The following below are characters from the show Thumb Wrestling Federation.
Dexteras
A wrestling team and the main protagonists. Good wrestlers with the power to defeat the Sinistras.
Vini Vidi Victory
Originally a rebellious wrestler from a bad environment, Vini was once part of a rowdy gang that oppresses anyone inferior in their vicinity, he is the protagonist of the cartoon series. Upon entering a gym, Vini rejuvenated himself and became devoted in protecting defenceless individuals. He then founded the Mighty Dexteras and became its leader. He's signature move is the Vini Vidi Vada Voom. With it, he strikes the opponent left and right three times before pinning them. He was active in the first and second season but didn't participate in the third. His name is somewhat based on Veni Vidi Vici, the Latin version of Julius Caesar's quote . He is portrayed by Wayne Grayson.
Hometown Huck
Hometown Huck is a fighter from Omaha, Nebraska. Prior to his wrestling career, Huck helps others or called numbers at bingo games. When entering the arena, he has a way of greeting other by calling out names of places (e.g. countries or cities). Huck, along with Vini Vidi Victory, also serves as a judge for newcomers who wish to join the Dexteras. Portrayed by Christopher Kromer.
His signature move is the Hometown Shuffle. he winds up and then lands blows on the opponent in a fanciful way every time his fans utter the name of the move, and then ultimately pinning the opponent. In a match against Bucks Gazillion, it is shown that Huck can't perform the Hometown Shuffle without fan support (Bucks silenced them by giving ice cream, thus resulting Huck's defeat). He was the winner of the inaugural TWF tournament.
Mr. Extremo
Jimmy Median, best known by his screen name Mr. Extremo, was once an individual who only possessed ordinary qualities. Because of this, his friends made fun of him. One day, he made a name of himself when he accidentally stepped on a skateboard causing him to go airborne. Thus, he won his friends' respects. Mr. Extremo engaged himself in extreme sports and later entered the TWF.
His face looks pretty much like a musician of a heavy metal rock band. His specialties in the ring include flying by using his jet pack. He made his debut in the second tournament as well as winning it. He is also the only wrestler to win more than one tournament, having won the Season 4 tournament as well. Portrayed by Sean Schemmel.
Face-Off Phil
Face-Off Phil formerly was hockey player from Canada. He was then recruited by the Dexteras who were impressed by his performances and assumed he would make a good wrestler. He also has a 'habit' to enrage when someone insults him by insulting his country Canada, a hockey Sport, his weird accent, and by calling him 'hot-head' due to his hyperactive personality. He is the second wrestler to have a face that's patterned after a flag, which in this case the Canadian flag (the first one being James Montgomerie Flag whose face is patterned after the American flag).
One of his super moves is the Manitoba Mauler which is composed two straight punches and a downward punch before pinning the opponent. Another one is the Slap Shot Slammer that's performed by projecting four hockey pucks onto the opponent using his hockey stick (Senator Skull once emulated this move in a match).
Portrayed by Sean Schemmel.
Wasabi
Wasabi is an individual who excels in poetry. Not so popular in school, most students wouldn't socialize with her. Therefore, she spent most of her time writing in her journal. Overtime, her literature skills, particularly in poetry, picked up. Upon reciting some of her works on stage, she at last gained some attention. For some reason, she joined the Dexteras.
As a wrestler, her signature move is called the Best Poem Ever which she whispers into the ears of an opponent. Although the words of the poem were never revealed, its positive meaning can incapacitate any foe (except Senator Skull and Dwayne Bramage, they're immune to it) through fascination for a limited amount of time, allowing Wasabi to attack with ease. It's also hinted that Pinky has a crush on her, and ironically most of her matches are not won by 100% from herself. She won most matches because of Pinky's help or luck. Her name is a reference to a hot and spicy vegetable from Japan. She was voiced by Erica Schroeder.
Danny Kaboom
Danny is the explosives expert of the Dexteras. He specializes in bombs and explosives. He was bested by N Fuego and Queen Nefercreepy in the second and third tournament.

Because of this, Big Star tries whatever he could to win his relative's respect. In his TWF debut which was in the second tournament, Big Star nearly defeated Evil Ira as a result of being immune to the hypnotic rays. But before he could pin him, which the traditional way of securing a win, The Big Time knocked him down using a chair. Thus giving Evil Ira and easy victory. He was last seen participating in a game show where he still end up losing. Big Star is portrayed by Walt Gardner.
His signature move is the Star-Spangled Slammer. It is mainly named after the Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the United States. With it, he moves rapidly in circles and lands a powerful punch capable of sending opponents to the canvass in one blow.
Dorsal Flynn
The Dextera Comedian but is awful at telling jokes.His signature is the Blowhole. He will blast water from his microphone which will cause a torrent of water, possibly drowning his opponent. Dorsal Flynn has a habit of saying "see" in the middle or in the end of his sentences, showing that he could be based on comedian Bill Cosby. He is also a TWF interviewer.

