Line 25:
* [[Death Is Cheap]]/[[Non-Lethal KO]]/[[Plotline Death]]: These tropes are mixed up in a rather schizophrenic manner. Defeated Arena foes may simply show up again for the next match, or they may be [[Killed Off for Real]]. It's also unclear which deaths in the main story are supposed to be permanent. Teh Glads themselves never seem to suffer anything more than a [[Non-Lethal KO]] no matter how much injury they take; but then there's the death of {{spoiler|Trevor}}. It's possible that this is deliberately making fun of the same tendencies in WoW.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Arguably, the ending to both the ''Burning Crusade'' Arena arc and the ''Wrath of the Lich King'' arc, as the former ends with {{spoiler|Vallant accidentally aggroing Illidan}}, and the latter ends with {{spoiler|every single raid boss in the game fighting against the Lich King}}.
* [[Disaster Dominoes]]: Expertly achieved by Vallant in the near total destruction of Booty Bay, [https://web.archive.org/web/20110113204311/http://www.tehgladiators.com/?p=38 here].
* [[The Ditz]]: Vallant and Leeroy.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Reversed. The Murlocs are named ''Sharon'' and ''Yolanda'', as Vallant finds out to his horror.
Line 31:
* [[Evil Twin]]: Death Knight Trevor, for Luke, sort of -- see below.
* [[Face Palm]]: Gorrok's favorite gesture of disgust for his companions' idiocy, with bashing his head against a wall as a close second.
* [[Funny Background Event]]: When Thrall and Bolvar are surveying the wreckage caused by X32A [https://web.archive.org/web/20101231123432/http://www.tehgladiators.com/?p=37 here], look at Thrall's horse. Also the [[Running Gag]] in the ''Cataclysm'' arc with the savage human chomping on Spin's hindquarters.
* [[Gladiator Games]]: The Arena, obviously.
* [[God Mode Sue]]: What the Scroll of Unconditional Victory accidentally turns Teh Gladiators into, in universe.
