  Tapia was forced to change his ring name from "La Parka" to "L.A. Park" in early 2003 when AAA owner Antonio Peña asserted his copyright claims to the La Parka character, barring Tapia from using the name as he promoted his own version of the gimmick.
  In March 2010, L.A. Park returned to AAA and started a storyline with AAA's La Parka, pitting the original and the new La Parka against each other. At Triplemania XVIII, Park defeated La Parka and earned the rights to once again be known as "La Parka". The result, however, was later thrown out.
