RXW

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

RXW (Reviewtopia Xtreme Wrestling) is a CAW League started by The Shades of Reviewtopia. The show features the roster of the site wrestling for titles relating to their subjects of review. It started off with Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 on the Nintendo Wii, until changing over to the Play Station 3 for episode 4. Episode 10 saw the series put on hiatus until early December when Shades posted on his Twitter that he received WWE '12 and that it would come back. The commentary team includes The Shades and Wrestlecast host Matty Jay as John Tague and Mikey McMgraw. The show was hosted on the Reviewtopia TV stream on Thursdays until its hiatus, where it was replaced by Reviewtopia Game Night.

Tropes used in RXW include:


  • Amazon Brigade: The RXW Amazons Division.
  • Ascended Fanboy: Bobbert33 and Megafighter3, both of whom have contributed to RXW (Bobbert donated money to help the Shades get a Play Station 3 and a copy of WWE '12 and Megafighter made a recreation of the RXW logo in the Create-A-Logo)
  • Development Hell: The announcement of RXW's return was made in December of last year, and after the announcement of the logo being made, nothing else came up.
  • Early Installment Weirdness: The first three episodes were done on the Wii and belts had not been fully established, meaning that people like Matty and Oancitizen would have belts that weren't actually RXW championship belts.
  • Finishing Move
  • Kayfabe: The announcers attempt to maintain Kayfabe by not addressing the stream chat and anyone in the chat who has a match remains silent until the match ends. The chat, in turn, acts like an audience, chanting and holding up signs. Along with that, wrestlers who join the stream will sell any injuries they got in the match, such as TJ acting as if he was still dizzy from a concussion from an earlier match.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: Some matches on shows are based on arguments reviewers have on videos or Twitter, such as Enigma and Il Neige having two matches based around the latter insulting Australians, pisssing off the former.
  • What Could Have Been
    • At one point, it was considered to have a match between Maffew and Spoony. But the RXW discontinued and Maffew left Reviewtopia before the match could materialize.
    • Detroit Mechworks and Demoversi never got to wrestle in the RXW during their time with Reviewtopia.
