From The Art of Manliness, rules on the proper wearing of socks.

This is a rule that many people are confused about. I’ve heard numerous arguments about whether you should match socks with shoes or socks with pants. You should always match socks with pants because when you sit down and your socks are exposed, you want a solid line of color from your pants to your shoes. Socks that don’t match your pant color create a jarring break in your outfit. So black socks go with black pants and brown socks go with brown pants. Absolutely and under no condition should you ever wear white socks with dark pants unless you want to look like Steve Erkle or 1980’s Michael Jackson.

From here.

The rules:

One drink every time:
– Hulk Hogan addresses someone as “brother”
– A replay of a Gladiator talking shit is shown
– Wolf howls like an idiot
– The announcer makes a bad pun referring to a Gladiators name
– A fan has a sign devoted to a certain Gladiator as if they know who they are or care what they do

Two drinks every time:
– A Contender beats a Gladiator
– A Contender refers to their participation being a dream/honor
– A Contender gets wet
– A Gladiator refers to themselves in the third person
– One of the female Gladiators is referred to as being attractive

Finish your drink if:
– Hogan says, “OH, YEEAAAHH”
– A Contender hits the target in Assault
– A Contender knocks the Gladiator off the platform in Joust
– Anyone has to withdraw because of injury
– Someone actually makes it to the end of the hand-bike without falling off in the Eliminator
