Juicio Final (2019)

For decades Arena México, the main venue of the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), would close down in early December and remain closed into either January or February to allow for renovations as well as letting Circo Atayde occupy the space over the holidays. As a result, CMLL usually held a "end of the year" supercard show on the first or second Friday of December in lieu of their normal Super Viernes show. 1955 was the first year where CMLL used the name "El Juicio Final" ("The Final Judgement") for their year-end supershow.{{cite web | url=https://www.wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=shows&show=219912 | title= EMLL Super Viernes | date= December 2, 1955 | access-date=March 21, 2019 | work=Wrestling Data}}{{cite web | url=https://www.record.com.mx/lucha-cmll/juicio-final-nos-ha-regalado-luchas-de-apuestas-emblematicas | title=Juicio Final nos ha regalado Luchas de Apuestas emblematicas | trans-title=Juicio Final has provided some emblematic bet matches | language=Spanish | work=Record | date=May 31, 2019 | access-date=June 1, 2019 | first=Fernando | last=Salazar}} Until 2000 the Jucio Final name was always used for the year end show, but since 2000 has at times been used for shows outside of December.{{cite web | url= http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/mexico/emll/ppv.html#0300| title= March 2000 PPV | date= March 17, 2000 | access-date= February 19, 2010 | publisher= ProWrestlingHistory}}{{cite web | url=https://www.record.com.mx/lucha-cmll/ultimo-guerrero-rapa-a-mascara-ano-2000-en-el-juicio-final | title='El Último de su estirpe' salió con la cabellera del Macho de Lagos de Moreno de la Arena México | trans-title='The last of his lineage' leaves with hair of the Macho Man of the Moreno Lagoon | date=May 31, 2019 | access-date=June 1, 2019 | language=Spanish | work=Record | first=Carlos | last=Zulbaran}} 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 CMLL's main venue, its "home".{{cite book|author=Madigan, Dan|title=Mondo Lucha A Go-Go: the bizarre & honorable world of wild Mexican wrestling|publisher=HarperCollins Publishers|year=2007|chapter=El nacimient de un sueño (the birth of a dream)|pages=41–50|isbn=978-0-06-085583-3}}

The Juicio Final event featured seven professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed heels (referred to as rudos in Mexican lucha libre, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexican lucha libre, the "good guy" characters) as they participated in a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.{{cite book | author= Madigan, Dan | title= Mondo Lucha a Go Go: the bizarre & honorable world of wild Mexican wrestling | publisher= HarperCollins Publishers | year= 2007 | chapter = "Okay... what is Lucha Libre?" | page = 31 | quote=featuring clearly distinguished good guys and bad guys, or técnicos and rudos | isbn=978-0-06-085583-3|location=New York, New York}}
