Thumb Wrestling Federation: TWF is a fun American TV show for kids. It's all about live-action thumb wrestling! You could watch it on channels like Cartoon Network in the US, YTV in Canada, and CBBC in the UK. It also aired on Kids' WB and Nicktoons in the US, plus other networks around the world.

The show features two groups of thumb wrestlers who are big rivals. They wrestle just like in professional wrestling, with exciting characters and lots of drama. The good guys are called the Dexteras. They wrestle against their enemies, the Sinistras. Their goal is to win the special TWF title. Two thumb commentators, Dick Thompson and Colonel Cossack, host the wrestling matches. The show started as a TV series and later became popular for toys and clothes.

How TWF Started: The Origins

Thumb Wrestling Federation: TWF was inspired by big wrestling shows like World Wrestling Entertainment. It first began as short videos. Later, these short videos grew into full half-hour TV episodes.

The Main Story: Good vs. Evil Thumbs

A long time ago, the TWF was a fair and respected wrestling group. It was led by wise older thumbs, including a legend named Newt Knuckle. Everything was going great until a new thumb wrestler, Pageboy Skull, arrived. He demanded to be a top wrestler right away, without earning his spot or showing respect. He didn't respect older wrestlers like Newt Knuckle or Colonel Cossack.

President Newt Knuckle said no to Pageboy Skull's demands. This made Pageboy Skull very angry, and he decided to fight against the TWF. Pageboy Skull changed his name to Senator Skull. He then created a group of rebel thumbs called the Evil Sinistras. Their plan was to take over the TWF and maybe even the whole world! To stop them, a group of honorable thumb wrestlers formed the Mighty Dexteras. They promised to protect the TWF from the Sinistras.

Because of this big fight, some older thumbs like Newt Knuckle disappeared. Others, like Colonel Cossack, retired from wrestling. Now, the Sinistras and the Dexteras battle every week. They compete to win the TWF Championship.
