10 Wrestlers Who Slapped The Leg (And You Never Noticed)
3. Daniel Bryan
When the name Daniel Bryan is brought into a conversation about in-ring work, most wrestling fans tend to point to his blistering offence, equipped with snug strikes and tightly performed submissions, as one of the defining features of his all-round impeccable game.
Yet, though 'The Leader of the YES Movement' is clearly more fond of genuinely booting you in the chest or face than he is faking the action with deception, that doesn't mean the former WWE Champion stays clear of the almighty leg slap completely.
Most notably, Bryan usually signs off his patented 'YES!' kicks with a shot equipped with the aforementioned tool. However, thanks to the equity built up from the prior very real shins to the chest of whichever poor soul finds themselves knelt down in front of the fiery face, fans are usually too engrossed in his savagery to clock the sweetly slid in leg slap that accompanies his roundhouse conclusion to the sequence.
A true student of the game, Bryan clearly abides by an important life lesson when performing this sneaky slap; Less is more, folks.
