YMMV / WOW Women of Wrestling

• Awesome Music: Caged Heat's theme, which was the only one with lyrics.
  "LOCA! AND DELTA LOTTA PAIN! CAGED HEAT IS UNLEASHED!"
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Heroic psycho ref Josh Milton, who took a lot of abuse from the wrestlers and got way over on the message boards as a result.
• Evil Is Cool: Beckie The Farmer's Daughter, "The Real Deal" Selina Majors and "The Total Athlete" Roxy Powers aside, a lot of the time the Heels were better wrestlers and cooler than the Faces. Lana Star was an exception, since she was entertaining on the mic but awful in the ring, and was the one character who likely would have made for a better manager than a wrestler. She eventually became one from the 2018 revival onward.
• Fanfic Fuel: Its early demise spawned a lot of stories on the message boards.
• Narm Charm: It was created by the same guy who created GLOW, what else would you expect? Its straight-faced Kayfabe mentality did not fit in with the hardcore climate of 2000-2001. It did not make huge waves in the heavily saturated market of the mid 2010s either, but held its ground the second time around in the more lighthearted, more ring work focused era.
• Retroactive Recognition:
  • Nikkita Lyons of NXT 2.0 wrestled for the 2018 incarnation, using the ringnames Faith, Lioness and Faith the Lioness.
  • Gisele Shaw of TNA also wrestled for the 2018 incarnation, as Azteca and Reyna Reyes.
• The Scrappy:
  • Terri Gold, who was the inaugural WOW Champion and was pushed as the promotion's top Face, but was utterly hated on the various fan message boards, who called her "Terri Hogan".
  • Slam Dunk was hated too, due to being the worst wrestler in the promotion.
  • Bronco Billie belongs too, due to her admitting to not wanting to work hard to get better. Her superior tag team partner Beckie The Farmer's Daughter became an Ensemble Dark Horse as a result.
  • Tessa Blanchard in 2018, due to the insane amount of over promotion she received (overshadowing everyone else by a lot) and by what some viewed as some of the most ridiculous writing ever to give her the championship belt. Continued into 2019 with her dodging Jungle Grrl and The Beast via even more ridiculous writing, and became even worse in early 2020 as offscreen stories about her terrible attitude and behavior towards others in WOW started to come out. None of this stopped her from being the first name announced for the 2022 relaunch, though reports soon began to surface of continued trouble backstage, resulting in her being removed as head trainer and from the company as a whole before the first episodes of the relaunch were even filmed. The show is largely considered to have improved as a result. A retrospective on the Beast's tenure with WOW even skipped the match where she won the title from Tessa, though Tessa's name was not edited out of commentary during the matches that were shown, and a subsequent video package after the Beast's return showed her only in passing with no attention given to her.
  • Jessie Jones during part of the AXS TV seasons, after she introduced short-lived political aspects into her gimmick.
  • Kandi Krush, who was heavily featured in a lengthy and blatant retread of Princess Aussie's previous feud with Siren the Voodoo Doll and co. It got so bad that an overlong pretaped segment involving her trying to get her boxing gloves back from them in a haunted house was featured in full during one episode, causing a battle royal to determine the new WOW champion to only be shown in closing. After the storyline concluded, she was gradually scaled back on, mostly fighting newcomers to the promotion before turning heel in 2024.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: As is tradition in Professional Wrestling
  • Gloria Glitter's theme is a blatant knockoff of "(Let's Get) Physical" by Olivia Newton-John.
  • The Heavy Metal Sisters (Fury and Rebel Haze) enter to a JHV of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, which you may notice is NOT a heavy metal song.
