Professional wrestling attacks
An enzuigiri is any move that hits the opponent in the back of the head. The move is usually done by lighter wrestlers and wrestlers that have a martial arts background or gimmick. The move is usually used as a counter move after one of the wrestler's kick is blocked and caught by the opponent. One of the more common versions of the enzuigiri is when the wrestler steps up the opponent's chest and hits the back of their head with the other leg or foot. The name enzuigiri comes from Enzui (the Japanese word for medulla oblongata) and giri (meaning "to chop"). The name of the move is sometimes misspelled as 'ensuigiri' or 'enzuiguri'. The move was created by Antonio Inoki.
