The Season 9 and Season 10 Hellmouth Cup and the messy, complicated anti-rivalry between the Milwaukee Flamingos and Tucson Butchers is credited by many historians with being one of the principal causes that contributed to the Detroit Grape Chews becoming the Hot League Choke Artists and failing to make it to a final Cup series during their entire history.

Experts have hypothesized that the Grape Chews, romantically rejected by their closest rivals, the Flamingos, and unable to find healthy outlets for their aggression and frustration, had externalized their internal conflicts by consistently overperforming in the postseason only to choke up in clutch moments when performance mattered most. They have never made it to a single cup series in their entire franchise history.

Meanwhile, partially as a result of establishing their anti-rivalry with the Butchers, the Flamingos successfully established a Flawless Dynasty (the second in Golly history) and their own unique identity as one of the strongest teams in the Hellmouth Cup.
