Whilst many presume Konnan is Mexican, the now-retired grappler was actually born in Cuba.
Having competed all over the world, Konnan is most revered for his time working in Mexico, where he has at times been called “the Mexican Hulk Hogan”. Here’s hoping he’s managed to avoid sex tapes and racism, brother.
To a wider audience, Konnan is likely best remembered for his time in WCW, where he won the US Title, TV Title and was a multiple Tag Team Champion. Then there was his earlier ill-judged stint in the WWF as Max Moon, not to mention spells in ECW and later TNA.
Now depicted as a manager and mouthpiece, Konnan can still be found in Lucha Underground and AAA.
