10 Wrestlers Who Slapped The Leg (And You Never Noticed)

10. Kane

Though it's more broadly and infamously known today as the act of "thigh or leg slapping", multiple variations of the action have been snuck into the industry for decades. One of the most iconic, and largely overlooked, of these came straight from 'The Big Red Machine's arsenal upon first landing in Vince McMahon's company as the terrifying brother of The Undertaker.

Snapping his hand into his chest/shoulder at precisely the right angle and moment, ensuring the camera was rarely in a position to pick up on his trick, Kane would regularly leave audiences the world over wincing at the sight of one of his brutal uppercuts knocking stars of all shapes and sizes flat on their arses.

Being in complete control of the moment his punching hand seemingly connected with his opponent, while his other one secretly created the illusion of the piercing connection, Kane's legendary uppercut became a vital part of his move-set over the years.

Capable of popping crowds whilst teaming with Daniel Bryan, and forcing them to quiver in their boots during his menacing early days, this special slap helped gift the former WWE Champion with the power to captivate any crowd.
