This documentary successfully highlights Mexican-American representation and challenges the traditionally Anglo-centric norms of professional wrestling. However, it remains deeply rooted in the male-dominated, hyper-masculine structures of sports entertainment, limiting its broader multi-layered exploration. Ultimately, while the film provides a strong platform for racial representation, it does not actively challenge gendered or straight-centered hierarchies.
