La Parkita

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.

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.
