ABOUT
US
Several
years ago, our core group of friends were introduced to
the game of beer pong and instantly became hooked. The fun
way in which the sport combined drinking alcohol and socializing
added excitement to many of our house parties.
However,
after a while, we started to grow tired of the same old
“two people team up to face two other people”
format that is typical at most house parties and official
beer pong tournaments.
Most
of us were big fans of professional wrestling so we slowly
ended up creating wrestling-themed games as well as a few
other unique games in order to make our beer pong contests
more interesting. Eventually, we also bought some belts
to be won and defended as well. This was a gradual process
that took place over the course of a few months. Our wrestling-themed
beer pong games turned out to be a hit among all our friends,
even those who disliked actual pro wrestling.
After
several months of ongoing tag team matches, survivor series
matches, and championship belt defenses, the name World
Beer Pong Federation was coined and adopted among us. The
only thing left to do from here was to hold our own pay-per-view.
In
July 2006, the WBPF privately held its first pay-per-view,
jokingly titled “Pong-Per-View”. No
one actually had to pay to watch this event, we just called
it a pay-per-view to make it sound extra special. The event
was thoroughly enjoyed by all involved and resulted in several
new champions, and several dozen drunken people.
In
early 2007, we built on and topped the success of the original
Pong-Per-View, with the next PPV, entitled “The
Great American Beer Bash”. At the same time,
the WBPF website was created to spread a greater public
awareness of the wrestling approach to beer pong and increase
the enjoyment of beer pong players all over the world. That
is where we stand today.
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
So
what’s the deal with World Beer Pong Federation?
The
WBPF is a pro wrestling twist on beer pong as well as a
partial spoof of the WWE, TNA, and the old WCW.
Also,
we believe that playing beer pong with a pro wrestling twist
is superior to the traditional pro sports approach to beer
pong for the following reasons:
*
It allows us to play many different kinds of games instead
of always playing the standard two on two affairs.
*
Winning championship belts is more fun than winning trophies.
*
This format allows us to have a full-blown beer pong league
without the usual pitfalls. Most beer pong leagues force
you to play with the same teammate for the entire season.
In wrestling and the WBPF, teams change constantly. Also,
in traditional beer pong leagues, it is difficult to keep
statistics without a designated sober statistician as players
usually become too drunk to remember anything. In wrestling
and the WBPF, there is no need for stats at all, you are
either a champion or you are not, end of story.
Why
not call yourselves World Beer Pong Entertainment?
Because
the word ‘entertainment’ should never appear
in the name of any sports league, scripted or not.
Are
your matches fake?
No.
What
kind of matches do you guys play?
We
play standard beer pong matches and wrestling-themed matches.
You can read all about them in our MATCHES
section and we encourage you to try them out yourself. They’re
fun, we promise.
What
is your official stance on calling beer pong Beirut?
We
simply prefer to use beer pong as a universal term for the
game, with or without paddles. Most like it that way, that’s
why it’s the most popular way to go about it. Whenever
we talk about the paddle game, we’ll use the word
‘paddle’. Otherwise, we’re talking about
paddle-less beer pong.
I
know someone who trains for beer pong everyday hitting hundreds
of practice cups. He hits eight cups in a row on average,
and could totally kick anyone’s ass, including yours.
What do you say to that?
First
of all, that person is a major fucking loser for practicing
a drinking game (and yes, that’s coming from a guy
who put up a website about it). Secondly, the WBPF isn’t
solely about skill at sinking cups. We’re not interested
in watching or hearing about someone like that for the same
reason we are not interested in watching professional billiards:
It’s boring when you expect someone to make every
shot. Would hockey be any fun to watch if 97% of all shots
went into the net? Would anyone like football if 97% of
plays resulted in an offensive touchdown?
Have
you seen those Youtube videos where guys do trick shots
involving sinking a cup from 3 stories up, bouncing the
ball umpteen times off of walls, bar stools, chairs, before
finally going into the cup, etc.?
Yes,
we’ve seen many of them and we think they are all
cool and more power to those people who perform them. However,
it’s just not something we are interested in doing
ourselves. We’re sticking with our wrestling gig.
Are
you guys associated with any fraternity or college?
Fuck
no!
Would
it be a good idea for someone to create World Championship
Beer Pong, Extreme Championship Beer Pong, National Beer
Pong Alliance, Total Non-Stop Action Beer Pong, or something
similar?
We
won’t stop you. Just don’t be a dick and come
at us. This website is just for fun, not starting some sort
of “Monday Night Beer Pong Wars”.
Will
David Arquette ever receive a shot at your World Heavyweight
Championship?
You
never know…
