Man... It kills me that I didn't have a Park match on my list first go around. He has so much good work and is one of the best overall talents. Lots of matches I have and will continue to consider.

Early mid 90s AAA La Parka is someone I need to take a closer look at. Everyone knows and loves him for his huge over the top brawls, but early on in his career he showed off his more technical side. I recall he had a really great Lizmark match at least during this era (maybe 1993). He always had the charisma & fun schtick, but he may be a more well rounded worker than we tend to think of.

Is there a better brawler from the last 20 years?

Since brawling has become a bit of a lost art (most "brawlers" today are just really heavy strikers), I'd say probably not. Rush definitely feels like a throwback to the more traditional brawler though. Probably why their matches together always rule, ha.

How do people feel about the premise that Parka could have been pushed into a semi-main/occasional main event position in the US?

What are some good 90's Park matches? Or even early 2000's before he got all the buzz he's had the last few years.

What's the best Park match that isn't a total bloodbath?

As far as singles matches, maybe that Parka vs Lizmark match from TripleMania 93.

The Rey Fenix match from 2018 is incredible. Definitely one of the better LA Park non blood bath matches that I can remember.
