AAA’s La Parka Passes Away

Some sad news out of Mexico, AAA star La Parka has passed away at the age of 56.

La Parka suffered a serious injury back in November when he took a dive to the outside of the ring and hit his head on the guardrail. La Parka underwent surgery and never really recovered as he was in and out of ICU every since.

Con infinita tristeza en el corazón decimos adiós a un ídolo de la lucha libre mexicana y referente único de @luchalibreaaa

Toda la familia luchística nos unimos para levantar una oración en nombre de Jesús Alfonso Escoboza Huerta, LA PARKA.

To note for all of us American fans, this is not the La Parka that wrestled in WCW. That guy still wrestles, with the same gimmick, as LA Park in Major League Wrestling (and elsewhere). The La Parka that has died is the guy that assumed the character after the original La Parka left AAA.

On behalf of everyone at Vortainment, our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of La Parka.
