Nombre vs. Nombre: La
Parka vs. LA Park
Finally
gave this a proper watch, and it’s glorious. I don’t want to explain the story
behind the match, it should be a well-known thing to anyone who considers
themselves a wrestling fan. Also, Wikipedia is your friend. Anyway, this was a
long ass match, it was designed to be an epic, and an epic it was. Park took
control early in the match, those punches and hardcore beatdown on the
“impostor” was years in the making, it felt huge, colorful. Very few
pro-wrestlers can control a match like Park can, and I’m talking worldwide
here, it’s a joy to watch him mauling his opponents, and this was no different.
But as much as I love the original Parka, I was still rooting for Parka II
here, after all he was the one with the tough task of carrying the Parka name
and gimmick after the original one went to WCW and CMLL, it’s never easy to
fill shoes that big, but he did his best. He was a tremendous face-in-peril
here, and that brings me back to Park being a phenomenal aggressor. Long story
short, the roles were played perfectly, it made for a grand setting. Lots of
nasty smacks, nifty counters and big blitz & glam drama with the Roldan
family other wrestlers interfering, which was both necessary and logical
considering the nature of the feud, this was an excellent match-up.
****1/4

Parka vs. LA Park
The
rematch, much shorter than the first one, but equally chaotic and just a really
good brawl, there were buckets of dramatic moments filled with struggle,
interferences, the awesome ref brawl, etc. AAA thrives in this blitz & glam
setting, you feel like a kid again.
