This was pretty much a brawl from start to finish. It came a couple weeks after Rayo took Cien Caras' mask at the Anniversary Show, but they clearly hadn't settled anything and Los Capos were out for revenge. The dynamic was pretty straight forward - Los Capos are brothers and have been up and down the road together for a decade, so this sort of gang war is their bread and butter. The tecnicos are not brothers and Chicana has probably thrown up in the others' bags at one point or another. The rudos are coordinated and work as a unit, while the tecnicos are three individuals who happen to be on the same side on the night. Chicana was really the third string player in this as the main focus on the tecnico end was Rayo de Jalisco Jr. It naturally meant he wasn't front and centre and by definition that's disappointing because you want Sangre Chicana front and centre in every gang fight. He still got to look very much like Sangre Chicana at points, though. He threw his punches. He ducked a haymaker and threw more punches. Several of those punches looked like Sangre Chicana punches. All was right. At the end I thought for sure he was going to turn on his teammates when Lizmark accidentally headbutted him, but instead he went back after the rudos like a man who'd awoken from a brief spell of unconsciousness to find a world unchanged, where only the vicious survive, and if nothing else Sangre Chicana is a survivor. I thought the Capos were a decent enough pack of hyenas throughout, trying doggedly to take Rayo's mask or at least separate him from his partners. There was one double team where Universo held him draped over the apron while Caras jumped over the rope and essentially curb stomped Rayo's head into the ring board. It was pretty bonkers. The brawling itself wasn't the strongest, though Cien Caras is one of the most charismatic wrestlers in history and I do always like it when he knows he has to quit begging off and actually fight. Lizmark belly flopping himself into a mound of bodies post-match ruled. The best brawling might've come after the bell, to be honest.
