La Parkita

La Parkita was a Mexican professional wrestler, best known for his work in the Mini-Estrella division, a term used in Mexican professional wrestling to describe the division for dwarfs and little people. Born on November 18, 1969, in Mexico, La Parkita's real name was Alberto Jiménez. He adopted the ring name "La Parkita" as a mini version of the popular wrestler La Parka, known for his skeleton-themed costumes and high-flying maneuvers. La Parkita's career spanned over two decades, during which he became one of the most recognized figures in the Mini-Estrella division.

Throughout his career, La Parkita performed for various wrestling promotions, including the prominent Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), two of the biggest wrestling promotions in Mexico.

In the ring, La Parkita was known for his high-flying style, a common characteristic of the Mini-Estrella division, which often includes acrobatic moves and aerial techniques. Despite his small stature, he competed with great heart and determination, earning the respect of both fans and fellow wrestlers.

Death[edit | edit source]

Tragically, La Parkita's life and career were cut short when he was found dead on June 29, 2009, in a hotel room in Mexico City. His death, along with that of fellow Mini-Estrella wrestler Espectrito II, was the result of a crime perpetrated by two women who were later referred to in the media as "Las Goteras". The women were accused of drugging and robbing La Parkita and Espectrito II, leading to their accidental deaths due to a lethal combination of alcohol and the drugs.
