Carlos Ignacio Carrillo Contreras (November 5, 1940 – March 4, 1994) was a Mexican
Professional wrestling career
Carrillo began training for a professional wrestling career at the age of 20, training in Gimnasio Baños Gloria and at the Gimnasio San Francisco de Portales under the tutelage of Chico Fernández and Salvador Flores. He made his professional wrestling debut in November 1963 and earned 40 pesos for the match.
During his early days as Aníbal
In May 1975,
Mask loss and retirement
Carrillo returned in late 1990 and began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; the renamed EMLL). The years away from the ring and cumulative injuries had taken its toll as he was not nearly as mobile as before but still commanded respect due to his history. Carrillo returned to wrestling to get a big payday for losing his mask in an Apuesta match as he needed the money. The original plan was for Aníbal to lose his mask to Universo 2000, a wrestler CMLL was building up to be a main eventer, in the featured match of the 1991 Juicio Final ("Final Justice"). Those plans were changed when promoter Benjamin Mora, who was bitter at CMLL for not working with him, revealed several of CMLL's plans including who was going to unmask Aníbal. CMLL decided to change their plans and in the end it was Máscara Año 2000, Universo 2000's brother that unmasked Aníbal on December 13, 1991.[13] Not long after the mask loss Carillo retired, but returned in 1993 to wrestle a series of matches because he needed the money. By the end of 1993 Carrillo was in such poor physical shape he was forced to retire from wrestling for good.[1] Om October 24, 1993, Carrillo was on hand as El Hijo del Aníbal ("The son of Aníbal") made his professional wrestling debut. It has never been confirmed if El Hijo del Aníbal is indeed the son of Carrillo or if he paid for the rights to use the name, a practice not uncommon in Lucha Libre.[14]
Death
Carlos Carrillo died on March 4, 1994, from a brain tumor.[1] El Hijo de Aníbal died at 50 on January 23, 2021, from complications of COVID-19.
