The former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre recently had an interview with Forbes and shared his thoughts on leg slap ban in WWE. Drew McIntyre said that leg slap has become ‘blatant’ at times in pro wrestling and also explained how his claymore works, that doesn’t come from use of leg slap.
“For the general fans, if you’re good enough [at leg slapping] that you can do it—like a Shawn Michaels—then you’re not gonna catch it.”
“It’s become so blatant at times, that I think you’ve got to pick and choose your moments. But, when it comes to the Claymore—let me explain how the Claymore works—people said to me ‘you’re slapping your leg,’ that’s not the case with the Claymore.”
“When I raise my leg, and kick forward, you’e got a 6’6, 270-pound man jumping and kicking you. I’ve got a very strong shoulder, so when I’m throwing that kick and I also put some shoulder behind it, I’m just adding force. So, you see, it’s not really a leg slap for me, it’s just extra force.” – (H/T: Forbes)
