Juicio Final (1990) (Spanish for "Final Justice") was a professional wrestling major show event produced by Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) that took place on December 14, 1990 in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. It was the last major show produced by EMLL under that name as they were renamed Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) a few months later.
The main event of Juicio Final was a three way, round-robin tournament between Octagón, Fuerza Guerrera and Huracán Ramírez II (not to be mistaken for the original Huracán Ramírez). The three men faced off against each other in singles matches until one man had scored two wins, eliminating himself from the match. The remaining two wrestlers faced each other in a Lucha de Apuestas match where both men would put their masks on the line. Guerra defeated both Octagón and Huracan Ramírez IIi in individual matches, forcing those two men to wrestle for their masks in the main event. The final saw Octagón defeate Ramírez, forcing him to unmask in the middle of the ring.[2] Following the match Ramírez revealed his real name, as per Lucha Libre traditions.[3]
The undercard featured an additional Lucha de Apuesta, this time with both competitors' hair on the line as El Dandy defeated El Satánico, which meant that Satánico was shaved bald after the match ended. The opening match of the show was a Six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match where Atlantis teamed up with Rayo de Jalisco Jr. and Ringo Mendoza to defeat the team of Fabuloso Blondy and Los Hermanos Dinamita ("The Dynamite Brothers"; Máscara Año 2000 and Universo 2000) two falls to one.
Production
Background
The Mexican wrestling company Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (Spanish for "Mexican Wrestling Federation"; EMLL) has held a number of major shows over the years using the moniker Jucio Final ("Final Judgement") with the first confirmed use of the name dating back to 1990. It is not an annually recurring show, but instead held intermittently sometimes several years apart and not always in the same month of the year either. All Juicio Final shows have been held in Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico which is EMLL's main venue, its "home".[4] Traditionally CMLL holds their major events on Friday Nights, which means the Juicio Final shows replace their regularly scheduled Super Viernes show.[4] The 1990 Jucio Final show was the first show to use the name.
Storylines

The event featured five professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
