Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video)	comment	Warning: Unmarked spoilers for all previous matches below. Tropes related to live events or Patreon releases will not be added until/unless those matches are made publicly available on YouTube.The Movie Trivia Schmoedown is a movie trivia-based competition series currently airing on the Schmoedown Entertainment Network YouTube channel, previously airing on the Collider Videos channel. It features legitimate trivia competition, but also features WWE style storylines and characters. The show was founded by the Schmoes Know, Kristian Harloff and Mark Ellis. The competitors answer movie trivia questions from an array of randomly selected categories and receive points for correct responses. The competitor with the most points at the end of each match wins, sometimes mathematically eliminating their opponent prior to the final question or round. There are four leagues: Singles, Teams, Innergeekdom (which revolves exclusively around nerdy film franchises such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Harry Potter, and others), and Star Wars. Each division has a champion and rankings/tournaments to decide who will next challenge for the belt.Storylines before and after matches mimic the storylines in 80's/90's professional wrestling, with characters defined as a Face, Heel, or Tweener. Characters would also sometimes align themselves with factions to heighten the drama and flesh out storylines. The outcomes of the matches dictate where characters go in these storylines.Beginning in 2020 with Season 7, players participated in a draft at the beginning of the season where nine managers formed new factions that consisted of up to ten players with the option of trading them throughout the season. Each win would accumulate points for that player's faction with the winning faction obtaining a secret prize at the end of the season.The final champions for each of the four divisions are (as of October 1, 2022): Singles Championship: "The Inglourious One" Samm Levine Teams Championship: King Arthur: Tokyo Drift (Jeffrey "King" Kan and "Primetime" Paul Oyama) Innergeekdom Championship: Kevin "The Smasher" Smets Star Wars Championship: Andrew "The Hunter" Dimalanta

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_112daba0	comment	Retired Badass: The Shirewolves qualify, having been two-time Teams champions and having formally retired from competition midway through Season 6 after their match against Korruption, but are no less badass and still involved with the show with both as commentators and Wolfe as the commissioner. Zig Zagged with Levine, the former double-belted Singles and Teams champion who retired midway through Season 5 and returned as Singles commissioner at the beginning of Season 6, but was incredibly apathetic towards the job and ousted from it at the end of the season. However, he is now a manager starting with Season 7 and it remains to be seen how well he'll do in the role.

He only grows a spine once Chandler presents him with a document claiming that the Shirewolves and Who's the Boss won't compete at Spectacular until he stands up to Kalinowski, after which he refuses to give Korruption an unearned Teams title shot at Spectacular, despite Kalinowski's threats.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: Prior to Rocha's arrival at the Spectacular before the Teams title match, Murrell offered taking on Shazam by himself so the Founding Fathers wouldn't have to forfeit the belts. He would end up taking on the members of Shazam in a three-way Singles number one contender match less than two months later. The irony wasn't lost on the editors, as a promo for the match played the scene where he said he'd take them on by himself during Spectacular.

