Joe Town Public Decree
I Samoa Joe hereby dub this day.
National Enzuigiri Day.
What is a Enzuigiri you might ask?
Enzuigiri
There are two "versions" of the Enzuigiri: the Japanese version, and the Western version.
In Japanese "puroresu", the term Enzui refers to any attack that strikes the back of the head. Giri is a generic suffix referring to a kicking attack (single leg). The Japanese Enzuigiri, therefore, is any form of kick to the back of the head, though commonly the Enzuigiri is a roundhouse-style kick. Sometimes, though, it is employed by striking the back of the head with the heel of the foot.
The North American version of the move, usually performed with one leg being held by the opponent (or with the wrestler running towards the opponent), involves the attacker jumping to the side of the victim and swinging the "far" leg (the leg further from the opponent's body) to kick at the side of the opponent's head. This is a misnomer, as it is not a true "Enzuigiri" as the name actually means in Japanese.**

I personally prefer the jumping variety, so get out there kids and kick someone in the back of the head!***
***note: Samoa Joe, JoeISM Inc., and all affiliated persons and or companies do not condone or advise the kicking of other people in the back of the head. Any criminal negligence is hereby waived on the behalf of the aforementioned parties. Kicking people in the back of the head is both anti social and generally frowned upon by modern society. If you choose to participate in such a action you are subject to possible criminally reprocussions and will be generally viewed as an asshole. Sorry to word it that way but let's face it , its the truth.
