Wrestled wrestlers should be "fired" when slap their leg during matches, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has told GiveMeSport.

In an exclusive interview ahead of TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, NXT commentator Booker T revealed his wrestling "hot take".

Like many people, Booker hates when wrestler slap their leg to mimic the sound of a kick, believing that the talent that do so "should be fired".

What is Booker T's wrestling "hot take"?

Many fans think that it's become far easier to see when wrestlers are faking their kicks, mainly due to the slapping on their thighs to make their moves sound more realistic.

This is something that really bothers Booker T, as the WWE Hall of Famer explained to GiveMeSport in an exclusive interview.

I guess my pet peeve, you know, the thing that really bugs me more than anything... My hot take is everybody that does the leg slap should be fired.

Booker, as you can see from the quote above, is so anti-leg slapping that he even feels as if those that are caught doing it should be "fired" by the company they work for, including WWE.

This would mean that, taking WWE for example, should Triple H catch anyone slapping their leg during a match, Booker T would want to see them fired.

Booker is a wrestling trainer himself, coaching some of the brightest talents in the world such as Roxanne Perez, so it's clear that he'll be teaching them how to make their moves seem believable WITHOUT slapping their legs.
