Bret Hart Believes WWE Should Have Banned Thigh-Slapping Years Ago

Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on Mar 26, 2021

It was reported recently that WWE issued a new directive to their talent informing them that thigh slaps were banned from matches and also there would be fines for those who fail to obey the new rule.

WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart recently shared his thoughts on the ban during a virtual meet-and-greet with The Asylum Wrestling Store. Hart believes it is something WWE should've done a long time ago.

"I heard a few days ago that they outlawed or banned or nobody’s allowed to do the slap stuff anymore, and I’m like totally , they should’ve stopped that ten years ago. It’s slap, slap, slap, slap, and my brother Owen [Hart] was one of the guys that started a lot of that. He brought it to , he was one of the best at slapping his leg on spin kicks and stuff. But come on, enough is enough, in every match. You see guys do stuff and you’re going, ‘That wouldn’t even make a slap sound.’ When you punch somebody in the jaw, it’s not a slap sound. You know, it’s a different kind of sound and you’re making a slap sound for everything. Every single move you do is a slap sound, slap, slap and I totally agree. I’m glad they put their foot down on that but they’re like ten years late. They’ve already kind of in a lot of ways, sadly, ruined wrestling by making it so fake."
