Yes, and it’s terrible news, but it needs to be said that this isn’t the “WCW” La Parka that I knew. It was a different guy. Still tragic for his family and friends. https://t.co/pJOyMD0Hww

Condolences to the family, friends & fans of Lucha Legend La Parka. #LaParkaAAA 🙏

FYI- this is not the “chairman of WCW” La Parka (he still wrestles but as La Park)

This are the dangers of wrestling. La Parka died doing something that he love and he risked everything for it.
Respect our sport. THERE IS NOTHING FAKE ABOUT IT! #RIPLaparka https://t.co/k0tS6RbfUK
