4	SCAW: Superstars of CAW is a Wrestling/{{CAW League\|s}} (A wrestling federation using a wrestling video game. In SCAW's case, ''[[VideoGame/WWEVideoGames SmackDown vs RAW 2006]]'') produced by [=Lonestarr022=]. It uses fictional characters or real life celebrities as wrestlers. The league has been running since 2007, and most action takes place on the weekly show, SCAW Superstar Clash.

8	A Character Sheet is coming soon.
9	----
10	!! SCAW: Superstars of CAW contains examples of:
11	* AbortedArc - The Flash's FaceHeelTurn (he was future endeavored) and Max Payne's feud with Captain Picard and Spock.
12	* AllAmericanFace: Captain America and Guile. The two of them form a Tag Team called the All Americans. Homer Simpson also qualifies.
13	* AlphaBitch: Music/AvrilLavigne
14	* AmbiguouslyGay: Everyone believes that Kuwabara is gay, although he denies it.
15	* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Not really for just SCAW, but the video game Lonestarr uses allows for some crazy stunts to be performed, most notably, Mr. Clean performing a Cleaning Press with no ladder underneath him, essentially jumping off mid-air.
16	* ArtShift: Lonestarr switched to ''[=SmackDown=] vs RAW 2007'' for a few episodes of Superstar Clash, but decided 06 was better. He has also upgraded his capture cards in the past, allowing for a better quality recording of the TV.
17	** Parts of Blood, Sweat, & Tears VII were done on [=WWE2K14=] before SCAW would fully migrate to the new game.
18	** SCAW migrated to 2K18 starting in the 2018 SCAW Tournament and then transitioned to 2K19 starting in 2021.
19	* BadSanta: Santa played this straight when he was a heel.
20	%%* BadAssSanta
21	%%* BadassLongcoat: Hellboy
22	* BoringButPractical: Lebron James' running knee-to-the-face finisher.
23	* BreakingTheFourthWall: This happens quite a bit. Part of Spider-Man's current gimmick is that he does this, and sometimes Deadpool to an extent.
24	* BuriedAlive: Manga/InuYasha, Batman, and Superman all lost a buried alive match and disappeared for several months before returning.
25	* ButtMonkey: Nacho seems to serve as this these days.
26	* CheapHeat: Invoked often by SCAW's various heels.
27	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Homer Simpson qualifies, particularly as a face.
28	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: George W. Bush was this during his brief reign as the president of SCAW. ''Abraham Lincoln'' of all people became this following the Salt Lake City screwjob.
29	* CurbstompBattle: As with any wrestling federation, this tends to happen whenever jobbers are involved, though there have been exceptions with otherwise competent wrestlers.
30	* DemotedToExtra: Nacho is now a "road agent".
31	* DiscOneFinalBoss: Manga/InuYasha defeated the mastermind behind Project Doomsday, Dr. Doom, early on in the Virus Arc only to continue the feud with a Virus-controlled Optimus Prime.
32	* TheDragon: Optimus Prime to Dr. Doom while in Project Doomsday.
33	** DemotedToDragon - Doom, though this is actually subverted as the Fearsome Four has no real leader (or so they claim) so no one in the group is a dragon.
34	* EasilyDistractedReferee: The referees of SCAW are utterly incompetent.
35	* EasilyForgiven: On the first Superstar Clash after winning the Tag-Team titles, Joker betrayed his partner, Batman, and put him on the shelf for several months, vacating the titles in the process. This eventually led to a feud which came to a head at Blood, Sweat, & Tears 3 in a triple-threat match (also involving Robin). The next Clash after that, they started teaming again apparently after some convincing from Jack Sparrow.
36	* {{Expy}}: SCAW has several.
37	* FaceHeelTurn: As you would expect of a wrestling federation, this is fairly standard.
38	* FelonyMisdemeanor: "Dastardly bastard! He stepped on his foot!"
39	* FingerPokeOfDoom: Classic Joker often poked people in the eye, and Lonestarr would call it this.
40	* FollowTheLeader: SCAW borrows quite a bit from NoDQ CAW, considering that league was inspiration for SCAW's existence to begin with.
41	* ForeignWrestlingHeel: The Prince of Persia takes every opportunity to declare his hatred for America. Ichigo Kurosaki has done the same in the past.
42	* FriendlyRival: With DWA, a fellow CAW League. Years later, SCAW had a collaborative event with UCWL.
43	* GroinAttack: Done more often than in real wrestling because for whatever reason, no one ever gets disqualified for doing this. Piccolo and Santa Claus (during his heel run) seem to be particularly fond of this.
44	* HeelFaceTurn: As you would expect from a wrestling federation.
