The series gained a bit of popularity when Extreme Warfare Deluxe was released, but gained an even higher level of fame when Extreme Warfare Revenge was released in 2002.
The series jumped from freeware to a professional product in 2004 when the first Total Extreme Warfare was released. The series soon changed its name to Total Extreme Wrestling.
Games in the Series:
- Extreme Warfare: The initial release of the series and reportedly very basic compared to what the series would become. Nine different versions were released.
- Extreme Warfare Deluxe: Coded entirely from scratch instead of using the code from the previous version. Enhanced the financial and game world.
- Extreme Warfare Revenge: The final version of the series to be initially released for free. Overwent four major revisions with minor changes along the way. Notable in that several actual wrestlers mentioned playing this game.
- Total Extreme Wrestling: Released via .400 Software for the 2004 version and with Greydog Software for 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2013, and 2016. Greatly enhances the game from Revenge, adding in more realistic development territories and more micromanagement when it comes to event times. 2005 was eventually made freeware to promote TEW 2008 and other games made by Ryland.

'Total Extreme Tropes':
- After-Action Report: A significant number of players run these, and references to some of the more popular and influential ones can be found in the game - see Ascended Meme below.
- And the Adventure Continues: The game can run potentially forever, with characters who retire from the game being replaced.
- Ascended Meme: A number of diary characters, gimmicks and aliases have been referenced in the official database.
- Author Avatar: A borderline example, as Tommy Cornell—a very famous and successful wrestler and promoter in the created universe—is named after an eFed character that Ryland once played.
- In Extreme Warfare Revenge, applying the 'Ryland Effect' gimmick to a wrestler essentially turns him into one of these. Naturally, it's the most over gimmick in the game.

- The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Several of the restrictions that apply to the player don't apply to the AI.
- Expy: Countless. Ryland has admitted that a number of characters were originally inspired by real life wrestlers, generally as composites rather than direct counterparts. For example, wrestler 'Paul Huntingdon' has his name and gimmick based on the young Triple H, but some of his stats and attributes are less, er...Levesque-esque. Threads debating who in real life may have inspired which character are always popular on the forums. There are, however, some obvious parallels, such as 'The Force' being based on Ultimate Warrior's in-ring gimmick and face paint. And in 2015, the Mexican luchador 'Hush' wears a skull-like mask and is infamous for targeting his opponent's throats...
- Fictional Document: Ryland has written a series of articles on the characters, promotions and history of the Cornellverse.
- Game-Breaking Injury: Just like in Real Life, there are injuries that can severely limit a wrestler's ability to work. You can expect to see someone never be the same after a long injury.
- Game Mod: Several for all iterations of the game, most of them being based on several earlier years in wrestling. The Alternate Universe mod iDomination is also fairly popular.
- Also completely fictional universes, including the GDS-Verse and the Thunderverse (the first mod officially approved by Ryland.)
- Holiday Mode: In Extreme Warfare Revenge having a show on a certain date such as Christmas, Valentine's Day and certain other holidays unlocked special angles that could only be used on that day. A non-holiday example was the creator's birthday, where a segment could be selected where he comes out and beats up a wrestler of your choosing.
- Just One More Level: Or show, in this case.
- Loads and Loads of Characters: More than 2,000 in the Cornellverse, which comes packaged with the game. Some mods contain much more than that.
- Named After Somebody Famous: 'Sammy Bach,' for instance, works a rock star gimmick and his name is a portmanteau of '80s rock icons Sammy Hagar and Sebastian Bach. There is even a wrestler (also working a rock star gimmick and one of the Cornellverse's most popular characters) who is named exactly after the late Cream bassist Jack Bruce.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat: The owners of the companies can impose some stringent hiring rules, quite apart from preventing you hiring anyone they don't like.
- Professional Wrestling: Simulates being the booker (matchmaker) and/or owner of a professional wrestling promotion.
- Pro Wrestling Is Real: One of the few wrestling games that subverts this. You choose which wrestler wins the match and how (in most versions).
- Retraux: The Death Of The Territories mod, set in a stylized version of 1983, comes with a graphic pack that gives the user interface a more '1980's Wrestling' feel. The normally red background is replaced with a wall of old promotional flyers and pictures from the era.
- Reference Overdosed: Adam Ryland is clearly a fan of classic rock, as well as the Buffyverse. For the former, there are a few examples already on this page, as well as the Eisen family and Steve Frehley, references to KISS members Paul Stanley (b. Stanley Eisen) and Ace Frehley respectively. For the latter, the wrestler 'Puffy the Sand Iron Player' rhymes almost perfectly with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
- Spin-Off: Ryland released two more similar games with sequels: Wrestling Spirit; a game in which Pro Wrestling Is Real and you control a single wrestler throughout his or her career; and World of Mixed Martial Arts.
- Status Quo Is God: The details may change, but the game world broadly remains the same from version to version for reasons of Competitive Balance.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: There are a few workers and federations that are clearly based off of current or historical things in the real world.
- Wide Open Sandbox: Dozens of companies, thousands of wrestlers, and lots of mods available to put players at almost any point in the last thirty years or so of the real world wrestling business.
- Writing Around Trademarks: Due to copyright issues, the freeware's habit of having a default scenario based off of the real world couldn't happen once the game went up for sale. Ryland responded by creating his own fictional world.

