This masked star will be among the various new faces to appear in MLW following their restart in the fall. MLW had to cease operations for eight months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the company is set to resume events in November, complete with a new business model and fresh talent.<\/p>\n<p>The father of <strong>LA Park<\/strong> and younger brother of <strong>El Hijo de LA Park<\/strong>, LA Park Jr. enters MLW with a hunger to fight. Not unlike his father, he possesses a brawling style, which he picked up during training. Speaking of, he learned under his father and Mexican wrestling veteran <strong>Garringo<\/strong>. At 20 years old, LA Park Jr. is the youngest of this masked family trio, and while his career is only just beginning, early signs of his work have been promising.<\/p>\n<p>LA Park Jr. began his professional wrestling endeavors during early 2019. He wrestled across Mexico for a number of promotions, including <strong>Producciones Sanchez<\/strong>, <strong>Generation XXI<\/strong>, and <strong>KAOZ Lucha Libre<\/strong>. In addition to his brother, he worked with talents such as <strong>La Bestia del Ring<\/strong> and <strong>Rush<\/strong> of <strong>Los Ingobernables<\/strong>. He made his first MLW appearance that October, when he teamed with El Hijo de LA Park to challenge then-MLW World Tag Team Champions <strong>Richard Holliday<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/04\/08\/end-of-a-dynasty-mjf-finished-with-mlw\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>MJF<\/strong><\/a> of <strong>The Dynasty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLW\/status\/1306629328227229696?s=20<\/p>\n<p>Pre-COVID, LA Park Jr. continued to work in Mexico. He would become a regular competitor for <strong>Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide<\/strong>, further plying his craft against <strong>Octagon Jr.<\/strong>, <strong>Drago<\/strong>, and even <strong>Tito Santana<\/strong>, just to name a few talents. The enigmatic star has championship gold in his sights and whether it&#8217;s in singles or tag team competition, expect the scrappy luchador to stop at nothing to make a name for himself. He will be one of the rising talents to keep an eye on following the restart of MLW.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
