10 Most Entertaining WCW Cruiserweights Of All Time
5. La Parka
The "Chairman of WCW," La Parka's first WCW exposure came in a six-man tag match on the legendary co-branded WCW/AAA When Worlds Collide PPV in 1994 that famously featured Eddie Guerrero/Love Machine versus El Hijo del Santo and Octagon. As well, La Parka also made an appearance in ECW teaming with Psychosis versus Konnan and Rey Mysterio, Jr. By 1996, La Parka was one of the first luchadors brought over to America full-time by WCW, and in a) having a skeleton costume, b) carrying a chair to the ring and c) playing air guitar on said chair, La Parka inexplicably became an entertaining star in the promotion. Though never a WCW Cruiserweight Champion, La Parka was so over that when Diamond Dallas Page needed a wrestler's suit to wear in order to sneak attack hated rival Randy Savage, he used La Parka's as the wrestler was so over that likely nobody would ever think that anyone other than the wrestler himself would don his costume.
