It's becoming more and more common, I've even seen KUSHIDA do it. Ricochet was the first guy in WWE I noticed doing it but now that I've mentioned it you're going to see it a lot from the most recent indie gen guys and women.

That's fukking ridiculous :dead:

You got Daniel Bryan looking like a BDSM slave with his chest all red with scars and these fukkers are slapping their thighs to get a bigger sound? WHAT? :dead:

When HBK did the superkick in the 90s, I'd always figure his leg slap was giving a little extra muscle ooph at the moment of impact :mjlol:

But when I see shyt like all of Gargano/Cole/Ciampa's offense or that running forearm rush Roderick Strong does :picard:

The article says it itself. Thigh slapping has been used for decades. Tajiri is known for it. Wasnt a problem then, isnt a problem now. Its a choreographed sport. If youre concerned about shyt being real, order the ppv on Saturday :yeshrug:

Nah breh, there's level to this shyt. You see an Adam Cole match and that shyt ain't what Tajiri was doing.

It literally is. Tajiri is better at it but it doesnt ruin the match for me. You cant call out one without the other

You can by the mere fact one is way better at it than the other, I don't even notice Tajiri's, I can literally see Cole's every cotdamn time. We all make fun and shyt on Shane McMahon's hilariously bad punching, if a good amount of wrestlers were doing it as bad as Shane then it would be an issue. Thigh slapping has gotten to that level of bad in a lot cases, imo.
