Eugenio Torres Villarreal (born July 13, 1957) is a Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler, television host and rapper best known under his ring name Konan Big. Torres competes primarily in the Monterrey-based Federación Internacional de Lucha Libre (FILL)). He is known mainly in Monterrey City for wrestling against various local celebrities. He also appears occasionally on the variety show Es Show (formerly "Las Noches del Futbol") on Multimedios Televisión.
Torres made his professional wrestling debut in early 2004 working for the Monterrey-based professional wrestling promotion ''Federación Internacional de Lucha Libre (Spanish for "International Wrestling Federation"; FILL) using the ring name Konan Big. Within a month of his debut Konan Big had already won the mask of "Latin Heart" when he defeated him in a Luchas de Apuesta (bet match). On February 22, 2004 Konan Big lost his own mask when he was defeated in an Apuesta match by Spiderman. Not long after his unmasking Konan Big became involved in a storyline feud with Patricio "Pato" Zambrano, a minor television character, the storyline was that television actress Irma Serrano hired Konan Big to humiliate Pato Zambrano by shaving his hair off. The plan backfired as Pato Zambrano defeated Konan Big in a Luchas de Apuesta match on August 1, 2004. In the following years Konan Big would wrestle against other Multimedios personalities such as male model Alfonso de Nigris, Regalito the Clown, and Acábatelo host Mario Bezares. In 2006 he also gained a measure of revenge on Pato Zambrano when he shaved Zambrano's hair off after defeating him in an Apuesta match.
In 2005 Konan Big won his first championship, the FILL World Heavyweight Championship. Konan Big held the title throughout 2005 and 2006, briefly losing the title to Konnan and then regaining it. In December 2006 Konan Big lost the title for the second and final time to Rayo de Jalisco, Jr.. In 2007 Konan Big defeated Axel El Nieto del Santo ("The Grandson of Santo) to win the FILL World Middleweight Championship. On March 11, 2007 Konan Big and Axel lost a tag team match to El Hijo del Aníbal and El Hijo del Solitario, after which the two faced off in a match where Konan Big put the Middleweight title on the line and Axel put his mask on the line. On the night Axel managed to keep his mask and defeated Konan Big for the Middleweight title. Konan Big would continue to wrestle local celebrities, losing to Regalito and Raton the Clown in a handicap match and wrestling against radio DJ Cepi Boy, Torin and Gongora. Konan Big claims to had made a backstage appearance during Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's (TNA) 2007 Genesis Pay-Per-View laying out an open challenge to everyone in TNA. This appearance apparently was his only appearance for TNA so far, But this information has no background nor proof. Konan Big took several months off in 2008 to write and produce his own rap CD, returning to the ring in April, 2008. On October 31, 2008 Konan Big lost a non-title match to the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Blue Demon, Jr. in the main event of a Halloween show in Monterrey.
