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

Want to know why Randy Orton had such a problem with the likes of Tomasso Ciampa and co. overly relying on painfully obvious thigh slaps on the black and gold brand? It's because the 'Apex Predator' knows from experience how to correctly get the secret body smacking job done.

Though he'd mostly fall back on the horrific visual of someone's head being pretty much separated from their bodies upon first introducing the punt kick to his repertoire, Orton eventually began to introduce a bit of additional audible spice to really sell the impact of the move.

Determined to show the new kids on the block how it's done in 2020, Orton would brush off his kicking boots after some time on the shelf, frequently pulverising legends and modern day titans alike with perfect punts made possible by his precise pats to the quad.

Honestly, the Performance Center era of professional wrestling will largely be remembered as a dark time for all of us, but Orton's masterful ability to make each kick to the skull sound like a career-ender made those lockdown nights that little bit more endurable.
