Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted October 18, 2002 Just cause he's made a few stateside appearences, lets talk about his greatness. The WCW 8 man luch tag match, his team wins, he lays out all of his opponents with a chair, then his partners, and hes still getting a huge baby face pop. Its a shame they didn't push him hard.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted October 18, 2002 I don't know if I'd go as far to say "Great"...but he was far and away one of the most entertaining guys in WCW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lord of The Curry Report post Posted October 18, 2002 The best shit w/ La Parka (besides the in-ring skills) was the "Dubbed" gimmick they had going on for him, when the voice that was talking for him would say tons of shit on his opponent, all the while La Parka would be waving his hands, denying the whole thing. " Well Mean Gene, it's not the 411, it's the 1-4-1-4, as in one for me and one for my homies." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted October 18, 2002 I once read a Scott Keith comment that La Parka is the perfect example of why WCW went in the crapper. They had a guy in a skeleton suit who played a folding chair like a guitar, but couldn't get him over with children. He's a looney cult figure that gets over on being different than anything else ever out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted October 18, 2002 That damned dubbed thing was the funniest thing WCW ever did, and I only saw the one with him and Kaz... After the interview Mean Gene looks at the camera "What the hell was that?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted October 19, 2002 Didn't they incorporate the Castle Greyskull into a couple of them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
