who lose the quickest enter the Chamber match first, followed by the longest lasting loser, then the three winners in order from longest winning time to quickest. Other times, the entrance order has been simply been picked randomly by a computer and posted on video. In the video games, Royal Rumbles cannot be handicapped to allow early entrants to last the whole Rumble (or guarantee quick elimination to jobbers), as is often planned in WWE. Since the showrunners have no control over the entry order, they have adapted other rules to make the Rumble more fair for earlier entrants, the most common being the Rumble survivor facing off against the entrant who scored the most eliminations. | |

Demoted to Extra: Due to the large cast, there are some characters that basically only show up in Royal Rumbles or Tag Team matches. A good example is Bowser, who went from being the one who finally overthrew Ganondorf's "1000 Years of Darkness" reign as champion to being an afterthought for a while. Other aren't even that lucky and get Put on a Bus. | |

Jump Scare: An unintended one on Bazza's part on 17 December 2013 during the second match of the night (Phoenix Wright versus Adam Jensen) when he clicked on a link in the chat. Said link was a Screamer Prank whose shrill noise could be heard by those watching the stream, which resulted in an immediate flood of complaints from the chat. The fact that Phoenix was still haunted by those voices in his head at the time, won the match a minute later had nothing to do with this. | |

B Show | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_c2c4e3ba | comment |
B Show: The Female Division used to be only used as a warm-up, but after Bryn took over it started to get the attention it deserves, and with VGCW ending, it has, by default, become the "Main Show" perse. In addition, the "Casual Championship" originally existed to fill time while showcasing some of the middle-of-the-road characters, although it was still appreciated for it's entertainment value and for the fact it sometimes showcased up-and-coming fighters who simply hadn't had their big shot yet. In light of Red's amazing run with the belt, however, many considered it for a long time to be just as prestigious as the VGCW title. VGCW at Home, where TheTOH played The Sims 3 with various members of the VGCW living in the same house. SNST and its successor EDBW are also the non-canon developmental leagues for VGCW, though EDBW later became fully canon. VGCW: ARENA and it's successor BWA was this, but became canon quickly afterwards after appearances from various BWA personnel on the main show. | |

Wrestling Doesn't Pay: Assuming all the characters still are holding their usual jobs. It was later revealed that the wrestlers do in fact get paid, though how much said payments are remains to be seen. Inverted by the Gameshark in Season 11. By hacking into Wario's coin total (his "bank balance") and setting the value to infinity (see also: almost filling the screen with numbers!), it completely wiped out the villain's sole motivation for staying a part of the VGCW roster, causing him to leave Waluigi in the middle of the ring. | |

Breakup Breakout | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_ca49d764 | comment |
Breakup Breakout: Played with in regards to Raw Power. Mr. Satan initially had all the fans goodwill after being betrayed by Dan and playing a major role in Dracula's downfall in Season 4, even declaring his goal of capturing the VGCW title. However, a pair of crushing defeats to the Angry Video Game Nerd ultimately killed his momentum and kept him languishing in the midcard. After being unmasked as Hero Yellow of the Ring Rangers, Satan decided to retire from active competition to manage Videl's career in the women's division. Dan meanwhile managed to work his way back into the fans good graces after forming the P.R.A.T.S. stable alongside the Lee Brothers in Season 7 and putting on some pretty good matches, finally executing a full on face turn when he saved Mr. Satan from becoming roboticized by the Practice during his retirement address. He then went on to be one of only two wrestlers to win the Casual Championship twice! Played straight with Team Light, Proto Man has gone on to become a two-time VGCW Champion & Co-Op Champion, while his partner Mega Man was unceremoniously cut from the roster. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_cc4d190a | comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Happens on a regular basis, considering the number of prominent villainous characters on the roster. Provided they're not kicking ass like usual of course. Hilariously inverted in one match where Octodad, a Cthulhumanoid, beats Ganondorf. | |

Killed Off for Real: Woody, Gray Fox, Gabe Newell, Guile, Goemon, Captain Falcon, M. Bison, Blood Falcon, and Chun-Li. Guile & Goemon miraculously recovered after Bison's defeat at End Game X2 however. Depending on different interpretations, Segata Sanshiro sacrificed his life to destroy the GameShark at End Game X1. This later proved to be false, as he returned to the real world two seasons later. | |

| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_cf64a80d | comment |
Hostile Show Takeover: Dracula performed this at the end of Season 3 by having the final of the GM Tournament interrupted and taking the position of General Manager for himself. Senator Armstrong seems to be ready to take matters into his own hands by usurping Gary in the near future. The 6/27/14 broadcast of WVGCW has Samus take complete control of the show due to the Saint's recent disappearance, to the extent that she replaced the Third Street Saints' trademark purple and fleur-de-lis for the red and orange colors of Samus' Varia Suit and the Metroid series logo. | |

| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: The Ring Rangers, with the exception of Soldier Black, consisted of midcarders that had grown frustrated with the top card being occupied by Gabe, Ganon and the other established veterans, and their actions were primarily an attempt to open up more opportunities for other wrestlers in the midcard. When the "King of the Midcard" Scorpion finally won the VGCW championship at End Game 7, three of the rangers (Satan, Groose and Octodad) came out on stage to celebrate his accomplishment. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Gabe Newell's finisher was, for the longest time, a bear hug, the simplest of submission holds. It was considered one of the most terrifying finishers in VGCW due to it being one of the few submission moves that were actually effective in WWE 13/2K14. | |

