*** KickTheSonOfABitch: However, Bateman quickly pays [[AssholeVictim Ghai]] back in kind by gaining a KO victory over him at the Houston Live Event and, after Ghai unsuccessfully attempts to hit him with a chair, takes the same chair to knock him out cold.

*** The third iteration consisted of Rocha, Murrell (who had won back the Singles belt by this time to become a three-time champion), Reilly, Bateman, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Tom Dagnino]]. Despite serious reservations, Rocha relented to Reilly, who wanted his new partner and manager in the faction, and allowed Bateman and Dagnino in about midway through season 6. Shockingly, this iteration would be the most successful. They had a rough start with Murrell losing the belt to Paul Oyama and Bateman losing a match to Mike Kalinowski that would've earned him a number one contender's match. However, things soon turned around with Rocha and Murrell, now teamed up as the Founding Fathers, winning the Teams belts from Korruption after Dan cashed in his Free-4-All title match; defending those belts at the Spectacular; Bateman winning the Singles tournament; and him ultimately winning the Singles belt from Oyama at Spectacular, leading to the greatest success the faction ever experience before it folded into the Finstock Exchange.

The Movie Trivia Schmoedown is a movie trivia-based competition series currently airing on the [[https://www.youtube.com/user/schmoesknow Schmoedown Entertainment Network]] Website/YouTube channel, previously airing on the Collider Videos channel. It features legitimate trivia competition, but also features Wrestling/{{WWE}} style storylines and characters. The show was founded by the Schmoes Know, Kristian Harloff and Mark Ellis. The competitors answer movie trivia questions from an array of randomly selected categories and receive points for correct responses. The competitor with the most points at the end of each match wins, sometimes mathematically eliminating their opponent prior to the final question or round. There are four leagues: Singles, Teams, Innergeekdom (which revolves exclusively around nerdy film franchises such as the Franchise/{{Marvel Cinematic Universe}}, Franchise/{{Harry Potter}}, and others), and Franchise/StarWars. Each division has a champion and rankings/tournaments to decide who will next challenge for the belt.

* SpecialGuest: Actors of various degrees of celebrity will compete, usually to promote a film or show, or in rare instances as regular competitors, like former Singles/Teams champion Samm Levine from ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' and ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'', and former StarWars Champion Sam Witwer from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' and ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''.

* SuddenDeath: If competitors are tied at the end of a match, they go into a Sudden Death round. Though the exact rules have changed over the show's run, the current version of Sudden Death has the competitors answer questions just like in the first round with the first competitor or team gaining a lead winning the match. Regardless of how many repeats each competitor had remaining at the end of the match proper, they are each given one to use for the entirety of the Sudden Death round.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Roxy Striar delivers one to Ben Bateman at the Chicago Live Event after the Odd Couple defeats Who's the Boss.

* BadFuture: A future version of Bibbs, complete with an eyepatch and sword, travels back in time to Sneider's postgame interview after he defeats Rocha to tell him that they (Bibbs and Sneider) have to face off against each other in a number one contender's match, or else [[KillEmAll everyone in the Schmoedown will die]], which Sneider readily accepts. Outside of kayfabe, [[MundaneMadeAwesome this was Bibbs' way of cashing in the contender's match he earned for being that year's Free-4-All MVP.]]

The current champions for each of the four divisions are (as of July 29, 2022):

* '''Teams Championship''': King Arthur ("Downtown" Griffin Newman and Jeffrey "King" Kan)
* '''Innergeekdom Championship''': Robert "The Spider" Parker
* '''Star Wars Championship''': None (Belt was vacated after "The Major" Thomas Harper announced he would step away from competing)

** The most prominent example in a three-round match, or any match ever, occurred when the Odd Couple KO'd Only Stupid Answers after their turn in the second round ''[[UpToEleven before Only Stupid Answers could even spin the wheel and answer a single round two question!]]''

The current champions for each of the four divisions are (as of June 24, 2022):

* '''Innergeekdom Championship''': Kevin "The Smasher" Smets

The current champions for each of the four divisions are (as of May 27, 2022):

* '''Teams Championship''': Shazam (William "The Beast" Bibbiani and Brendan "The Kid" Meyer)

** At Spectacular VI, Kate Mulligan follows Thomas Harper's successful defense of the Star Wars championship (the only belt that the Den won all season) by dropping ''her entire faction'', leaving only Harper, who retired the following season and vacated the belt, and Saul, who wasn't happy about it and left anyway.

The current champions for each of the four divisions are (as of May 20, 2022):

* '''Innergeekdom Championship''': Mike "The Killer" Kalinowski

The current champions for each of the four divisions are (as of March 25, 2022):

* '''Star Wars Championship''': "The Major" Thomas Harper

* FullBodyDisguise: "Geoff" arrives for the teams match against Peggy Gubbins and The Survivor in a plastic mask and enough layers for the Arctic, using a voice changer and strange mannerisms decidedly uncharacteristic of [[spoiler:Dan Murrell]].

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Finstock wears these every now and again and you can bet that they will be commented on whenever he does, particularly how noticeable his privates are. PlayedForLaughs after Who's the Boss defeats Korruption in their postgame interview:
-->'''Bateman:''' "[[{{MaliciousMisnaming}} Jessica]], we're winners, okay? I'm a winner, this guy's a winner ''[in reference to Reilly]'', Kal's a winner, his ''balls'' are winners, okay?!"
-->'''Finstock:''' "A proven winner."
-->'''Bateman:''' "This match showed us everything you needed to see."
-->'''Jenn:''' [[DeadpanSnarker "...I didn't need to see those."]]
** Sneider wears them in the Odd Couple's match against Shazam, to which Ellis comments that [[FanDisservice he hopes that Sneider doesn't do any squats]], which [[{{Troll}} he proceeds to do]] before taking his seat.
--->'''Andreyko:''' "And as I would like to say now, [[DeadpanSnarker I'm now straight.]]"
