"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Trope Wrestling Federation!"
With the influx of wrestling based gods coming into the Pantheon, it was necessary to find a place for them to fight so that their brawls don't go spilling everywhere. It was decreed in a joint effort by the Houses of Combat, Commerce and Sports to create the Trope Wrestling Federation, where the Wrestling Gods can come together to duke it out in front of millions (and millions!).
The Trope Wrestling Federation has several different event locations constructed by the House of Craft, with its biggest events of the year located in what is known as the Pantheon Square Garden. Attendance is charged by fee through the House of Commerce of course, and depending on the matches, anything goes. With enough tables, ladders, chairs and other wrestling paraphernalia scattered everywhere, these venues have no shortage of items needed for an all-out brawl. Gods from the House of Craft also help make merchandise of all the gods ranging from action figures, shirts, makeshift belts and whatnot (with 60% of the profits going to the House of Sports), and even help designing the wrestling gear for the gods themselves based on the ring attire they wear in real life.
The wrestlers are divided into brands based on the ages of wrestling in which they first came to prominence:
- TWF Platinum Age for the classic legends who came to prominence in the times leading up to and including wrestling's first great boom in The '80s
- TWF Revolution for wrestlers whose ascent to power spawned from the times preceding and going through wrestling's second great boom in The '90s all the way through the Turn of the Millennium before the advent of high definition
- TWF Next Level for those who rose up after the birth of HD programming and especially in The New '10s
- TWF Forbidden for talent who came of age during the strange combination of growth and strife that came in The New '20s via AEW and COVID-19
While there is slight tension between those who like the older generations and those who prefer the new, everyone can agree that they all love a good brawl whenever it happens. As a bridge between the two mentalities, the wrestlers usually compete amongst their own peers on regular weekly or bi-weekly shows; however, wrestlers from past eras can visit the shows of eras that came after them, and even wrestle on said other shows depending on how many eras their career spanned. The major events at the Pantheon Square Garden will be cross-promotional, with every brand and era represented if possible.
Wrestlers have been occasionally added to the roster without properly ascending to the Pantheon, or maintained their places on the roster after being removed from their domain due to lack of interaction, but for the majority of the Federation's history under its prior incarnation as the Pantheon Wrestling Federation, this was a rare occurrence. Thanks to a recent change in the business model of the Federation to allow for more wrestlers in order to execute the brand split for the eras, reflected in the name change to the Trope Wrestling Federation, the policy of ascended wrestlers taking priority over non-ascended wrestlers has been changed. Any wrestler with a trope page who wishes to enter can earn a place in the Federation, with proper Pantheon ascension being only one recognized method of doing so; however, those with portfolios in the Pantheon will still have better chances of being booked in the most prominent matches due to higher recognition amongst the deified audience.
Another change to the business model from PWF to TWF is that World Wrestling (Federation) Entertainment/The WWE Universe is no longer in definitive control of where wrestlers are classed in terms of branding. Wrestlers who rose to prominence in the upper echelon of a major or second-tier promotion during one era and then joined Vince McMahon's mortal organization in a later era are now classed according to the era in which they first rose up barring special circumstances, whereas previously they were classed according to the era in which they became WWF/E contracted superstars. Furthermore, wrestlers who never signed with McMahon outside the TWF are now included within the main TWF era brands, rather than set apart in the honorary section as they were previously. TWF now groups each wrestler per affiliation regardless of the era.

- Alignment:
Lawful Good - The first to spearhead the campaign for the Trope Wrestling Federation, his announcement met with much joy throughout the Pantheon.

"Insert quote here!"
Color Commentator for Revolution and Next Level- Full Name: Jerry O'Neil Lawler
- Symbol: His Crown
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Lawler is one of the few commentators who has actually taken part in matches back in the Territorial era of wrestling. He’s more content to commentate now.
Tony Schiavone
"Insert quote here!"
Color Commentator for Revolution and Forbidden- Symbol: The WCW Monday Nitro logo.
- Alignment: Chaotic Good
- As an commentator, Schiavone never directly gets involved in any of the numerous fights that take place in the Pantheons. Instead, he offers his insights on the action alongside a jolly fat guy and a former manager who actually knows what he's doing. Schiavone is also incredibly easy to please, as evidenced by his overwhelmingly positive review of a match between Iron Chef Morimoto and a bale of hay, which ended in a time-limit draw.
- Joined the Trope Wrestling Federation as the WCW representative commentator.
Joey Styles
"OH MY GOD!"
Color Commentator for Revolution- Name at Birth: Joseph Carmine Bonsignore

- Symbol: The ECW Announcers Table.
- Alignment: Lawful Neutral
- Has no problem calling matches by himself if all of his fellow broadcasters are unavailable.
- Whenever he screams his Catchphrase, everyone in the Pantheon knows some serious shit just went down.
- He is one of the very few English speaking Gods, that is considered to be an acceptable replacement for JR.
- Though lately he spends his days as Vice President for the Pantheon Digital Media Content making sure the gods, good or evil get the best clips that exemplifies their heroics or villainy.
Michael Cole
"Vintage!"
Color Commentator for Next Level- Symbol: The Anonymous General Manager’s Laptop
- Alignment: True Neutral
- For the record, Cole is trying to put him saying "Vintage" whenever someone uses their signature move in the past.
John Bradshaw Layfield
"I am a WRESTLING GOD!"
Occasional Color Commentator for Next Level- Symbol: His Own Initials.
- Alignment: Neutral Evil, but Chaotic Good when on commentary.
- Is naturally opposed by the God of Faces, not just on a Face vs. Heel level, but also due to JBL's racist comments towards the Dragon upon ascending.
- When he's not wrestling, he joins Jim Ross on commentary. With the newly instated Trope Wrestling Federation, he begins to bring his own quips and knowledge about wrestling into the stage. He's... actually much nicer on the mic than when he's in the ring.
Howard Finkel
"Insert quote here!"
Ring Announcer for Platinum Age and Revolution- Symbol: A WWE Microphone
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Substitutes: Lilian Garcia (for Revolution), Tony Chimel (as the personal ring announcer of Edge)
- The Trope Wrestling Federation needed someone to announce the Gods who were coming in to fight. The Court of the Gods were interrupted by Howard Finkel introducing himself to them. They immediately agreed in giving him this position.
- He also announces matches and other fights that go on in the Pantheon. This has resulted in more gods coming in to see brawls, due to how loud his voice echoes throughout the Pantheon.
- Came to the TWF to announce the wrestlers coming to fight.