The first ending has Rocha anoint Bibbs as a member of the Horsemen, bringing the number of members up to six. The second has Chandler giving Bibbs her Free-4-All automatic title shot to skip over Sneider entirely. The final and definitive one has him simply walk to the table.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: After discovering that Bibbiani is mentoring Brendan Meyer, Seibold angrily confronts Bibbs, assuming he is abandoning their team, Critically Acclaimed, in order to form a new team with Meyer. Though that wasn't Bibbs' intention, Seibold breaks off their partnership to reunite with Marc Edward Heuck to reform the Self-Righteous Brothers. In a bit of irony, this results a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy in which Bibbs actually ends up forming the team Shazam with Meyer and goes on a huge run with him in the 2019 Teams tournament and getting a title shot whereas the Self-Righteous Brothers lose their first match in the tournament. Tom Dagnino has become the poster child for this trope. The Finstock Exchange became rife with conflict at the beginning of Season 7 during the draft. Despite all four of the other Horsemen being protected members of his faction, Dagnino opted to announce each member one at a time as his official pick for each of the first four rounds, which came off as a major slight to Rocha (even outside of kayfabe), who was announced last and ended up officially as the faction's fourth round pick. Rocha was angered to the point of announcing that he was considering leaving the faction and many believed that this drama could have been avoided had Dagnino announced the Horsemen collectively as his first four picks and communicated his plan to the team. Dagnino again regarding the manager debacle with the Bateman vs Murrell title match. As Bateman and Murrell are part of the same faction, Dagnino would be unable to manage both players during the match and had to decide how management would be handled. Initially, he abruptly announced that neither player would be managed, prompting further discord in the faction (especially on Rocha's end) as he did not inform the competitors of this decision prior to the announcement. Ultimately, it was decided that Dagnino would manage Bateman and Rocha would manage Murrell, but much strife and mockery towards the faction resulted from this dispute. Korruption was hit with this. When Shannon announced the line-up for season 9, she wasn't clear if she wanted Adam Collins to stay. The plan was to keep him on his toes and make him prove himself, but he instead takes it as a sign he's not welcome anymore and jumps ship to SWAG, breaking up Deception.

Later averted when he allows both Bateman and Dagnino into the Horsemen during the Houston Live Event, attributing his change of heart to Bateman's willingness to spin away from Spinner's Choice during his match against Ghai.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_2493b31d	comment	Fire-Forged Friends: Reilly was not pleased to be paired up with Bateman and managed by Dagnino to form Who's the Boss for the Anarchy tournament, but as they begin winning matches and Reilly discovers that Bateman didn't actually steal his dog, they warm up to each other and resolve to stay together even after their title shot loss. This is best demonstrated after Ghai attacks Bateman for sticking with Reilly and Reilly charges to Bateman's defense. Downplayed with the Odd Couple (Sneider and Andreyko with Striar managing), as their personalities initially clashed before Striar got them to work together better, but they still respected each other from the beginning and Sneider at least was happy to have Andreyko as his partner. Subverted with the Cinemaniacs (Knost and Bibbs with Fyffe managing), who never found their groove before their defeat to Who's the Boss, and the Evil Geniuses (L. Harris and JTE), who are split up after their debut match due to Real Life events.

A few months after at the Chicago Live Event after Who's the Boss loses to the Odd Couple, Sneider and Andreyko rebuff Bateman's handshake offer, Roxy Striar slaps him straight across the face, and a video of Ghai mocking Bateman is played.