Extreme Warfare Revenge is an outstanding 'wrestling promoter sim' from Adam Ryland. This is not yet another arcade wrestling game where you watch guys in skimpy clothes duke it out on the stage: this is a realistic, detailed simulation of the wrestling business. As a budding promoter who just got started in the real-life world of wrestling where TV rating matters more than having good-looking guys in your staple, your job is to take your federation to the top of the wrestling world and keep it there. How good is the game? Well, suffice it to say that this is the very first wrestling game I enjoy, and not since playing Title Fight Pro Boxing back in 1994 have I enjoyed a 'sport promotion' game this much. But as I am far from being a wrestling expert, let's have the gurus at Talk Wrestling Online convince you of how much fun it is:
'Because of the 'Spreadsheet' type layout to the game, EWR's graphics are not it's big selling point. The layout of the menus takes the format of a red, white and blue colour scheme, which never causes any problems due to the fact that text clearly stands out from the background. The loading screens are filled with scantily clad women, wearing outfits so revealing they would make Kelly Brook faint. Apart from that though, there are no pictures to be found in the game due to copyright issues.
The game is great fun to play. You have complete control in EWR, and it's down to you who to push, who to sign, and who to fire. You have to try to take your federation to the top of the wrestling world (or keep them there, depending on what promotion you chose to run). To do this, you have to keep an eye on your finances and TV ratings. If you go out and hire the biggest names in pro wrestling for your federation straight away, you'll be lucky to last a month, due to the wages you have to pay. Instead, you have to start off with wrestlers you can afford, and build them into the new Hulk Hogans or Rocks. However, people won't tune into your TV show to see no name wrestlers- they want to see superstars, not rookies. If your federation is a success, you can choose to run monthly PPVs for extra income. However, the road to victory is not always smooth. Real life situations can hinder your progress. Wrestlers can show up late, turn to drink and drugs, refuse to do the 'job' to another wrestler they don't consider in their league. You have to manage your roster with care, or you might find yourself in a situation with an angry pool of talent, reluctant to go out and fight for the fans. Hiring staff to keep your wrestlers in order and do other tasks (E.g.- Medics, production workers, storyline writers) might help your federation, but they won't work for free.
Extreme Warfare Revenge Mac
You can do just about everything wrestling related in this game. TV networks and sponsors will offer you deals, but if your promotion is seen at 'extreme' or risky, your sponsors won't hesitate to pull out of the deal. You can donate money to charity to raise your public image. You can choose which belts to use in your federation, and add/delete championships as you see fit. Nearly everything is editable. Picking your commentators for each show may seem a simple task, but you have to think carefully. If you were a wrestling fan, would you watch a show if the commentators were awful? No, that's why Kevin Kelly's Metal does so poor every week. You can even choose what format you want your show report in- Do you pick the brief report of the Scotsman, the cynical approach of Scott Keith, the in-depth 'Steve in the 5th row was wearing a blue T shirt' style of CRZ? It's down to you, like the one thousand and one other options in EWR.
The game might be addictive, but it's not one hundred percent perfect. There is a lack of handicap matches and special referee matches. Sometimes a worker will refuse to work with another wrestler, even although they are above them on the card. If you don't have a show every week, you'll just find yourself pressing the Next Day button over and over. And conversely, if you have too many shows, it might get a bit repetitive just booking events non- stop. Aside from these minor faults, EWR is a superb game. It's 100% legal to download it for free, so there's nothing to stop you from giving this game a go. And believe me, it's worth it just for The Coach's Dance Of The Day!'
Suffice it to say that if all sport management games were as good as this underrated wrestling promoter sim, sports fans will never have a reason to complain again. Highly recommended.
