Carlos Ignacio Carrillo Contreras (November 5, 1940–March 4, 1994) was a Mexican Luchador, or professional wrestler known under the ring name Aníbal. Carrillo made his debut in November, 1963, but it would not be until 1965 where he adopted the enmascarado character (masked) Aníbal, named after the Carthagenian general Hanibal. Carrilo's career peaked in the late 1960s and the 1970s as he worked for Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre and the Universal Wrestling Association, winning a number of championships. Carrillo was unmasked after losing a Lucha de Apuesta (bet fight) to Máscara Año 2000 on December 13, 1991. Carrillo retired from wrestling in 1993 and died from a brain tumor in 1994. El Hijo de Aníbal (Spanish for "the Son of Aníbal") is billed as Aníbal's son, but it has never been confirmed if he is indeed the son of Carrillo or if he paid for the rights to use the name, a practice not uncommon in Lucha Libre.
