* BadassDecay: Danger and Violence Extreme, the Wrestling/{{ECW}} analog in the ''Total Extreme Wrestling'' series, was a powerful promotion in early games in the series, but an aging roster, talent raids and heavy financial burdens killed the promotion in the game, just like its real world counterpart died.
* BrokenBase: The move between different iterations of the game have the usual stuff that happens with all series. When the game went from freeware to a professional project, there were some users on the games message boards accusing Ryland of selling out.
* GameBreaker: When playing real-world historical mods, signing workers you know will go on to succeed can be this.
* GoodBadBugs: In the original ''Extreme Warfare'', if you had a wrestler on your roster named Vacant and a title ended up being vacated, it would end up being awarded to the wrestler named Vacant.
* HarsherInHindsight: The possibility of workers dying in the series starting in ''Total Extreme Wrestling'' can make this easy to happen.
* OlderThanYouThink: Especially those who started on late EWR or the TEW series.