Everyone vilifies JTE for this move, viewing it as a betrayal to Finstock (who forms a new team with Josh Macuga), and begins referring to him as "Little Evil." Initially frustrated with the ill treatment, JTE eventually embraces the new identity and makes a Face-Heel Turn, soon going on a historic Teams run with his new partner, Jeff Sneider.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_4c1f77ca	type	Third Time's The Charm
Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_4c1f77ca	comment	Third Time's The Charm: Reilly lost to Rocha the first two times he faced him in Singles, but finally defeated him the third time in a championship match. The Founding Fathers lost to Korruption the first two times they played, but finally defeated them the third time, also in a championship match, and put up the most accurate performance in a Teams title match of all time doing so. Played with regarding Murrell's championship bouts. He is one of the greatest players in the league and unsurprisingly played great games the first two times he challenged for the Singles belt, but he played with 100% accuracy in his title match against Erwin, which set the record for the most accurate performance in a Singles title match of all time. Applies to the iterations of the Horsemen: The faction first formed at the end of Season 3. The first iteration had high expectations, as it consisted of John Rocha and Matt Knost of Top 10, then the Teams champions; William Bibbiani, who had broken the points record in Singles in his debut; and Robert Meyer Burnett, then the IG champion. However, Top 10 lost their belts the night the faction formed to the Patriots, Bibbs suffered a huge loss to JTE in his next Singles match, and RMB lost the IG belt on his first defense to Hector Navarro and lost his next match to Jeremy Jahns. The only bright spot of this iteration was Rocha winning the Singles belt, though he lost it on his first defense to Reilly. Bibbs and RMB officially abandoned the faction midway through Season 4 to join the Growling Commandos and the Lion's Den respectively. Rocha and Knost experienced a Heel-Face Turn around this time as well. The second iteration had even higher expectations with Rocha and Knost, the former Teams champions and Rocha as a former Singles champion; Mark Reilly, a former two-time Singles champion; then-IG champion Jason Inman; and Dan Murrell, also a former two-time Singles champion. Unfortunately, Murrell and Reilly each lost their first Singles matches as Horsemen to Andrew Ghai via TKO; Inman lost the IG belt on his next defense to Mara Knopic; and Knost, Murrell, and Rocha didn't make it farther than the quarterfinals in the Anarchy tournament. On the bright side, Rocha successfully defeated Bibbs to become a two-time Singles champion (though he lost the belt on his first defense to Ethan Erwin), Murrell earned a number one contender's match at the end of the season, and Reilly had a Teams title match at Spectacular after winning the Anarchy tournament with Ben Bateman. However, Knost and Inman retired at the end of Season 5, leaving just the three remaining members. The third iteration consisted of Rocha, Murrell (who had won back the Singles belt by this time to become a three-time champion), Reilly, Bateman, and Tom Dagnino. Despite serious reservations, Rocha relented to Reilly, who wanted his new partner and manager in the faction, and allowed Bateman and Dagnino in about midway through season 6. Shockingly, this iteration would be the most successful. They had a rough start with Murrell losing the belt to Paul Oyama and Bateman losing a match to Mike Kalinowski that would've earned him a number one contender's match. However, things soon turned around with Rocha and Murrell, now teamed up as the Founding Fathers, winning the Teams belts from Korruption after Dan cashed in his Free-4-All title match; defending those belts at the Spectacular; Bateman winning the Singles tournament; and him ultimately winning the Singles belt from Oyama at Spectacular, leading to the greatest success the faction ever experience before it folded into the Finstock Exchange.

It initially appears as if he is about to propose (and Shazam and many fans thought as much), only for him to announce that he is planning to compete in IG next season. Subverted again by Winston Marshall in Rogue 2 vs The Wicked where, after both teams have made their entrances, he tells Striar that he has something very important to ask her and gets down on one knee as romantic music plays, only to offer her a paper "L" and ask if she will accept this loss. Jared Haibon, one half of the Wicked, swiftly grabs it out of his hand and rips it up. This was very likely a nod to Haibon himself.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_51a3ba7	comment	We Used to Be Friends: Occurs frequently with teammates or faction-mates when one turns face or heel and the other doesn't follow, which often leads to them facing off against each other at some point: Chandler with Washington and Howard after she experiences a Heel-Face Turn. Napzok with Cushing after he has his Face-Heel Turn and joins the Lion's Den. He and Dagnino face the Shirewolves in the latter's debut match with the Shirewolves coming out on top. Kalinowski with The League and Chandler after he has his Face-Heel Turn. A more downplayed example occurred with Wolfe and Reilly after Reilly comes out of retirement in Season 5. Wolfe was displeased with the short timespan of his retirement that had caused their partnership to break up, but they ultimately still respect each other. Ghai and Bateman after Bateman stays partnered with Reilly and starts going through a Heel-Face Turn, which culminated in the Action Civil War where they and their new factions faced off against each other four times throughout Season 6 (specifically Bateman/Dagnino vs The Family, RMB vs Dagnino, Bateman vs Ghai, and Who's the Boss vs The Family; the Family prevailed winning three out of the four matches). Howard with Washington and Jeannine after Washington begins focusing more of his time on Jeannine and Ethan Erwin, which eventually culminates in his and Jeannine's Heel-Face Turns. Howard remains a heel and joins Korruption, much to Washington's chagrin. Jeannine and Howard would eventually face off with the former coming out on top.

