He discussed wrestling during his media appearance, praising Lucha libre and saying he was a big fan of Mil Mascaras and El Santo as a child. He also put over the legendary Guerrero family, saying: “I will always be grateful for the support they gave me. In my development as a wrestler I learned a lot from them, they always offered me their support during the most difficult times of my life.”
— Two past wrestling stars in Konnan and Ed Leslie (a/k/a Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake) are working on respective autobiographies.

His face had to be surgically repaired with over one hundred metal plates, putting his wrestling career on hiatus for nearly two years. In the case of Konnan, his book will explore his lengthy career in the wrestling industry.
