It feels a little surreal writing this in 2026 already, as I personally had the opportunity of joining the team RIGHT before the announcement of Mexican Ninja - little did I know I'd be joining the most chaotic cabrones ever at Madbricks (in a good way, xoxo).[/p][p][/p][p]So what did we accomplish since we revealed Mexican Ninja to the world? And what's next for the one and only Juan? Let's find out...[/p][p][/p][p]It was a dark and stormy night on Jun 13th - when suddenly - HE APPEARED.[/p][p]This marks the debut of our very first
