Jeff Jarrett’s lengthy pro wrestling profession has positioned him on the alternative end of most of the best names within the industry, especially during his WCW days, where he captured the WCW World Heavyweight Championship on 4 separate occasions. During an episode of his “My World with Jeff Jarrett” podcast, the veteran was asked who he would vote for within the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame for Mexican talent, and recalled how much respect he’s at all times had for one in all his former peers.
“I believe nine out of ten people would say… ‘Alright, who do you think that Jeff [Jarrett] voted for?’ I believe nine out of ten people would say: La Parka,” he proclaimed, before explaining how he views La Parka as a wrestler. “From a promoter’s standpoint, for my part, what he had to beat was… Not everybody can try this.”
Jarrett then clarified that he was talking concerning the original La Parka – often known as L.A. Park today – who shared a locker room with him in WCW and competed against in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. “That is the one which went to WCW, and danced, and had his own unique charisma; did so many things that were emotionally connecting together with his audience,” he expressed. “Only a freaking phenomenal talent!”
Moreover, Jarrett also added that he worked with the second La Parka – who tragically passed away in 2020 – and noted how over the character was because the second incarnation in comparison with the primary.
