Description

Adolfo Margarito Tapia Ibarra (November 14, 1965) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado (masked professional wrestler), currently working for Major League Wrestling and best known throughout the world as La Parka, especially from his many years in the American World Championship Wrestling (WCW) promotion. He was forced to change his ring name from "La Parka" to "L.A. Park" (short for La Auténtica Park; "The Original Park") in early 2003 when Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) owner Antonio Peña asserted his copyright claims to the La Parka character, barring Tapia from using the name as he promoted his own La Parka. Tapia worked for every major and multiple minor wrestling promotions in Mexico as well as wrestling in Japan. His last appearances were wrestles for various promotions in Mexico including AAA and in the United States for Major League Wrestling.

Tapia's uncle originally wrestled as Volador, but later changed his character to Super Parka after Tapia gained worldwide fame as La Parka. He is a three-time world champion having held the IWC World Heavyweight, the IWC World Hardcore, and the IWL World Heavyweight championships all once.

In March 2010, L.A. Park returned to AAA, starting a storyline with AAA's La Parka, pitting the original and the new La Parka against each other. At Triplemania XVIII Park defeated La Parka and earned the rights to once again be known as "La Parka". The result, however, was later thrown out.
