10 Wrestlers Who Slapped The Leg (And You Never Noticed)
6. Drew McIntyre
It may have entered him into the secret leg-slapping hall of fame, but Drew McIntyre's decision to flounder less and Claymore formed the building blocks for a career resurgence too.
After altering a running big boot due to his 3MB leather pants being too tight, and knocking himself out in the process, 'The Chosen One' equipped himself with a move that would send him to the top of the industry...eventually.
With this jaw-dropping finisher now in his arsenal, not even being released from WWE in 2014 could keep this 'Scottish Psychopath' down. McIntyre would go on an absolute tear on the independent scene, all while honing the skill of timing and unleashing his leg slap with a speed and accuracy that regularly left audiences completely ignoring his covert ability, focusing on the massive foot he just put through a dude's face instead.
Going from strength to strength in WWE from late 2019 onwards, after finally returning to the company a few years earlier, McIntyre has added countless iconic Claymore's to the history books; the greatest of which resulted in a 'Beast Incarnate' flying over the top rope at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