Sinistras
A wrestling team and the main antagonists. Bad team that has the power to defeat the Dexteras.
Senator Skull
Vincent Arthur Skullberg, also known as Senator Skull, was once a simple student at school in the state of Florida, he is the main antagonist of the cartoon series. After being toyed several times by delinquents, he trained hard to become a fighter and eventually exacted vengeance against them. Still not satisfied by this, Senator Skull established the Evil Sinistras, a society of rebellious wrestlers who go by principles different from those of the TWF.
When he once lead the Sinistras, he had plans to bring down the Dexteras and rule the planet. But his chances of achieving them are often slim because his camp is often in turmoil (the other Sinistras have no interests in world domination). He quit in Season 3 after using a weather machine against Face-Off Phil, he says it's Canada. He then become the Sinistras' coach. His reign as leader ended when Bucks Gazillion, who won the third tournament, took charge by bribing all his comrades. In Season 4, at the championship, Senator Skull serves as the protagonist with the other Sinistras to stop Bucks and remove him to the position. Skull fights in Season 5 and takes out Pierre Pamplemousse and Mr.Extremo(rematch), but loses to Cleat Cunningham in the semi-finals.
One of his two signature moves is the Skull's Revenge Shocker, an attack where he pins down an opponent and then electrocuting them using power from within him. The other one is the Super Skull. Much of this isn't revealed because it was deliberately censored for some reasons. But upon executing the move, the area looks as though it was visited by a hurricane, and a thick mist starts of cover. Senator Skull once used this in a match against James Montgomery Flag and the Stash.
The Big Time
The most popular of the Sinistras, The Big Time is well-known for his charisma and street cred. He has the number 12 embedded on his mask and has a moustache that look like hands of a clock. Very durable, some wrestlers find it tiring when it comes to landing blows on him. When he isn't wrestling, The Big Time serves as the trainer for the Sinistras in their headquarters. He is proven to retire in Season 4 after beating Pierre Pamplemousse because Steve threw a chair at Pierre while the Time Bomb was being used (which The Big Time did not like at all).
His signature attack is The Time Bomb. There, he swings left and right as his fans count backwards from 5 to 1. Upon pinning the opponent, an explosion occurs (hence the red mushroom cloud). Though very destructive, a least two wrestlers, Hometown Huck and Tom Cat managed to continue fighting after receiving it (although Tom Cat had help from Pinky, Hometown Huck had no help at all). He is voiced by Keith Dawkins (Seasons 1 and 2) and David Wills (Season 3). Many fans[who?] think Big Time may be based on the Big Show in WWE.[citation needed]
Bucks Gazillion
Appearing in the third tournament, Bucks Gazillion is a billionaire businessman and the new leader of the Sinistras as he is the main villain at Seasons 3 and 4. He is a clever tactician who uses money and other deceptions to outsmart opponents. Bucks also won the season 3 tournament by luring away the Dexteras and the referee to have many Sinistras gang up Face-Off Phil, paving his way to an easy victory. However, he doesn't have a desire to rule the world by winning the TWF, but instead making TWF part of his company, Gazillion Incorporated. He becomes the main antagonist on Season 4. Later in season 4, he helps the Sinistras win all their matches, but in Wasabi vs Itsy Bitsy, Unit 19G vs Corbata and James Montgomery Flag vs Big Bad Billy Goatetsky, his plans fail, and the Dexteras win those matches. He had his comeuppance in the Season 4 final when his big plan to win the title through the Visitor such as flying skateboard, obstacles, net and a metal claw, but Billy Batboy got some blueprints and they go to the ladies bathroom and to the control room. The Sinistras fight Steve and the other men and they enter the control room. The Big Time destroy the plan by smashing the "Gazillion Inc." Themed Circuit, causing it to explode and Senator Skull now removes Bucks out of position and he is no longer leader or member of the Sinistras and he is banished away from TWF by Senator Skull. Could possibly be based on the Million Dollar Man. He never lost until he fought Gary the Intern in Season 6. Ted DiBiase. Voiced by Marc Thompson.
Steve
Steve is Bucks Gazillion's assistant who serves as a back-up from outside the ring. While his master wears the dollar sign behind the head, Steve wears the cent symbol in the same location. Probably best known through his phrase "Right on, boss" though in one fight it was "Gotcha, boss." He is yet to fight in the ring. Steve is possibly based on Virgil The Million Dollar Man's assistant portrayed by Marc Thompson.
Evil Ira
Evil Ira has three eyes, a Finnish accent, and magical powers. He was then selected to become a member of the Dexteras. Though he preferred to be called Good Ira, the named was owned by someone else (see info below) and that it became suggested he be addressed as Evil Ira. After winning a few matches in the first tournament as a Dextera, Evil Ira surprisingly decided to join the Sinistras for unknown reasons(after he defeated N Fuego,when he dropped a piano on both N Fuego and the ref). Evil Ira's powers hypnotizing opponents using mystic energy from his third eye. He can summon objects to fall from above.

