3 | Vortexx was a SaturdayMorningCartoon [[MediaNotes/BlockProgramming block]] on Creator/TheCW, that replaced Creator/{{Toonzai}}, and was run by Creator/SabanBrands. The block aimed to feature action-adventure and comedy shows, including ProfessionalWrestling from Wrestling/{{WWE}}, and aired in HD, unlike with Toonzai and other past Creator/FourKidsEntertainment blocks. |

5 | The block was launched on August 25, 2012, [[ShortRunner but only lasted two years]]. On September 27, 2014, it was replaced with Litton's all live-action ''One Magnificent Morning'' block. [[EndOfAnAge Vortexx wound up being the last traditional Saturday morning block that didn't focus on educational programming]]. |

36 | !!The block provides examples of: |
37 | * AntiClimax: The final broadcast of Vortexx was treated as a normal broadcast with no fanfare or advertisement. |
38 | * EndOfAnAge: Though Vortexx wasn't the last program block to air cartoons on Saturday mornings, it was the last traditional block to premiere new and exclusive shows. |
39 | * [[LastOfHisKind Last Of Its Kind]]: Well, Toonzai had this trope, and it applied ever more fittingly here. Almost three years later, the baton would be picked up by Sinclair's daily children's block, Creator/{{KidsClick}}, in July 2017. |
40 | * LighterAndSofter: As mentioned above, every acquired show is edited down to air under The CW's strict TV-Y7-FV standards. |
41 | ** ''WWE Saturday Morning Slam'' was lighter fare than Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s usual programming, being forced to abide by TV-G standards instead of WWE's usual TV-PG-V rating. Also, moves aimed at the neck or head are banned. This got a little obvious when Wrestling/RandyOrton had a match, since his finisher, the RKO, specifically targets the neck. Every time he tried it, or his second rope DDT, they would awkwardly cut to the announcers. |
42 | *** The only non-Y7 content was the Monster Bash segment hosted by Kane which showcased all of WWE's creepy oddities and monsters. |
