In practice, most thigh slaps have the opposite effect by making the moves sound less impactful. 22:57 is an example of thigh slapping done right.

But yeah, the issue really is not the move itself, it's the way it's done, as with every other move in pro-wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 I still remember when a Bella came off the ropes with a kick - that missed - and still slapped the leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 According to fightful there was a heated debate between Shawn Michaels and another wwe producer over the protests and George Floyd case at the Takeover show. The other producer claimed everyone was treated equally and Shawn gave a passionate speech about inequality and systemic racism in the United States. Shawn Michaels fucking rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Pretty sure than yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hayes would be my guess. Besides the obvious reasons, I think only someone with serious seniority would feel comfortable getting into it with Shawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I don't think Hayes works NXT shows, at least not that I've heard of. Plus I was always under the impression HHH wasn't a fan of his after his drunken escapades at Hunter and Steph's wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 No, but I believe that Michael Hayes, Jeremy Borash and Triple H were producing the Backlot Brawl for TakeOver: In Your House. So, it doesn't seem far-fetched to think that Hayes was the other unnamed producer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I don't know if he's a producer, but I would guess Road Dogg. Due to his past work in the armed forces, I could see him being on the side of police during all of this protesting & getting into a hissy when seeing Keith Lee wearing Black Lives Matter gear.

Yup, an absolutely nothing report if they're not prepared to say who the Producer is. All it does is stir up speculation and people second guessing, which is already happening in this thread so heaven knows what it's like on Twitter.

sek69 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Not to mention (one of) the reasons all of this is happening is that people are not being called out and held responsible for their bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Honestly, it's probably some no-name producer no one has ever heard of or cares about. But yes, the person absolutely should be named. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Candice did it. They integrated a fair share of intergender wrestling here. Gargano is a huge douche and it fits him 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Oh hey they addressed Maverick stealing Fantasma's thunder. And Fantasma... great reveal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I saw some people getting mad about the Fantasma thing, but he dropped the mask fair and square in Mexico and it wasn't like they were undoing some WCW stupidness like Rey. I thought it was odd he would go back to using the mask but having it be a setup like this was great. I did kind of laugh at them doing a Horsemen Beatdown before AEW though.

KawadaSmile Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 The whole concept was really good. Yay, another luchador debuts in the tournament and he's speaking Spanish! Seems like a nice guy, too. Wait who are those masked men trying to mess with him? Oh well. His title win got overshadowed by Drake resigning! What a bummer. Hey, he's a honorable man, to boot. Wait, he's unmasking! Wait, he's very good looking speaking perfect English! This was a setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brocklock Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'm a little late, but I'm gonna guess the guy Michaels chewed out was Terry Taylor who people forget is a agent/trainer in NXT. He is, from several accounts, notoriously a massive racist and is possibly the main catalyst for the WCW racism lawsuits. It could also be Road Dogg, but he doesn't have the history of racist behavior as Taylor as far as I know. It could also be some complete unknown producer. I'm just saying Terry Taylor seems like a likely choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
