La Parka was one of the most colorful and well known Mexican wrestlers
to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. He spent his early career making
a name for himself in Mexico in the early 1990s. He, like most of the
other Mexican wrestling stars, wrestled in a full body costume,
including a mask. His persona was that of a skeleton, looking a bit
like the evil Skeletor from He-man.
La Parka finally made his way to the rings of WCW in 1996 after the
likes of Rey Mysterio Jr and Konnan opened up the doors for Luchadores,
as Mexican wrestlers were known. He quickly became known as a very
talented wrestler, wrestling on TNT's high-profile Nitro broadcasts on
Monday night. Matches with other talented high-fliers, such as
Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Psichosis, and Juventud Guerrera, made the art
of Lucha-Libre very popular. La Parka, at 6' 4" was actually the
largest of the Luchadores in WCW. He was well known for bringing his
trademark steel chair with him to the ring for every match, earning him
the nickname the "Chairman of WCW". That, along with his trademark
dance routine to taunt his opponent, made him one of the most
entertaining wrestlers in WCW.
La Parka appeared on several WCW Pay Per Views, such as World War 3
'96, Superbrawl '97, Bash at the Beach '97, World War 3 '97, Souled Out
'98, Superbrawl '98, and Spring Stampede '98, which only helped boost
his popularity.
Unfortunately for many many closet La Parka fans out there, WCW had a
terrible reputation for overlooking talented newcomers in favor of
older, established stars. This led to La Parka never getting anything
but a cult following in WCW, as he was never used to any real extent
storyline-wise. He ended up leaving WCW in 2000 and returning to his
wrestling roots in Mexico.
