WrestleMania 32 will take place on April 3, 2016 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Once again this year, Pip, Mark and I will renew our feud with the most fearsome structure known to guys who pretend they’re much younger than they actually are… The Beeramid.
Starting way back with WrestleMania 25 Drinking game, we’ve chronicled our rules here on the site. I have to say it’s awesome to be able to look back at the drunk times we’ve had. While I can’t speak for Pip or Mark, I can tell you that I look forward to Mania weekend all year round.
Last year’s run at the Beeramid left quite a bit to be desired. Pip wasn’t feeling well and nearly didn’t make the trip to Cleveland. Mark had JUST welcomed a new baby boy to the mix so he was going on no sleep. All of this led to a smaller than normal Beeramid but we still had an awesome time working on it. The question as we gear up for this year’s attempt is this: Responsible nearly 40 year olds or… Return of the Kings? Time will tell. Regardless, we need some rules for this year’s event so here goes…
Starting with the WrestleMania 28 Drinking Game, we established some rules (10) for our game that would carry over from year to year and other rules (10 ish) that would be specific to that year’s Mania.