Paul Oyama always checks his watch in a dramatic faction as he enters the ring. Ben Bateman always blows a kiss directly to the camera when he enters the ring. He also used to sometimes carry a briefcase with him that contained a nameplate, picture of himself, and a flask to set on the desk. Within gameplay, Bateman has become infamous for waiting until the last possible second to answer questions and sometimes fakes not knowing them, much to the chagrin of his opponents and some audience members. Though the tactic clearly has the advantage of throwing off his competitors, he has also rationalized using it, pointing out that it's beneficial to use all the time allotted to review the answer in your head and not answer too quickly, as many competitors have jumped to answer questions without fully thinking them through and ultimately missing them.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_6f33059b	comment	Iconic Outfit: Murrell's, both on the show and in Real Life, consists of a plaid shirt, glasses (usually prescription, but sometimes Cool Shades and occasionally none at all), and a Florida State University hat. Played for Laughs twice, once when Bateman donned this outfit to mock him with Ghai after the second 2018 Live Event, and again during the third Free-4-All when Humphrey donned it as a tribute. Team Action previously wore suits at all times. However, they each only occasionally wear them now and have both taken to dressing more casually, though Bateman still consistently wears a blazer. Witney Seibold also always wears a full suit and Bibbs would follow suit whenever they would play together. Macuga doesn't have one specific outfit, but he is known for wearing outfits, especially blazers, with crazy designs on them.

Played for Laughs by Greg Alba when he donned the same items to mock Rocha after Rocha won Best Entrance by an Individual the previous year, which Alba felt slighted by. Dagnino has the sock mask that would distinguish himself from the "Finstock" persona. It was initially shown that RMB burned it at the end of Season 5, but a post-Heelâ€“Face Turn Ghai gives it back to him, revealing he'd never trust RMB with the real thing. Reilly has a leather jacket with the Superman logo on it. The Barbarian has Elvis, his "living" fur pelt he always wears on his shoulder and constantly strokes. RMB has a decadent black and gold coat. Oyama had a signature black and red jacket and Cool Shades, but tossed them upon forming Final Exam to create a new image for himself. Kevin Smets always wears a hoodie with the hood up. Rachel Silvestrini often wears a floral hair accessory.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_779009b5	comment	Beware the Quiet Ones: Rachel Cushing and Kevin Smets are two of the quieter personalities in the league and often have their managers smack talk for them. In Cushing's case, she was initially uncomfortable with having the spotlight on her when she entered the league. However, they are two of the most fearsome competitors in the show's history. Cushing is as a former Teams and IG champion and has the highest accuracy rate of all time in the Singles Division. Smets is the current IG champion and has the highest IG accuracy rate of all time. Ironically, they were friends prior to being on the show and are in the same line of work in Real Life. Chance Ellison initially didn't talk when he made his debut, only shrugging in response to Ken Napzok's questions. He also has the second highest accuracy rate in the Singles Division (only behind Cushing), the highest first round accuracy rate of all time, is a former Teams champion, and is the youngest person in the show's history to ever hold a belt. This has been downplayed more recently though, as he has begun talking more and more, though Kalinowski and his managers, current and past, still handle most of the smack talk for him.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_7e5c5de4	comment	Defeat as Backstory: The genesis of John Rocha's character arc, the longest by far in the show's run, can be traced to his Singles debut match against Scott Mantz where he unexpectedly lost on a Star Wars question that many thought he would hit, to the point that Mantz didn't truly believe he won initially. This moment would give Rocha the motivation to work harder to achieve greatness within the Schmoedown, much of which he has accomplished through winning the Singles and Teams belts twice each. Current IG champion Kevin Smets originally auditioned for the show through the Skype audition Patreon tier in 2018, but was rejected by Harloff and sent to the fan leagues. This drove him to study even more diligently than before, which paid off when he blasted through competitors in the fan leagues and finally made his debut the following season, going on a massive run that culminated in winning the IG belt at Spectacular IV, as well as IG/Star Wars Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_808324e1	comment	The Runner-Up Takes It All: Mark Ellis was the winner of the 2016 Ultimate Schmoedown tournament, but he lost his Singles title shot against Murrell at the first Schmoedown Spectacular and hasn't won a Singles match since. Meanwhile, Rocha, the runner-up of the tournament, won a number one contender's match against Reilly at the Spectacular and went on to beat Murrell for the title the next season among other accomplishments. Downplayed with the 2018 Ultimate Schmoedown tournament. Ethan Erwin won the tournament and went on to defeat Rocha for the belt at Spectacular III. However, Murrell, who lost to Erwin in the semi-finals of the tournament, would go on to defeat Marc Andreyko, the other losing semi-finalist, to earn a number one contender's match against Clarke Wolfe, the actual runner-up. Upon defeating her, he earned a title shot against Erwin and defeated him at his first defense, avenging his loss and eventually going on to defend the belt himself to further solidify his legacy. Also downplayed with the inaugural Innergeekdom Tournament in 2018. Mara Knopic beat Kalinowski to win the tournament and ultimately defeated Jason Inman to win the championship, becoming the first individual female champion and first female IG champion. However, Kalinowski (through unscrupulous means) got an automatic title shot against Knopic after she won the belt and defeated her for it at Spectacular III. Though he could not defend the belt, he soon won it back the following season to become the first person to win the IG belt twice.

