During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com discussed the report that wrestlers are no longer allowed to use “thigh slaps” as sound effects in matches:
“This is what I was told, but it’s not like I’m gonna get an official [response] anyway. What I was told was at some point on a Smackdown show somebody did a leg slapping deal and Vince got mad because it was so obvious.”
“There’s a little sign [at Gorilla Position] that says: ‘do not slap leg when kicking.’ So that’s the instructions for the main roster. I don’t know if they’re gonna fine people, but they absolutely have a warning.”
