WWE Banning Thigh Slapping??

[O-Blaze]

The Observer reports that WWE is taking a hard stance against performers who use the thigh slapping technique to add sound effects when throwing kicks. The report states that there were rumors of WWE fining wrestlers for the tactic, with the company recently sending a memo down to NXT talents

Fightful Select added that while it can’t confirm wrestlers being fined, it can confirm that a huge sign reading No Thigh Slapping was up over all WWE events last week, and reports that the memo sent out to talent was sent back in February

Nah I'm all for this some NXT folk are BAD about it

I guess me not watching NXT is why I think it’s dumb. It adds sound and sounds good.

I could see this bein' way too noticeable with how a lot of NXT stars wrestle so I have no problem with removin' it. Even if this feels like a non-article.

Wrestlers slapping to add a nice smack sound when he superkicks someone has been a staple in wrestling for like forever.

Exactly. This is why I would hate it to be gone. It’s just something that adds to the matches

Saw someone post somewhere else how they are banning thigh slapping, but they'll still have the annoying camera work.

I don’t care either way. I get that it takes away realism from an already fake sport lol but it still sounded cool.

Stopping people slapping their thighs takes away realism?

I’m not really sure how to respond to this, this is just so hilariously ridiculous.

No it adds realism.

Super kicks are overused in pro wrestling, so if this ban leads to less super kicks than I'm all for it
