Thumb Wrestling Federation: TWF is a television series of live-action shorts on the Nicktoons Network. It is about two rival thumb wrestling teams in the fashion of professional wrestling with its colorful characters and over-the-top emotions and antics. The protagonists, the Dexteras, keep their rivals, the Sinistras, from winning the TWF title. The wrestling bouts are hosted by two commentators, Colonel Cossack (a former TWF wrestler) and Dick Thompson (who are also thumbs).

Before its current state, the TWF was an honorable federation that was led by its older "wise thumbs," with TWF legend Newt Knuckle as its president. Everything was "thumbs up" in the TWF until a rookie thumb wrestler named Pageboy Skull came in and demanded a top spot in the TWF without working his way there or showing respect to any of the elder wrestlers, such as Newt Knuckle, Colonel Cossack (who is now a commentator for TWF), and Phineas D. Finger.

President Newt Knuckle swiftly denied Pageboy Skull his request, causing Pageboy Skull to revolt against the TWF. Pageboy Skull, who later rechristened himself Senator Skull, led a revolt against the TWF and formed a group of renegades called the Evil Sinistras, whose plan is to take over the TWF and the world. In response, a group of honorable thumb wrestlers called the Mighty Dexteras formed to defend the TWF from the Sinistras.

As a result of the split, some of the elder thumbs, such as Newt Knuckle and Phineas D. Finger, disappeared while the other elder thumbs, such as Colonel Cossack, simply retired. Now, the Sinistras and the Dexteras do battle on a weekly basis as they compete for the TWF Championship.