After Bonnie Sommerville suffers a loss against Brett Sheridan, bringing her record down to 0-3, manager Shannon Barney initially seems sympathetic, only to quickly turn around and trade Sommerville to the Burning Droogs for rookie Claudia Dolph. At Spectacular VI, Kate Mulligan follows Thomas Harper's successful defense of the Star Wars championship (the only title that the Den won all season) by dropping her entire faction, leaving only Harper, who retired the following season and vacated the belt, and Saul, who wasn't happy about it and left anyway.

Kevin Smets is widely considered one of the greatest IG players of all time and is legendary for his intense study methods, but he only scored one point in the third Free-4-All before getting eliminated.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_9e10b88d	type	Defeating the Undefeatable
Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_9e10b88d	comment	Defeating the Undefeatable: Occurs when a competitor or team who goes on an impressive run (generally five or more consecutive wins) and wins a championship match, especially without any losses on their record, finally succumbs to a loss. Mark Reilly went 5-0 in Singles at the beginning of his Schmoedown career, winning the incumbent 2014 Ultimate Schmoedown Tournament to become the first ever champion. He had one successful defense afterwards, but then lost the belt to Dan Murrell. Similarly, Dan Murrell was 5-0 at the beginning of his Singles career, having won the belt on his third match, but narrowly lost to Rocha on his third title defense and Rocha's first Singles title shot. The Patriots are the definitive example of this trope, having gone on an unbelievable nine game winning streak with six successful defenses before finally losing to Above the Line in their rematch. Averted with Samm Levine, who had an impressive run in Singles and Teams with Above the Line and successfully defended both belts (twice in Singles), but then retired after defending the Teams championship with both championships and his legacy intact. The Shirewolves, the first female champions in the show's history with the highest Teams accuracy rate at the time, were on a 6-0 run, having won the belts on the fourth match and defending them twice, before losing to the Odd Couple. Paul Oyama had an impressive 6-0 starting record in his rookie season and became only the fourth Singles champion to ever successfully defend the belt. He was also undefeated in the fan leagues prior to making his debut in the league. However, his team with Eric Zipper, the Loose Cannons, lost their second match and Oyama succumbed to a KO loss against Ben Bateman on his second defense. Downplayed with Kevin Smets, who had only won three matches prior to his first match against Kalinowski that he ultimately lost, but he had defeated his first three opponents so decisively and had such a high accuracy rate that he appeared unstoppable.

The Founding Fathers wore suits in their debut match against Wait, I Know This in the third 2018 Live Event and came away with a TKO victory. Bibbs wears them every now and then and is one of, if not the, most knowledgable competitor in the league's history. His former partner Witney Seibold, whom he had a Teams title shot with, also counts.

