WWE Hall Of Famer Says Leg Slapping In Wrestling Is ‘Embarrassing’

WWE Hall of Famer and current AEW senior advisor & announcer Jim Ross has called on wrestlers to stop leg slapping, calling it “embarassing”.

Speaking on the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Ross said:

“Those knee slaps are killing me. I’m so glad that people are paying attention to the leg slappers. Come on, that’s passe too. It’s like having these tope suicidas in every other match and no one ever wins with it. It’s just a spot. It’s the same category as a side headlock takeover. It’s a spot. It’s not new anymore. And for gosh sakes, fellows, ladies, whoever it may be. Stop the leg slapping, side slapping, ass slapping. Come on. It’s embarrassing to me. I know I’m old school and cranky sometimes, but geez. I don’t get it. I quit calling it. I don’t react well to the leg slapping enhanced audio.”

Leg slapping made the news recently after Randy Orton made a comment on Twitter following NXT TakeOver: In Your House, which ignited a bit of a war of words with Tommaso Ciampa, and it was reported Orton may have been interested in a match with the former NXT Champion.
