There has been a total of six events promoted under the Juicio Final name since 1990, with events in 1991, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2011 and most recently in 2014. The event has taken place in March, June, August or December, at times replacing the Sin Piedad event in December, and twice it has been promoted both as Juicio Final as well as Homenaje a Dos Leyendas: El Santo y Salvador Lutteroth

Event history

The very first Juicio Final event produced under that name took place on December 14, 1990 in Arena México, in Mexico City, replacing their regularly produced Friday night CMLL Super Viernes ("Super Friday") show.[1] All subsequent Juicio Final shows have taken place on Friday nights and all in Arena México, CMLL's "home arena". Most have taken place in December, three, two have taken place in March and one in June. The two March Juicio Final events were also promoted under the name Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to two legends"). The exact number of matches is unclear as only three matches for the 1991 Juicio Final show were documented and confirmed, leading to at least 94 wrestlers who have wrestled in a total of at least matches 28 matches over the seven shows, six female wrestlers, four Mini-Estrellas and 84 male wrestlers from the regular division. Atlantis is the wrestler with the most Juicio Final matches, seven in total making him the only wrestler to have appeared at all Juicio Final events. The Mini-Estrella division has only been featured in one show while the female division was featured on two shows.[Note 1]

All seven Juicio Final shows have featured one or more Lucha de Apuestas, or bet matches, the most prestigious match form in lucha libre, with wrestlers fighting for either their hair or their masks. Huracán Ramírez II, Aníbal, Villano III and Averno have all lost their mask at a Juicio Final and El Satánico, Perro Aguayo and Halloween all have been shaved bald as a result of their losses. The Luchas de Apuestas between Villano III and Atlantis was voted the 2000 Wrestling Observer Match of the Year.[2] Juicio Final has hosted only one championship match, which saw the team of Olímpico, Safari and Mr. Niebla defeat Blue Panther, Fuerza Guerrera and El Signo to win the Mexican National Trios Championship.[3] The 2011 Juicio Final event was the only show to host tournament matches as it featured two semi final matches in the Forjando un Ídolo trios tournament.[4]
