What is an European Uppercut supposed to be anyway?

Is it some sort of throat thrust with your biceps? Some sort of incredibly misaimed uppercut from the opponent's right? An upwards Lariat? Of all the standard moves that we are supposed to suspend our disbelieve on, the European Uppercut always made the least sense to me.

    A Forearm Blow delivered in an upward motion. Seems pretty clear and straight forward to me.

    Ah yes, back in the good old days when wrestling actually tried to (selectively at least) enforce some rules a closed fist was illegal and would get your disqualified. So they came up with alternative ways to hit each other. This is one of many.
