1''WebVideo/HoganVsFlair'' was a comedy [[Wrestling/CAWLeagues CAW League]] that mainly uses ''[[VideoGame/{{WWE}} SmackDown: Shut Your Mouth]]'' to create shows to post on Website/YouTube. Matches typically just consist of two AI wrestlers (or more) going at it while commentators Joe Lexington and "Caveman" Carl Touretta suffer through the matches and make them entertaining. The most recent episode was posted on January 30, 2016.

6!!This series provides examples of:
7
8* TheAlcoholic: Scott Hall, to a CrossesTheLineTwice extent.
9* AnimeHair: Fistpasta's....interesting high-top.
10* ArtifactOfDoom: [[spoiler: The Hall of Fame Ring of Questionable Power]].
11* ArtificialStupidity: ''Lots'' of it, but sometimes taken to absurd extremes. In one match, Wrestling/RobVanDam climbs to the top of a ladder and does a frog splash off of it onto ''nothing'', hurting himself. He doesn't even miss the opponent he was aiming for, because there is no opponent anywhere ''near'' where he lands. Naturally, this is always mocked.
12* BigBad: Greenwich Vince for Seasons 2 and 3. [[spoiler: Hulk Hogan for Season 4]].
13* {{Bowdlerization}}: In-Universe. Team Weed cleans up a bit and changes the name to Team Spice to avoid The Federation's Drug testing...mostly.
14* CatchPhrase: Caveman has a number of one word catchphrases he'll use on commentary at the appropriate moments.
15-->"SUPLEX!" (After a suplex)
16-->"BOTCH!" (After somebody misses a move or otherwise fucks up. Including Joe saying something wrong.)
17-->"DEATH!" (After somebody gets hit with a ''really'' nasty-looking move.)
18-->"'''ATOMIC BOTCH!!!'''" (Reserved for when somebody fucks up ''tremendously'', like the RVD example in ArtificialStupidity)
19* CloudCuckooLander: Meat Stasiak.
20* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler: Steiner leaves Team Hogan and forms The Raftpac with Whackysting after Hulk Hogan's DemonicPossession]].
21* EnemyMine: Pretty much everybody versus The Federation nowadays.
22* EruditeStoner: Everybody in Team Weed.
23* FatBastard: Bubba the DJ. Perhaps Bowling Shirt, too.
24* GroinAttack: Multiple instances, but the the worst offender is the created wrestler King Of [=HotSoup=], who spends good portions of his first and second matches kicking his opponent in the balls over and over and over again. He also does it to TF British on the "Cirqus Deliqious" show. [[spoiler: It doesn't do him any good.]]
25* HeroicBuild: This trope being associated with WWE wrestlers is parodied by TF British and his ludicriously muscular self.
26* IAmVeryBritish: TF British.
27* {{Joisey}}: Fistpasta
28* NoEnding: The last match ever posted was an elimination cage deathmatch between H3, Fabulous Muta, Mr. America, and Ric Flair. It came down to Mr. America and Flair, and the screen went black due to a technical malfunction. ''Someone'' won but no one could see who, and that was the last show the channel ever posted.
29* NoIndoorVoice: Caveman.
30* OneManArmy: Wrestling/KevinNash is this in the "Kevin Nash [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Byo2CEIIzI Burial]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOAL6oQorSQ Gauntlet Match]]", which parodies the way Nash would book himself to never lose, including a EarlyBirdCameo from H3.
31* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Hulk Hogan after winning the Hall of Fame Ring of Questionable Power has become ludicrously huge]].
32* OverlyLongGag: Can happen every now and then.
33* RunningGag: "ANYONE! EVEN ''YOU''! CAN DO A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!" Variations on this phrase persist throughout the series any time somebody does a Russian Leg Sweep.
34** Though, amusingly enough, Sabu ''can't'' do one in Empty Arena 1.
35* ShoutOut: Several to {{Website/Botchamania}}.
36* TheGenericGuy: Parodied with DEFAULT, as it says, a default model for Create-A-Wrestler.
37* TheQuisling: [[spoiler: Ric Flair]].
38* TheScrappy: InUniverse: Some, shall we say, less-then-interesting wrestlers like Hardcore Holly, Val Venis, Maven, and so on, are often treated with scorn and dislike.
39** Interesting to note that Val Venis was eventually RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap when he won a match to get on Team Flair. Now he's Incontinental Champion and crushes H3 every show
40* TheStraightMan: Joe Lexington.
41** Sometimes though, his demeanor cracks and he is NotSoAboveItAll
42* SdrawkcabName: Kluh Nagoh, who's some kind of clone of Hulk Hogan.
43* StylisticSuck: The whole concept, but especially more apparent in the Empty Arena shows.
44* TestosteronePoisoning: Caveman appears to suffer from this.
45* VersusTitle
