La Parka ''Speaking'' English

[skingraffiti1]

should have smacked the other guy with a chair

[HatchetRecords]

sounds dubbed

[eruweraranj0r]

I didn't know Mexicans talked like Texans when they choose to speak english...

[bargified]

LMAO I thought it was a great ONE TIME idea, but making him do it over and over is ridiculous. Part of La Parka's awesomeness was that he spoke with gestures/dancing (and his chair of course). Need to chair shot the creative team for this!

[tuget99]

What the fuck is this bullshit?!! La Parka's mexican. He sounds like he came from Harlem, not Queretaro!!!

[RWright2006]

What does he mean "not back to this crap again"? Did they do something like this before?

[lobovst]

El original parka la park

[tyronewwe]

Always preferred the original skull costume instead of the Darth Maul one, but I guess I can blame AAA for that. Stupid storyline here. Like said, it was fine when WWF did it with Kaientai because they weren't over while here, Parka was mega over with the fans for the little dance he would do and the chair shots

[AZdrummer89]

INDEED!!!

[000manson]

NEL NEL ESA NO ES LA VOZ DE L.A PARK

[jr91227]

wtf was that?

[14k90]

Now step off Gino the champ man has to get to work jajaja lol!!

[14k90]

Thats not even La Parka thats L.a. Park bcuz la parka's mask has a red scar in the front of his forehead and he is also a Mexican and l.a. park is a white dude

[chitocorp08]

@14k90 ESTE NO ES LA PARKA ES L.A. PARK (ADOLFO TAPIA EL ORIGINAL) FUE LA PRIMER PARKA EN MEXICO PERO LE QUITARON EL NOMBRE POR ESO CAMBIO AL DE L.A. PARK

[NeverwinterKnight77]

@14k90 1. L.A. Park is the original La Parka that performed in WCW.  2. Of course he's Mexican! Why do you think he didn't speak English like Rey Mysterio Jr. did?

[13charachters]

@NeverwinterKnight77 La Parka does so speak English! Did you even watch this video?

[1974thefreakjustborn]

he s nt talk anyway la park its one good wrestlers left in mexico

[wrath231]

I was a total La Parka mark...but I understood how pissed off he'd be sounding like this on tv,...

[Dynaman21]

It's funny. When Kaientai did this, I couldn't get enough of it.  (INDEED). When they do it here, I'm annoyed.

[OnlyOneTyping]

@Dynaman21 because when Kaientai did it, it was funny. When WCW did it they ruined an established star

[Dynaman21]

@OnlyOneTyping This is true. La Parka was already over with the US crowd and this just pissed him off to quitting. "IN-DEED" got Kaientai over when they weren't before.

[DW1014]

lol one for me and one for my homies lol tho this was annoying to me I did love that line

[furby714]

Somebody was talking for him

[Coldstonechampion]

@furby714 yeah Ed Ferrera

[SangreAzteca]

Watchca gonna do when Parkamania runs wild on you?!

[olaffz]

jajaja doblaje al mil8mil jajaj qe chido

[theIneluctable1]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH why would someone from Mexico sound like a black panther from the 70's?

[Rollermacka]

I read online that he got PISSED because Ferrera wanted him to "say" even stupider stuff in a match against Buff Bagwell. He threw down the mic while the voice kept going and he quit that same night (but since the man is a true professional, he still wrestled and put on a good match)

[taniasilvestre]

che L.A. PARCK  wuey ni ingles sabes enseñate primero y luego das las entrevistas con tu voz original y no ocupes dobles

[ZeroSystem100]

Oh thats DEFINITELY him.

[sebastiansz]

is it really him talking? he is far away from the mic and sounds so clear

[rocojackass]

jajaja como se va todo indignado a trabajar jajajaja

[dharmaseed]

Jesus, show some respect for the luchadores. Damn redneck Ferrara.

[gorgeousaur]

BWAAAAA HA HA HA! Never saw this before, but it's all kinds of great.

[Aztlanic]

claro que no era la voz de Tapia era parte del show que monto la WCW para la television ya que era un personaje comico. no mames

[aceofspades7130]

@Aztlanic Creo que deberian hacer lo mismo con Sin Cara (Místico).

[thegreatcreator]

does anyone have the video of when la parka was talling like a black man, it was on wcw thuder

[eslubin]

crap is right

[amuri2212]

Ese pendejo de Tapia aduras penas abla espańol y quebueno queno abla ingles sino ablaria pura mierda como el pendejo retrasado mental del cina

[phREaker419]

*facepalm*

wtf...

[GhostDistortion]

Another example of Ed Ferrara dubbing over the luchadores. This is one of hundreds of reasons why WCW sucked.

[takerdust]

@GhostDistortion It was annoying when WWF was doing that to Kaientai

[GhostDistortion]

@takerdust I didn't know they did that. F'N terrible and racist for that matter.

[Coldstonechampion]

@GhostDistortion once again Ferrera and Russo fucking up another legendary gimmick for their stupid bullshit

[BeingASmartMarkSucks]

@Coldstonechampion Once again another smark overreacting a harmless segment.

[Coldstonechampion]

@BeingASmartMarkSucks the this harmless segment burn bridges with La Parka and WCW

[areyoustilllistening]

@Coldstonechampion

As best I recall, Russo wasn't booking at the time this gimmick started. Anyway, it moved La Parka from a guy in a neat costume who occasionally jobbed in openers to a guy who was fairly over and working the mid-card. I don't see how this was bad for him.

In fact, the WWF later used nearly the same gimmick for Kai En Tai. It got them over too.

[Coldstonechampion]

@areyoustilllistening if it got both of them over they all would be mainstream stars alright now in the US

[areyoustilllistening]

@Coldstonechampion

Ferrara was demoted from to road agent after the Russo/Bischoff reboot in April 2000. Ferrara's lack of involvement in creating the shows meant that the gimmick was dropped. La Parka went back to Mexico.

Taka Michinoku elected to return to Japan after suffering an injury, and Funaki's dubbing wouldn't work without his teammate. Still, Funaki ended up with a WWE Cruiserweight Championship run.

By the way, Funaki and La Parka are both in their forties.

[areyoustilllistening]

Anyway, a lot of guys who were very over in 2000/2001, and are still wrestling, are not mainstream stars anymore. Bob Holly, Billy Gunn, Brian Christopher, and Rikishi are easy examples.

[Coldstonechampion]

@areyoustilllistening you got a point

[Izzyboy66]
