Rawknight 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 Not to be picky, but you can't hit someone in the face with Enzuigiri, since Enzuigiri by definition is a jumping Roundhouse Kick to the back of the head. I believe the phrase your looking for is a Gamengiri. I'm gonna be double picky and say.. and enzuigiri is ANY kick to the back of the head enzui (to the back of the head) giri (kick) When Cole says enzuigiri to the back of the head that's a fine example of tautology A roundhouse enzuigiri would be an enzuinowashigiri if K-1 announcer Will Vanders' call of roundhouse kicks is right (which I think it is, but that's still no excuse for him screaming KNOCKDOOOOOOOOOWN like Jonathon Pearce on speed) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen Dropkicks to the Lowerback be called EnzuiDropkick!(see Kobashi/Kawada 4/93 for reference and because it's a great match too). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBostonStrangler 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 Hey, buddy, what's the deal with that kick there? You're getting a little too technical for my tastes, if you know what I mean. I think we're gonna have to kick you out of the HOSS~! Club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Goodear Report post Posted September 3, 2003 I also think that its mandatory that the finisher be a chokeslam but my guy is only 188 pounds so what do I know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not a tape lacking in Kawada OR Kobashi either, two Misawa vs Kawada, two Misawa/Kobashi vs Kawada/Taue, Misawa/Akiyama vs Kawada/Taue, Kobashi vs Williams, Kawada vs Williams and Kawada vs Allbright are all on it.

Bah, I've got two matches mixed up in my head. The match I was actually thinking of was Kobashi/Misawa where the Dropkick to the back gets called an Enzui Dropkick, and now that I think of it was pretty high, and probably hit the back of his head in theory. I stand corrected. Enzui=just back of the head. I don't have the best of the Budokan tape, but I probably have all those matches anyway. Sounds like a great tape, though the dates can be decieving(might be their later meetings). You need to see Kobashi/Kawada 4/93 though, probably their best meeting with the possible exception of the 98 Triple Crown match, sadly the rest of the fued drops several notches below those matches.
