  • Awesome Ego: Ross Tweddell may have ditched the "King" moniker (along with the gaudy regal attire) after leaving WhatCulture, but he still has that unmistakable snark.
  • Awesome Music: The full version of "What Happened to That Wrestler?" is honestly amazing, considering Adam Pacitti's fairly mediocre singing voice, just because of the sheer number of rhymes he managed to work in from beginning to end.
  • Base-Breaking Character:
    • Again, Ross; viewers find him and his collection of catchphrases to be either hilarious and entertaining, or downright annoying.
    • Tom Campbell. While he's mostly been quite popular for his sunny disposition and obvious love of wrestling, you'll probably find at least one comment on most videos he's in (and even some he's not) from people who find him obnoxious and annoying, or accusing him of being too much of an attention seeker.
  • Fandom Rivalry: After the split-up, with WhatCulture Wrestling. For obvious reasons. More recently with the WrestleTalk podcast team, as well.
  • Ho Yay: In their 2019 Secret Santa video, Maffew has his arm around Tom. This is never commented on or explained.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • Anything that comes from Ross.
    • Adam's "Randall Keith" song whenever he comes up in ranking videos.
  • Moment of Awesome: Ranking every WrestleMania match ever. Every. Single. Match. That's 383 matches up to and including the final match at WrestleMania 36. It's their longest video ever at over five hours long. Lord knows just how much time they spent editing this behemoth of a ranking video and having to write such a long script for Adam Pacitti to read for even more hours on end, and all to get it published in time in the week before WrestleMania 37.
  • More Popular Spin Off: Because it's composed of five (now four) of its past key members, many see it as the better one over WhatCulture Wrestling. It also arguably helps that they focus on highlighting the best of wrestling, rather than snarking about it like most WhatCulture holdovers not named Simon Miller.
  • Never Live It Down:
    • Maffew of Botchamania once, on a podcast, mentioned that his mom's boyfriend (or, as he memorably put it, "the guy who was shaggin' me mum") brought Maffew and his brother a wrestling video game to get on their good side, and also to give them something to do while he and their mother got some private time. As Maffew has ruefully remarked, he meant it to come across as something nice and relatable for the audience and his fellow podcasters, but it turns out no one can relate to that, and he's endured constant jokes about it ever since.
    • During the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United Kingdom, when the country went on lockdown and Pacitti was doing livestreams from his flat, he ate a cat treat. Cue viewers on every subsequent livestream demanding that he eat more cat treats on camera.
    • Jack the Jobber lost a contest that would've required him to take a laptop computer to an Italian restaurant and use it to pretend to chat with someone while eating his meal. Between the outbreak of COVID-19 and his own neurotic fear that everyone there will be really offended and judgmental, Jack hasn't gotten around to doing it even years later, and both fans and his fellow commentators regularly remind him about it and mock him for not doing it.
