What is Watch Wrestling Get Drunk?

Watch Wrestling, Get Drunk is a party game developed by Falling Whale Games that brings structured drinking rules to wrestling events. Designed for both hardcore wrestling fans and casual viewers, the game introduces a set of drinking challenges tied to the most exciting moments in a match.
The game works like a mix of a board game and a live-action drinking game. Players follow a set of wrestling-related triggers—like when a wrestler taunts the crowd, a finisher gets reversed, or a match ends in disqualification—to take drinks, shots, or even perform special challenges.
Originally launched as a Kickstarter project, the game has gained popularity among fans looking to make wrestling nights more interactive. It can be purchased through its official website or tracked on crowdfunding platforms like BackerTracker.

Wild and Hilarious Wrestling Drinking Game Variations

If you’re going to mix wrestling with drinking, you might as well go all in. Forget the basic sip-for-a-pinfall rules—let’s crank it up with some truly wild and ridiculous drinking game variations. These aren’t just about drinking; they’ll have you cutting promos, taking wrestling dares, and questioning your life choices the next morning.
The “Heel Turn” Betrayal Game
For players who love a little chaos.
- Before the game starts, every player secretly writes “Heel” or “Face” on a slip of paper.
- If you’re a “Face,” you must drink whenever a heel wrestler cheats, trash-talks the crowd, or attacks someone after a match.
- If you’re a “Heel,” you can assign drinks to other players whenever a babyface wins.
- At any point in the night, a “Face” can turn “Heel” by slamming their drink and announcing their betrayal in their best wrestling promo voice. After turning, they can start assigning drinks.
Bonus: If anyone pulls off a surprise heel turn (screaming, throwing a chair, or dramatically un-friending someone on social media), they get to skip their next drink.
The Vince McMahon Challenge
For players who love unpredictability.
- One player is designated as “Vince McMahon” for the night and has complete booking control.
- They can “fire” a player, forcing them to switch drinks mid-round.
- They can make a “last-minute script change,” reversing drink penalties between players.
- If actual Vince McMahon is mentioned on commentary, all players must take a shot and yell “You’re fired!” in their best Vince impression.
Bonus: If anyone gets “fired” more than once, they have to drink from a ridiculous cup chosen by the group (like a boot, a flower vase, or a cereal bowl).
The “Botchamania” Rule
For players who love trainwrecks.
- Every time a wrestler visibly messes up a move, all players take a drink.
- If the commentary team tries to cover up the mistake, take another drink.
- If the botch is so bad that the crowd chants “You f***ed up!”, finish your drink.
Bonus: If a referee botches a three-count (counting too fast or too slow), the last person to react takes a shot.
The “Drunk Promo Battle” Game
For players who think they have the best mic skills.
- Before each match, two players must cut a 30-second wrestling promo on each other.
- The rest of the group votes on the best promo. The loser must take a double shot.
- If someone breaks character mid-promo by laughing, they must drink immediately.
- If anyone accidentally sounds like Hulk Hogan, they must drink for 10 full seconds while saying “BROTHER!” after each sip.
Bonus: If a player wins three promos in a row, they earn the right to be “Champion” for the rest of the night and can demand one other player take a drink at any time.
The “Stone Cold Stunner” Rule
For players who love Stone Cold Steve Austin.
- Whenever a stunner is delivered in the match, everyone must shotgun a beer.
- If a wrestler refuses a handshake or flips someone off, take a drink.
- If a wrestler smashes two beer cans together, the last player to react must chug.
Bonus: If the glass-shattering sound effect plays (even in a promo package), everyone takes a shot and yells “WHAT?!” at the TV.
The “Royal Rumble Survival” Challenge
For players who want to last longer than most Royal Rumble entrants.
- Each player randomly draws a number (1-30).
- When their number enters the Rumble, they drink until that wrestler is eliminated.
- If their wrestler wins the Royal Rumble, they can assign shots to everyone else.
- If their wrestler loses in under a minute, they must finish their drink in shame.
Bonus: If a player correctly predicts the final four, they earn a “Money in the Bank” pass, which allows them to skip a drink later in the night.
The “Extreme Rules” Game
For players who want chaos.
- If a foreign object (chair, table, kendo stick) is used, take a drink.
- If a wrestler goes through a table, take a shot.
- If blood appears, the last person to react takes a drink.
- If a wrestler no-sells a devastating move, everyone yells “HOLY S*”** and takes a shot.
Bonus: If a match randomly turns into a hardcore match without warning, finish your drink in honor of ECW.
The “John Cena Can’t See You” Rule
For players who want to disappear.
- Every time John Cena’s theme music plays, everyone must stop what they’re doing and put their hands in front of their face like they’re invisible.
- The last person to do it takes a shot.
- If Cena actually loses a match, finish your drink because you just witnessed a rare event.
Bonus: If anyone in the group yells, “Let’s go Cena!” and someone else yells “Cena sucks!”, both must drink.
The “Undertaker’s Long Entrance” Game
For players with patience (and strong livers).
- Whenever Undertaker makes an entrance, start drinking when the lights go out.
- You cannot stop drinking until he reaches the ring.
- If it’s WrestleMania, good luck—his entrances take longer than some main events.
Bonus: If a wrestler imitates The Undertaker and sits up like a zombie, take a shot and dramatically rise from your seat in slow motion.
These variations take the wrestling-drinking experience from a simple game to full-blown mayhem. Try mixing multiple rules together, challenge your friends to outlast each other, and remember—drink responsibly, or you’ll be cutting promos to your toilet at 3 AM.
Where to Watch Wrestling While Getting Drunk
A drinking game is only as fun as the event itself, so knowing where to watch wrestling is key.
Best Streaming Sites for WWE & AEW
- WWE Network/Peacock – The go-to platform for WWE pay-per-views and past events.
- FITE TV – Ideal for AEW, indie promotions, and international wrestling events.
- WatchWrestling.ae – A fan-favorite site for catching up on recent wrestling shows.
Best Bars & Watch Parties for Drunk Wrestling Nights
If you’d rather watch wrestling in a social setting, some sports bars regularly show WWE events, especially big pay-per-views like WrestleMania and Royal Rumble. If no bars in your area show wrestling, hosting your own themed watch party can be a great alternative. Stock up on drinks, set up the rules, and invite friends over for a night of body slams and beer chugs.
Pro Tips for Surviving a Wrestling Drinking Night
- Pace Yourself – Wrestling events can run for hours, so don’t start chugging too early.
- Hydration is Key – Alternate between alcohol and water to avoid a total knockout.
- Eat Like a Wrestler – Load up on snacks and food to keep your stamina up.
- Drink Responsibly – Know your limits and never mix drinking with risky activities.
Wrestling is already an electrifying spectacle, but adding a drinking game turns every match into a high-stakes event. Whether you’re playing Watch Wrestling, Get Drunk or using DIY rules, it’s all about having fun, cheering for your favorite superstars, and taking part in the chaos.
Just remember—drinking games and wrestling may be a perfect combo, but attempting a suplex after a few shots is definitely not recommended.