45	* HeroKiller: Edward Elric was referred to as this during the later half of his heel run as he scored wins over main eventers like Superman and Green Lantern.
46	* HesBack: Like in regular wrestling, this tends to happen a lot.
47	* InNameOnly: A few superstars such as Ichigo Kurosaki, are so different from the original character that they may as well not be the same character at all. One prominent reason is that while Ichigo may be the hero of his anime series, Bleach, in SCAW, he is an underhanded and opportunistic heel in the vein of Edge.
48	* {{Jerkass}}: Most of the heels. Ichigo Kurosaki is the biggest example.
49	* JobberEntrance: Milhouse gets one whenever he shows up.
50	* LargeHam: Lonestarr himself can qualify for this, particularly in his voicing of Mr. T. Some such as Dr. Doom stay true to their source material by being particularly wordy and grandiose.
51	* LongRunner: SCAW has been produced almost weekly since 2007.
52	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The entire point of SCAW.
53	* MindScrew: The Joker vs. Joker arc.
54	* NoSell: Happens more often than in real wrestling due to being a video game.
55	* PaletteSwap: When Spider-Man and Superman turn heel, they change their colors (plus a beard for Superman). War Machine has a few different layers than Iron Man but is otherwise mostly the same. Some superstars like M. Bison and Prince of Persia have had their outfits made slightly darker though no significant changes have been made.
56	* PoliceAreUseless: Security is never around to break up backstage fights. When the nWo first invaded SCAW, Lonestarr shouted for security to come down to the ring, but of course no such thing happened.
57	* PowerStable: The nWo, Animation Evolution, Project Doomsday and the Fearsome Four. Completely averted with the Holy Straight Edge Society, who never once looked like a threat.
58	** The Joker's Deck.
59	* ProWrestlingIsReal
60	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The destruction of the original SCAW forum at the hands of two trolls was inserted into the Virus storyline, and blamed on Dr. Doom in kayfabe.
61	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Manga/InuYasha and Anakin against Project Doomsday and Abraham Lincoln respectively.
62	* RunningGag: "MY CHINESE FOOD!"
63	** "I'm alive!"
64	** Blackouts.
65	** "SAMOAN DROP...AND HE'S NOT EVEN SAMOAN!"
66	* SeriousBusiness: "Back to fictional, video game wrestling...THAT'S SERIOUS BUSINESS!"
67	* ShoutOut: Too many to count.
68	* SmallNameBigEgo: A lot of the lower card talent can qualify. Billy Madison was probably the biggest example.
69	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Doctor Doom is this to Anakin, formerly Darth Vader.
70	* TakeThat: Lonestarr takes several shots at WWE and TNA, as well as various athletes or movies.
71	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Robin gave a pretty good one to Ichigo Kurosaki on the last Clash episode before To Hell and Back 2011.
72	* TookALevelInBadass: Happens occasionally. Ryu Hayabusa was a jobber for a long time, before suddenly winning the inaugural Zero-One Title and ended up holding it for longer than anyone else.
73	** The Green Lantern who was originally partnered with The Flash. The team was broken up after a few months and GL became one of the most decorated wrestlers in the fed.
74	** The Gladiator "spent more time on the canvas than Rembrandt" before becoming a 2 time Zero-One champion, 5 time Tag Team champion (more times than anyone) and 2011 [[Wrestling/RoyalRumble Match of Destiny]] winner.
75	** Edward Elric was just a random jobber who appeared once in 2008. He comes back a year later and has since become a multiple-time champ and Grand Slam winner, becoming over the years a very reliable, if sometimes overly confident, superstar.
76	* TournamentArc: There's one every year. Here are the winners:
77	** 2007 and 2010 - [[spoiler:Spider-Man]]
78	** 2008 - [[spoiler:Homer Simpson]]
79	** 2009 - [[spoiler:[=InuYasha=]]]
80	** 2011 - [[spoiler:Anakin]]
81	** 2012 - [[spoiler:The Prince of Persia]]
82	** 2013 - [[spoiler:Edward Elric]]
83	** 2015 - [[spoiler:Hellboy]]
84	** 2016 - [[spoiler:Thor]]
85	** 2018 - [[spoiler:King]]
86	** 2020 - [[spoiler:Brian Urlacher]]
87	*** So far, [[spoiler:Brian Urlacher]] is the only tournament winner in SCAW to [[spoiler:be stripped of his number one contendership to the SCAW Championship because of some incendiary comments he made directed towards the BLM movement in 2020.]]
88	* WhamEpisode
89	** Spider-Man as the leader of the NWO at Spring Showdown 2008.
