I thought that line-up, with a chance to see Chicana work tecnico against THAT rudo unit, might've been too good to be true. And anything short of a classic then it probably is. There's so much potential there. So it was almost doubly disappointing as not only was it background for a rudo turn, we didn't even really get to see Chicana work tecnico because it was background for HIS rudo turn. It had its moments, though. I liked how they established Chicana being cut from a very different tecnico cloth right away, as he came in and booted Satanico who was in the midst of grappling with Atlantis. After that the rudos weren't even attempting to keep things above board and Satanico assumed his role as commander-in-chief. I don't think there's ever been anyone better at coordinating a beatdown. His presence is different class and you watch him barking orders and it's like, yeah, I'd fucking run through brick walls for that guy. All of the Satanico/Chicana exchanges, while brief, were glorious. Chicana clocked him with an absolute bastard of a left-right-left combo and honestly, I think Chicana's punches might be the best ever. Lawler's looked prettier but Chicana's are thrown from the depths of hell or whatever pit he crawled out of that morning. There's a wild sort of desperation to them that I don't think anybody else has captured the same. Atlantis and Octagon worked as more traditional tecnicos and both of them got to show off some flash. Octagon had one stretch where he ran all three rudos ragged and it was pretty awesome. Match was essentially one fall before the turn put a stop to everything, but I loved the finish to that fall and especially how they flipped the norm. After the tecnico comeback it looked like they were going to pin or submit all three rudos in unison. Octagon had Satanico wrapped up and Atlantis came off the top to prevent Panther intervening. Then Atlantis went to put the nail in the coffin with a tope, but Panther moved and he ended up clattering Chicana, who probably took a child's front teeth out as he hurtled backwards into the stands. That let Estrada and Satanico double team Octagon while Panther grabbed Atlantis in a tapatia. Chicana then lost the plot and launched Atlantis like a law dart head-first into the second row. Even the rudos were shocked, but of course they wound up embracing him anyway. Look, if nothing else it's cool that we have this, because if you wondered whether Chicana could pull off a convincing rudo turn then here's your answer.
