Biography

Konnan is considered to be one of the biggest stars to ever emerge from Lucha Libre. He has competed in WWE (as Max Moon), WCW, ECW, TNA, WWA, XPW and (more or less) anywhere else that is noteworthy. Konnan is partly responsible for the exposure of Lucha Libre in North America, as he headlined the AAA/IWC When Worlds Collide Pay-Per-View, as well as supplied ECW's Paul Heyman with the talent that he requested, and brought many competitors to World Championship Wrestling.


Celebrity Status and Rap Music

Konnan is not only a huge name in Lucha Libra, but also in Mexican culture, as he has appeared Soap Operas and TV shows in Mexico. Mike Tenay was quoted on When Worlds Collide as stating that, "Whenever Konnan appears on TV, everyone stops what they are doing and focuses on whatever television that is around. Waitresses in restaurants will stop what they are doing and watch whatever program that Konnan appears on."

Konnan also records Rap music in his spare time, as his music videos have been featured on WCW programming. Konnan also has his music available on his MySpace.
