AAA’s La Parka passed away this evening at 56-years old. The lucha-libre star suffered an injury performing a dive back in November in a bout against LA Park, RUSH, and Murder Clown at Kaoz Lucha-Libre’s 64th anniversary event, and never fully recovered. Luchablog hailed Parka as one of the “bigger recent stars in Mexican wrestling” and the symbol for AAA. He is not the same man as the aforementioned LA Park, who worked in WCW under the LA Parka moniker.
AAA issued the following press release regarding Parka’s passing.
CDMX, January 11, 2020: Lucha Libra AAA Worldwide is in mourning. Today, January 11, 2020, in his native home Hermosillo, Sonora, Jesus Alfonso Escoboza Huerta, LA PARKA, passed away surrounded by his family and loved ones.
On the night of January 10, he had renal failure and it was necessary to put him back in assisted breathing. Today, January 11, his lungs and kidney completely failed.
Originating from Hermosillo, Sonora, Jesus Alfonso Escoboza Huerta traversed through Mexico and the world under the mask of La Parka with the AAA group for more than 20 years, reaching a level of an idol that of a global wrestling legend.
In his possession is the Copa Triplemania, the Copa Antonio Pena, the masks of Cibernetico, Gigante Drako, Halcon Dorado Jr. and Muerte Cibernetica as well as the top winner of the Rey de Reyes tournament.
Check it out below.
