* SpiritualSuccessor: The show's three most notable successors were ''Powerful Women of Wrestling'' (POWW) which was more wrestling-based, ''Women of Wrestling'' (WOW) which was a trainwreck that went dormant after one year in 2001 but made a surprising return in 2012, partnering with Glory Kickboxing of all things in 2017, and ''Wrestling/{{Wrestlicious}}'' which was a little bit of both, airing for one year and being very silly but also putting on better matches at more consistent rates than WWE's Divas or TNA's Knockouts were that year. Others include LPWA and CRUSH. POWW and WOW were also run by David [=McLane=].

* OnceAnEpisode: Nearly every episode of the first two seasons ended with Aunt Kitty knocking on David's hotel room and trying to "set him up with" Hollywood (heavily implied to be prostituting her.) The general format was:

--->'''David:''' Good, we can [[PungeonMaster [pun on said expression]]]! [[labelnote:Example]]("take her out back and bury her!")[[/labelnote]]

* {{Jobber}}: The amusingly named Vicki Victory. She came close to pinning the heels many times, but they always Wrestling/RicFlair'd their way to a count-out.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: California Doll once called Spanish Red a wetback on-camera, claiming she had heard it from the other Faces. (Possibly why [[DudeNotFunny nobody at all objected]] to the rather brutal beating Rose gave her for it.)
