eminent booker, wrestler and wrestling manager, he’s also a rapper and hosts his own Podcast.
Pre pro-wrestling career

shoulder injury.

Tag Team Champion. As of writing this, Konnan had won 15 titles in 9 promotions.
Max Moon

Shortly after, WWE began calling Konnan El Relampago. But Konnan had an enormous fanbase in
Mexico and heat with all the boys. As a result, his character was given to Paul Diamond finally.
