** Some of these are a result of CharacterizationMarchesOn. A prominent example of this is "Alicia Strong", the daughter of an all-time great who has an entire women's division built around her -- but her first appearance (2008) actually predates Wrestling/CharlotteFlair's debut by ''five years''. Over time, she's adopted more of Charlotte's attributes, and even turned heel in TEW 2020.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Played straight and averted. Several of the restrictions that apply to the player don't apply to the AI.AI (most notably, momentum, chemistry, and repetitive match penalties), so it's much more difficult for the player to get top-graded matches and shows, especially in larger promotions. The flip side is that the AI doesn't always make good decisions on who to hire and push, leaving talented wrestlers in the smaller indie promotions or unemployed for the player to snap up. Also, the AI will sometimes fail to replace support staff (announcers, refs) in smaller promotions when they leave.

* ''Total Extreme Wrestling'': Released via .400 Software for the 2004 version and with Greydog Software for 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2013, and 2016. Greatly enhances the game from ''Revenge'', adding in more realistic development territories and more micromanagement when it comes to event times. 2005 was eventually made freeware to promote ''TEW 2008'' and other games made by Ryland.

* {{Expy}}: Countless. Ryland has admitted that a number of characters were originally inspired by real life wrestlers, generally as composites rather than direct counterparts. For example, wrestler "Paul Huntingdon" has his name and gimmick based on the young Wrestling/TripleH, but some of his stats and attributes are less, er...Levesque-esque. Threads debating who in real life may have inspired which character are always popular on the forums. There are, however, some obvious parallels, such as "The Force" being based on Wrestling/UltimateWarrior's in-ring gimmick and face paint.
