History Trivia / VideoGameChampionshipWrestling

** The DDT variant known in the WWE games as "DDT 5" is known across the VGCW universe as the "ILLIDDT", thanks to Illidan's famous use of the move. [[labelnote:*]]The reason is because said move is what the game defaults to as a signature whenever a character who normally has a submission signature is put into a no-submissions match. As such, Illidan used the move a ''lot''.[[/labelnote]]

** The [[ComebackMechanic Hot Tag]] system is frequently wasted by the AI. Such instances are referred to as Cold Tags or Lukewarm Tags depending on the degree of success.

** It is not uncommon for a rollup pin to be reversed... and reversed... and reversed again, over and over, until the rollup breaks or someone reaches the three count. This is referred to by the fans as an "Obamaroll", due to a particularly infamous example in a match between UsefulNotes/BarackObama and [[Franchise/StreetFighter Guile]]. In the ''Female Division'', fans will refer to First Lady Michelle Obama instead. VladimirPutin was also referenced in this way when [[TeamFortress2 The Heavy]] got caught in one of these sequences.

* ColbertBump: The GiantBomb hosts are big fans of the series, and an interview with Bazza gave End Game 7 a very noticeable bump, with the stream hovering in the 3,000-3,500 viewers range for most of the night.
** This actually happened once before: an article on VGCW, also on Giant Bomb, gave the famous rematch of 32-5 the highest viewer count in VGCW's history, with over 4,000 viewers.

** [[{{Creator/THQ}} #THQ]][[TakeThat uality]] is used to refer to any time the game bugs out or displays ArtificialStupidity. The other versions are #[=BazzaQuality=], which is what happens when Bazza just screws up on his own, and #[=BrynQuality=], when Bryn of the ''Female Division'' makes a mistake.

** [[VideoGame/MegaMan Proto Man]] is often referred to as "Glitchman" due to the tendency of the stream to start stuttering during his matches. Oddly, this usually happens when he's losing, and when the stuttering is over, Proto Man has reclaimed his momentum.

** [[Anime/DragonBallZ Vegeta]], due to his horrible tendency to lose most of his matches despite his high stats, is more often referred to as [[{{Jobber}} Jobgeta, Vejobber, or other nicknames along those lines.]] Since debuting [[RealMenWearPink a new outfit]] and theme, he's since started showing much more potential.
*** And has earned himself a much more popular nickname: The Badman

** Thanks to a new CAW that makes him look more like [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Blue]], and having astonished the fans with seven eliminations in a Royal Rumble (including ''Gaben''), [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Gary Oak]] is being referred to by some fans as "[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Mega]] Gary".

* CreatorBreakdown: In Season 4 as the result of a ''huge'' InternetBackdraft. The audience was hoping that they'd get a champion other than Barkley in the King of the Ring tournament to decide the new champion [[spoiler:after Vegeta's HeroicSacrifice]]. When Barkley did in fact get his title back, the fans ''rioted''. It got so bad that Bazza put his foot down and threatened to '''cancel''' VGCW entirely. He eventually settled for finishing Season 4 and then planning a month-long break before Season 5. Fortunately, the fans seem to have learned and there have been no such incidents since, despite some unpopular results like Illidan winning Star Road.

* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: Fans used to submit character suggestions [[http://vgcw.wikia.com/wiki/Character_Suggestions on the wiki.]] As July 2013, twenty suggestions (nine male, eleven female) have made their debut. Unfortunately, they had to stop accepting suggestions and will now only accept CAW submissions on the forums.

* Defictionalization: The creators of ''VideoGame/{{Octodad}}'' (the game) are apparently fans of the show and included a poster in ''Octodad: Dadliest Catch'' displaying the ''VGCW'' logo and mentioning tryouts at the bottom (though the poster has VG stand for Virtuous Gentlemen). In other words, the ''entire show'' is canon in the ''Octodad'' universe.

** [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Sabin]] is called the Suplex Train, both for the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRw_qW9ecTo obvious reason]] and for his tendency to use suplexes almost to the exclusion of anything else.