Rescued from the Scrappy Heap | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_d212ac8b | comment |
Played with in regards to Raw Power. Mr. Satan initially had all the fans goodwill after being betrayed by Dan and playing a major role in Dracula's downfall in Season 4, even declaring his goal of capturing the VGCW title. However, a pair of crushing defeats to the Angry Video Game Nerd ultimately killed his momentum and kept him languishing in the midcard. After being unmasked as Hero Yellow of the Ring Rangers, Satan decided to retire from active competition to manage Videl's career in the women's division. Dan meanwhile managed to work his way back into the fans good graces after forming the P.R.A.T.S. stable alongside the Lee Brothers in Season 7 and putting on some pretty good matches, finally executing a full on face turn when he saved Mr. Satan from becoming roboticized by the Practice during his retirement address. He then went on to be one of only two wrestlers to win the Casual Championship twice! | |

Now they're used once a season, usually during a PPV. It's even bigger when you include the WVGCW, EDBW, and BWA Wrestlers respectively, as well as the special guests. | |

Caps Lock: You'll very rarely find anyone in the chat for the series that isn't typing in this, unless they're in Shadow Chat mode; this simulates an actual pro wrestling crowd. Two Best Friends Play once joked during one of their discussions of the show that the creators probably ban anyone who isn't typing in all caps (they don't, but people get peer pressured into doing it anyway, all in good fun of course). | |

| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Little Mac getting run over was only due to a horrible run of luck on his and Phoenix Wright's part, rather than an outright Heel–Face Door-Slam. "The Caller", who was built up to be a malicious character, was actually Solid Snake taking The Slow Path back through time, only intervening when necessary to prevent Temporal Paradox shenanigans. It Makes Sense in Context. Rain appeared in the season 6 opening video, fighting Ganondorf. Much like his appearance in the Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 attract video, Rain is not an actual character in the show and was likely put there as a reference to his original joke appearance. | |

ThemeSongPowerUp | |
| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_e4ad6a07 | comment |
Theme Song Power Up: Subverted in the final match of season 3 as Dan gatecrashed the match in spite of the instrumental version of "Tonight" playing. Played straight in the match between Gary Oak and Groose. Thanks to some Mickey Mousing from the soundtrack, Toejam and Earl's "Funk Tag" could class as this. Picture the scene: having had a lacklustre record throughout Seasons 8 and 9 (despite winning their debut), they decided to reinvent themselves (updated outfits and moveset) for Season 10 and, in the first episode, went up against the Birds Of Prey (Ezio Auditore and Captain Falcon). Not only did Toejam manage to pull off a complete Hot Tag (a rare occurrence in VGCW), but ''Lewanda's Love'' cuts in right as Earl gets his hand slapped. Of course TJ&E went on to win! | |

Down to the Last Play | |

Down to the Last Play: Red vs. Scorpion at "End Game 5". Scorpion gets a pin at the last second to eke out a 5-5 draw, so while it wasn't for the win, Scorpion is still able to avoid a loss to the resurgent Red. This happens to Scorpion again—down 10-8 against Dracula in the last minute of a 30-minute Inferno Iron Man match, he gets two pins to pull off a 10-10 draw and retain the belt! Happens yet again in an Iron Man match, this time at End Game X between Senator Armstrong and Illidan. Down 8-7, Senator Armstrong uses a Sig/Finisher combo during the last minute of the match to score the points needed to win with only 3 seconds left on the clock. | |

Determinator: Red proved himself to be one during his title defense against Wario. Despite being hit with five finishing moves by his opponent, Red still managed to hold out long enough to win. Happened again in the Season 4 premiere after beating Dan Hibiki to retain his title. After the match, Vegeta and Kefka showed up to join Dan in a 3-on-1 No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. Red, however, kept fighting insurmountable odds for far longer than he had any right to be put through before finally being knocked out. | |

| Video Game Championship Wrestling (Machinima) / int_e68b72 | comment |
The Load: A few of the tag teams have one. Dan for Raw Power, who even outright jumped off the ropes to keep Mr. Satan from tagging him in a few times. Vegeta was this for The Saiyans, until he became the Badman. Egoraptor wasn't just weaker than Jon - he was also the weakest character statistically among the entire roster. Locke was considered to be this for Sabin. Adam Jensen for Gabe Newell in Safety Valve. Justified, as Jensen wanted nothing to do with the tag team and would rather be a singles wrestler, at least for a while. | |

Special Edition Title: The third season finale played a clip show opening using the opening theme from the UK Version of Gladiators provided to Bazza by an international man of mystery. Sort of became an accidental Fake-Out Opening because said international man of mystery didn't know what was going to happen and might have accidentally hyped up certain elements that ended up playing less of a role. Every WVGCW Halloween Special has had an especially spooky version of it's normal intro. End Game X1 had one of these as well, with an edited version of a trailer for the show. | |