However, as stated below, Ghai unexpectedly pulls out the victory and pulls no punches in continuing his smack talk against him.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_ca49d764	comment	Breakup Breakout: In-Universe. After Ken Napzok betrayed his Nerd's Watch partner Rachel Cushing to join the Lion's Den, Cushing teamed up with Clarke Wolfe to form the Shirewolves and they claimed the Teams belts, becoming the first women in the show's history to ever win a championship. Cushing would also go on to win the Innergeekdom championship, becoming the second person to ever be double-belted and the first woman to do so. Meanwhile, Napzok lost the Star Wars belt on his first defense and hasn't won a match in any division since, including suffering a loss to the Shirewolves with Tom Dagnino in a Teams match. Aside from a couple of Star Wars matches, he has since stuck with managing, though he has been forced to step down from it and will begin competing again in Season 7. Downplayed with the Wolves of Steel. After Clarke Wolfe and Mark Reilly went their separate ways, Wolfe found great success with the Shirewolves as stated above and was the runner-up in the 2018 Ultimate Schmoedown Tournament, the furthest she ever made it in a Singles tournament. Meanwhile, Reilly's first Singles match after coming out of retirement was against Andrew Ghai, which resulted in a very unexpected TKO loss. He was then forcibly paired up with Ben Bateman to form Who's the Boss as part of the 2018 Anarchy tournament with Tom Dagnino as their manager, much to Reilly's chargin. However, he and Bateman went on an impressive run through the tournament, ultimately winning it and facing the Shirewolves in a championship match. Despite losing the match, Who's the Boss had an impressive showing and are currently one of the highest ranked teams to date.

Movie Trivia Schmoedown (Web Video) / int_d23df201	comment	Tom Dagnino has become the poster child for this trope. The Finstock Exchange became rife with conflict at the beginning of Season 7 during the draft. Despite all four of the other Horsemen being protected members of his faction, Dagnino opted to announce each member one at a time as his official pick for each of the first four rounds, which came off as a major slight to Rocha (even outside of kayfabe), who was announced last and ended up officially as the faction's fourth round pick. Rocha was angered to the point of announcing that he was considering leaving the faction and many believed that this drama could have been avoided had Dagnino announced the Horsemen collectively as his first four picks and communicated his plan to the team. Dagnino again regarding the manager debacle with the Bateman vs Murrell title match. As Bateman and Murrell are part of the same faction, Dagnino would be unable to manage both players during the match and had to decide how management would be handled. Initially, he abruptly announced that neither player would be managed, prompting further discord in the faction (especially on Rocha's end) as he did not inform the competitors of this decision prior to the announcement. Ultimately, it was decided that Dagnino would manage Bateman and Rocha would manage Murrell, but much strife and mockery towards the faction resulted from this dispute.

Unfortunately, Murrell and Reilly each lost their first Singles matches as Horsemen to Andrew Ghai via TKO; Inman lost the IG belt on his next defense to Mara Knopic; and Knost, Murrell, and Rocha didn't make it farther than the quarterfinals in the Anarchy tournament. On the bright side, Rocha successfully defeated Bibbs to become a two-time Singles champion (though he lost the belt on his first defense to Ethan Erwin), Murrell earned a number one contender's match at the end of the season, and Reilly had a Teams title match at Spectacular after winning the Anarchy tournament with Ben Bateman. However, Knost and Inman retired at the end of Season 5, leaving just the three remaining members.

However, the Lion's Den tries to pull a fast one by having Marc Andreyko don the Finstock mask with Dagnino claiming that "Finstock" is merely a persona that anyone could portray. Harloff attempts to shut this down and have Dagnino actually play, but Macuga allows it and comes away with an unexpected win over "Findreyko." As part of the Action Civil War, Bateman and Dagnino anticipated facing Ghai and Robert Meyer Burnett in a Teams match, but Ghai sneakily swapped out RMB for McWeeny with Emma Fyffe prior to the match, leading to a nasty surprise for Bateman and Dagnino the day of. All things considered, the match is shockingly close, ending with a score of 35-30 in favor of the Family.
