Line 15:
* [[Alternate Continuity]]/[[Fanon]]: Although it follows the broad elements of ''Burning Crusade'' and ''Wrath of the Lich King'', the comic's plot is radically different from the official story line. With ''Cataclysm'', the author openly stopped even trying.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Gorrok, who became a gladiator through a series of mischances involving Onyxia, terrible luck at dice, and a poorly timed use of the Bloodrage ability. Spin and Vallant would qualify except that they're so ineffectual that it's hard to label them "heroes".
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Parodied in the ''Cataclysm'' Tauren, who are so stubbornly militaristic that they sacrifice half their population in an attack on a door. That they had a key to open.
* [[Berserk Button]]: For Vallant, threatening Trevor ({{spoiler|or Leeroy}}). For Yolanda, harming Vallant.
* [[Bizarro Universe]]: The comic's version of ''Cataclysm'' turns Azeroth into this, with complete role reversals for the various races: Orcs are pacifists; Humans are moronic cannibals; Gnomes are nature worshippers; Tauren are militaristic; etc. The landscape and many major NPCs are similarly turned on their heads. Oh, and Teh Glads ''succeed in their quests''. Truly disturbing.
Line 54:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Gorrok, an actual Warrior and arena trainer.
* [[Pinball Projectile]]: Forms the basis of Vallant's [[Accidental Aiming Skills]], such as when he fires straight forward and somehow kills a Rogue sneaking up on him ''from behind''.
* [[Shout
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: Teh Glads bluff their way into Thunder Bluff in the ''Cataclysm'' arc by exploiting the Tauren guards' [[Literal Minded|Literal Mindedness]], as seen [http://www.tehgladiators.com/?p=175 here].
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Quoted literally by Arthas.
