[=CAWs=] are characters you can make in Wrestling Games[[note]]Stands for "Create A Wrestler"[[/note]], ''CAW Leagues'' are when [[WrestlingGame Wrestling Video Game]] fans with too much time on their hands decide that they'll make their own wrestling shows, with some leagues that will either follow close to core structure of Professional Wrestling, or will have the greatest CrossOver ever inside a wrestling ring. What results is a strange mixture of ProfessionalWrestling, LetsPlay and a FanFic.
!!Notable CAW Leagues:
* Begins and ends with ''No DQ CAW''
* ''Slam 'n' Jam''
* ''WebVideo/{{SMF}}''
* ''[[HoganVsFlair HVF]]'' -- [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]] Vs. [[Wrestling/RicFlair Flair]]
* ''WebVideo/TheVivianverse'' -- A group of leagues who operate under the same continuity as each other.
** ''WEDF''
** ''New-TNA'''
** ''New-WWE''
** ''Jeri-MAX''
** ''NAW''
** ''IWT''
** ''NESE''
* ''NGW''
* ''XGWL''
* ''ICCW''
* ''ICWO'' -- One of the more controversial leagues due to its rivalry with SMF and its related CAW leagues. However, it does have many followers, although hasn't been updated since 2010.
* ''WebVideo/SCAWSuperstarsOfCAW''
* ''[[Main/{{RXW}} RXW: Reviewtopia Xtreme Wrestling]]''
* ''DWA'' -- SCAW's FriendlyRival fed.

It's gotten to the point where he has made several unintentionally hilarious (and now infamous) NGW segments featuring [[AuthorAvatar himself]] having romantic encounters with a text-to-speech voiced Ami.

** Xtreme Tony in XGWL
** Oshujax in New-TNA
** Baz [=McMahon=] in ''[[WebVideo/VideoGameChampionshipWrestling VGCW]]''
*** Bryn [=McMahon=] in its ''Female Division''.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The Suspect.
* DeathIsCheap: Some storylines in CAW have wrestlers dying, [[BackFromTheDead only to be resurrected by winning a regular old match]].
** And sometimes both historical figures and wrestlers who are dead in real life just happen to show up in leagues.
* {{Expy}}: Oh so many. A lot of characters' gimmicks are based off of Wrestling/{{WWE}} Superstars. Some are so blatant that they tread into CaptainErsatz territory.
** If not gimmicks or characters, some leagues will also [[FollowTheLeader just copy recent storylines seen on TV.]]
* FollowTheLeader: After the success of the Vivianverse, many other leagues attempted to create their own shared continuity with each other.
** Being one of the first, and most popular feds out there, ideas and characters from ''No DQ CAW'' are frequently used in imitation leagues.
* [[FountainOfExpies Iconic Character]]: Danny Jackpot.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Wanna see Spider-Man take on Mario? Or perhaps Guile take on Shelton Benjamin? All is welcome!
* MoreDakka: Wrestling Mpire leagues (of MDickie fame) make up for the lack of decent gameplay by optimizing the deathmatch options in-game. It does help when you only have to press one button to create random explosions.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Many parodies of known CAWs in New-WWE.
* OneWingedAngel: A fairly regular occurrence in fantasy feds. SMF is especially infamous for this, having had several of its wrestlers turn into Incredible Hulk-esque monsters or [[Anime/DragonBallZ Super Saiyans]].
* WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}}: In the shape of NewLegacyInc's UMAD.
* SeriesMascot: Jason Voorhees for NODQ CAW, Ami Mizuno for NGW/VWF, [=Ronald McDonald=] for SMF, Spider-Man for SCAW, Danny Jackpot for ''everything''...
* SeriousBusiness: Oh, where to ''begin''?
* SmallNameBigEgo: Too many to count.
* TakeThat: XGWL's owner had been given abuse by a Website/YouTube user called Dratsab over the Internet. His response was to put Dratsab in his league and have his AuthorAvatar character buried him into the ground, completely destroying him in every match.
** Happens fairly often in CAW, usually when a CAW fed owner has [[RealLifeWritesThePlot legitimate issues]] with another fed owner/fan/community member. The oldest example would be ACWL's owner putting the administrator of the No DQ forum on the roster as an ultra heel who frequently received overly long beatdowns.
** Super Dingos does this a lot with people who criticize his league.
* TookALevelInBadass: Connor Wine started out in the camcorder league ACW, being one of many mocked in UMAD. Then he got picked up by New-WWE in Season 3 during a talent initiative and would later became a New-WWE Triple Crown champion.
