1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Caged Heat's theme, which was the only one with lyrics.
2-->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri1aadv70og "LOCA! AND DELTA LOTTA PAIN! CAGED HEAT IS UNLEASHED!"]]'''
3* EnsembleDarkhorse: 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.
4* EvilIsCool: Beckie The Farmer's Daughter, "The Real Deal" Selina Majors and "The Total Athlete" Roxy Powers aside, a lot of the time the {{Heel}}s were better wrestlers and cooler than the {{Face}}s. 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.
5* FanficFuel: Its early demise spawned a lot of stories on the message boards.
6* NarmCharm: It was created by the same guy who created Wrestling/{{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.
7* RetroactiveRecognition:
8** Nikkita Lyons of ''NXT 2.0'' wrestled for the 2018 incarnation, using the ringnames [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Faith, Lioness and Faith the Lioness]].
9** Gisele Shaw of [[Wrestling/TotalNonstopActionWrestling TNA]] also wrestled for the 2018 incarnation, as Azteca and Reyna Reyes.
10* TheScrappy:
11** 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 [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]]".
12** Slam Dunk was hated too, due to being the worst wrestler in the promotion.
13** 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 EnsembleDarkhorse as a result.
14** Wrestling/TessaBlanchard 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. [[KarmaHoudini 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 [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty 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.
15** Jessie Jones during part of the Creator/{{AXSTV}} seasons, after she introduced short-lived political aspects into her gimmick.
16** 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.
17* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: As is tradition in ProfessionalWrestling
18** Gloria Glitter's theme is a blatant knockoff of "(Let's Get) Physical" by Olivia Newton-John.