N Fuego
N Fuego is a wrestler with a Spanish accent and is a skilled dancer. His dance moves generate heat that puts opponents at his mercy. He's active in the first and second tournament but only seen at the sidelines in the third. However, he returned in the 4th Season, beating Face-off Phil in the quarterfinals, then to be beaten by Mr Extremo in the semi-final. He made an appearance in season 5 where he was bested by Knockout Ninja. He was shown in Wasabi's bio in the beginning as he dances with the school kids. He also has the same school as Wasabi. After Itsy Bitsy and The Big Time quit, he may be promoted to second in command. He is portrayed by Javier Jimenez.
Itsy Bitsy
Itsy Bitsy is half-spider/half-thumb and speaks with an Italian accent. To attack rivals with ease, Itsy Bitsy traps them in a web that very difficult to break out of (Hometown Huck was able to escape in one episode). Her name is a reference to a nursery rhyme called The Itsy Bitsy Spider. She quits in Season 4 after Corbata loses to Unit 19G (the match after she lost to Wasabi). However, Itsy returned and defeated Gary the Intern in Season 5. She went into the quarterfinals against new Dextera, Cleat Cunningham and lost. Portrayed by Erica Schroeder
Queen Nefercreepy
Making her debut in the third tournament, Queen Nefercreepy (a parody of Queen Nefertiti) is a 4,500 year old Egyptian queen with divine powers. As a ruler, she takes the services she receives very seriously and would put a curse on her servants even if what they do is just slightly flawed. Her powers include dropping pyramids from the sky, summoning sand storms and even crocodiles. She has achieved victories over Danny Kaboom and Milty the Clown but her winning streak was put to a stop by Face-Off Phil. She later returned next season and beat Gogachog but later lost to Mr. Extremo. Portrayed by Vibe Jones.
Scoutmaster Scott
This Sinistra Scoutmaster is head of the Cookie Scouts, who are like the Boy Scouts, but evil. They make the worst cookies ever, and it was revealed Scott knew this, and only fought Pei Pei so he could win and force the Porpoistanis to make the cookies instead. Despite always being angry at them, he relies on his scouts during fights, particularly during his Season 4 match against Face-Off Phil where he had them trap the Canadian in a net. He's very prone to losing his temper, and is yet to win a match, though it is unknown whether he will return after quitting in Season 4. Scott returned in Season 5 and got his first win against Tom Cat. Voiced by Sean Schemmel
Captain Carpal
As a lad, Captain Tiberious Carpal had a desire to become a pirate. After being quite a trouble in school, he travelled the seas to fulfil his ambition.

Making his return in the third event, he bested Knockout Ninja by using his signature move, a cannon. He later returned to season 4 and lost to Ms. Fitwell. Portrayed by Marc Thompson.
The Cheetah
The Cheetah is a sneaky female wrestler from the state of New York. As a pupil in school, she would often look at the answers used by her seatmates during exams. Before her fellow students could tattle, the Cheetah would pull a string causing heavy objects, primarily anvils, to drop on them (this is a trick she also uses as a wrestler). Upon graduating, she met the Sinistras who welcomed her to their team. In the TWF, she has a trick to put opponents out of composure by insulting/making jokes about them, which was a useless strategy against Face-Off Phil that only makes her beaten up and lose by joking about his Canadian Accent. She has only been active in the second tournament and was since only seen at the Sinistra headquarters in the Season 3 short "Ordering Out" . Portrayed by Vibe Jones.
Billy Batboy
Billy Batboy is a fighter who lacks fighting spirit and is fond of bats. His first match was in the first tournament where he took on but lost to Wasabi. He fought for the second time which was in the third tournament only to be bested by Hometown Huck. In the fourth season, he was the cause of the failure of two of Bucks' plans and even helped out Senator Skull's plan for revenge in Season 4 by stealing blueprints for Bucks' BIG plan.
His best move is summoning a giant bat to attack the opponent. Although this attack was in vain in the match against Wasabi, it was successful in the ring fight against Mahi Mahi Mindy. Voiced by Ben Masten
Cheeko Rojo
Cheeko Rojo is one of the sneaky henchman since Season 1. Helping N Fuego in his match against Unit 19G. The thing is, he was the sneaky one and helping the retired Senator Skull.

He also crushing the Ref because of his interesting plan devours at all.
Big Bad Billy Goatetsky
Big Bad Billy Goatetsky is an old goat Sinistra from Wisconsin. When he was a child he lost his parents at The Vilas Park Petting Zoo. He then resorted to living with the goats of Vilas Park. He was quickly mistaken for a real goat so kids often petted him. He then started to hate children and started ramming them. He lost to Mr. Extremo in season 2 and lost to James Montgomery Flag in season 4. He is the grouchiest wrestler of them all. Portrayed by Ben Masten
Sick Vick
Sick Vick is the sickest wrestler in the TWF, afflicted with a "uncommon cold" as just one of his many symptoms. In Season 3, he beat Miss Fitwell after grossing her out when he sneezed too hard and turned himself inside out! (Beforehand, he'd coughed up his own lungs). In Season 4, he was afflicted with chickenpox. With the help of camomile lotion and a dog catcher (curtosey of Bucks), Vick was able to defeat Weredog. He was also present at the Season 3 short "Ordering Out", vouching for Chinese Food, before being hypnotised by Evil Ira to want Pizza instead.
