WWE Superstar Sami Zayn recently revealed the origin story behind his finisher move, the Helluva Kick.
The former Honorary Uce has been using the Helluva Kick as his finishing maneuver for many years. Meanwhile, several fans have wondered why it is pronounced "Helluva Kick" instead of "Hell of a Kick." While some speculated that Zayn inspired the name of his finisher from Archie Comics, others thought he took the inspiration from another wrestler on the independent circuit.
In an interview with Love Wrestling ahead of the Elimination Chamber PLE, Zayn disclosed the real story behind his Helluva Kick for the first time.
"It's based on, if you want the actual history here, I don't know if I've ever actually told it in an interview but what it is, is when I was a kid I had a WCW magazine and I was reading some match results and it said Chris Jericho defeated Syxx, or maybe it was the other way around, with a hell of a kick. It was written 'helluva' like that and I thought it was a Helluva Kick, so I thought it was a type of kick. So, I told this story to Excalibur, who now does commentary on AEW every Wednesday, but I told this story to him at dinner one time at Dani's after a PWG show and then we started calling the running Yakuza Kick in the corner that I would do at the time, we started calling it the Helluva Kick. So, that's actually the real history of that name," he said. [2:45 - 3:29]
