Canek is a Mexican professional wrestler currently performing part time for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre. As one of Mexico's few true heavyweights (above 220 pounds), he became one of Lucha Libre's biggest attractions during the 1980s with the Universal Wrestling Association.
Canek holds victories over several international stars including Lou Thesz, Hulk Hogan, André the Giant, Yokozuna, Big Van Vader and Japanese stars Tatsumi Fujinami, Riki Chōshū and Kim Duk; however, these are rarely mentioned outside of Mexico. He bodyslammed Andre the Giant and Yokozuna (under the name Kokina).
