WWE May Have Already Dropped Recent Rule Change

Can we get this written down? Any sport will have the concept of unwritten rules, as there are certain things that you can and cannot do no matter what else happens. This is certainly true in wrestling, as things are almost always changed depending on what the situation calls for. WWE is as guilty of this as anyone else, as they seem to be changing the rules twice in the same week.

One of the trickiest things in wrestling is convincing the fans that what they are seeing is real. That can be almost impossible at times but if the people involved know what they are doing, it can work out perfectly well. There are certain tricks of the trade that make it better, though WWE has taken away one of those tricks. Now though, they may have given it back only days later.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, wrestlers in WWE are expecting that the new rule of no leg slapping during matches to be forgotten in the near future. Jey Uso used the leg slap after the rule was announced and there is nothing to suggest that he is in trouble. The rule is seen as another one that was introduced and then dropped with no explanation.

WWE enjoys its kicks. Check out some of the better ones:

Opinion: I can’t say I’m overly surprised by any of this as it certainly seems that WWE made a decision on the fly and then it has already gone away. That isn’t a bad thing as the thigh slaps are not a problem that a lot of people are going to notice. I would be surprised if WWE actually cares about something like this that much and it seems that the idea is already going away.
