WWE: 10 Best Drinking Games To Play When Watching Wrestling

6. A McMahon Return

Time Period: WWE 2004-05, 2007 onwards Rule: Drink whenever a part-time McMahon appears, two drinks if it is Vince McMahon, a shot for Shane McMahon. Bonus drink if Vince's night ends up in disaster. After Vince McMahon removed himself as a full-time television character following WrestleMania XX he tended to appear randomly to help boost ratings. Besides a couple of sporadic rivalries, he has remained a part-time character (with the exception of 2006) and so an appearance from him is fairly rare. What was common though was that many times that he made a return it ended in disaster for the Mr McMahon character. The infamous limousine explosion to kill of the Mr McMahon character (that was swiftly axed after the real life Benoit tragedy), the McMahon Millions stage collapsing and his returns being crashed by attacks from The Legacy and The Nexus respectively are just some examples. Slightly rarer appearances (before The Authority angle) came from Stephanie McMahon, usually in some way related to a Triple H storyline. She can also be seen with her mother Linda McMahon in the form of PR video packages thanks to WWE's association with the likes of Be A Star, their promotion of reading to children and general political things such as SmackDown Your Vote. The true rare sightings come in the form of Shane McMahon, who generally stepped away from the spotlight after the Attitude Era to the point that he has left the company to become a successful businessman elsewhere. And yes, any sighting of a McMahon baby (e.g. Shane's at the opening of WrestleMania XX) counts as a McMahon appearance. Worst Offenders: Fairly random

5. Commentator Tendencies

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMePGASYV28 Time Period: Any Rule: Drink whenever a commentator says something associated with them. Every commentator has catchphrases and tendencies, even if they are not deliberate. Michael Cole says 'Vintage' a lot and Josh Mathews references social media so much that the two became called out on it. Booker T created several phrases in the hope they would catch on ("Fave 5", "Shucky ducky quack quack", "D-Bry", etc.) but they ultimately failed. Jerry Lawler has an obsession with "puppies" whilst Vince McMahon's equally insightful "What a manoeuvre!" could be enough to make Joey Styles scream "Oh my god!". The king of the commentary table and catchphrase though is 'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross. He has so many phrases that he is deserving of a paragraph all of his own. Government mules, scalded dogs, slobberknockers and "by god" who could forget "Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold!" JR is always a welcome member of the broadcast team, but listening to him with these rules may make people think twice. This is without even mentioning the greatest commentary team of all time in Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan, one of the best colour commentators in Jesse Ventura and so many other commentators from various companies. And not forgetting the wrestling genius that was Mike Adamle... Worst Offenders: Jim Ross, Booker T, Josh Mathews, Mike Adamle bloopers
