A GOOD fight. Rizzo destroyed Cain until Cain was all like, "whoa, dude, how about no!?" and de-Pedro'ed Rizzo for the finish shortly there-after. It's also possible a bee stung him and that pissed him off as well. But either way, it was a sudden, abrupt switch from receiver of destruction to deliverer of destruction.
