It turns out that "El Gigante" is a misnomer. It turns out that Los Iluminados have multiple cave trolls. So we have a tag team of Los Gigantes that we have to worry about. Well, it's either that or the tag team of Los Motosierras. Dealer's choice on this one... If you liked the video, please like,
