I swear I saw somebody slap their thigh for a headbutt.

Rhea Ripley does it lol. So does Drew for the Glasgow kiss but drew is a little more hidden with it... just like the thigh slap for the claymore isn't as visible as Adam Cole doing the shining wizard lol

 

[Ripp]

He is better at it but i also said I can still SEE BOTH. A man got "burned alive" two months ago but we cant suspend disbelief for a thigh slap? That shyt is weird breh

I hear you.. i think the super natural shyt is apart of the entertainment. Thigh slapping doesn't make me want to see matches. Its actually the opposite. But to each his own

 

[Ripp]

Naaaaa that recent one with Asuka was LEGIT



shyt which one?


Cuz that’s happened more than once

Lol I think it may have been vs Lars Sullivan in NXT.

"Do Not Slap Leg When Kicking" signs reportedly backstage at recent WWE Events - Wrestling Inc.

Earlier this week a report came out that WWE is fining wrestlers for “thigh slapping” whenever kicks are thrown in a match.

This is something that’s been done for decades as a way to add sound effects to the move. A memo was sent to NXT talent about the new rule and apparently that was it at the time.

Fans may remember when Randy Orton and Tommaso Ciampa had a back-and-forth last year on social media about the use of “thigh slapping.”

On Wrestling Observer Radio, it was reported “do not slap leg when kicking” signs were placed inside the gorilla position, just outside of the gorilla position, and elsewhere backstage at Friday’s SmackDown and Monday’s RAW. Dave Meltzer noted that also looks to be instructions for the main roster, but he wasn’t sure if fines were going to be enforced for them.

Apparently, a wrestler on SmackDown did an egregious leg slap that made Vince McMahon mad, and the new edict was made.

Vince might as well add sound effects to punches and kicks. He already got crowd noises piped in 100% of the time now so...
