Or something similar. I thought it was some type of cultural name for something.
Turns out it's "Helluva Kick", and it's just pronounced weirdly.
The origin for the name came from some wrestling magazine or newsletter from the 90s when the writer wrote "helluva" instead of "hell of a" for some other person's kick so El Generico decided to use that for his.
He should use the Blue Thunder Bomb as his finisher. The Helluva Kick should be the set up for that.
I'm from Texas so "helluva" is how we speak and even spell it at times.
The way wwe pronounces it is just weird. But I guess it's purposely

WWE says it "Hell-lew-va" probably for the same reason FU became AA. Had no idea it was actually "Helluva" either OP

Yea I just though the pronunciation was WWE’s way of passing “hell-of-a-kick” through PG programming
interesting origin story. I always just thought that Sami named his kick after Heluva Good dip:
I use to think the Figure Four was called the Finger Four when I was a kid due to the Horsemen hand sign
