Juicio Final (1993) (

supercard shows, scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). The two shows took place on December 3 and December 10, 1993, in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The shows served as the year-end finale for CMLL before Arena México, CMLL's main venue, closed down for the winter for renovations and to host Circo Atayde . The shows replaced the regular Super Viernes
("Super Friday") shows held by CMLL since the mid-1930s.

The main event of the December 3 show was a

Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match, which is considered a higher profile match type than a championship match in Lucha Libre. The match saw Mano Negra defeated Bestia Salvaje
, two falls to one, to win the match. Afterwards Bestia Salvaje was forced to stand in the middle of the ring as his hair was shaved off in accordance with lucha libre traditions. That show featured four additional matches

For the December 10 show, Kato Kung Lee and Mocho Cota both risked their hair in another Lucha de Apuestas, hair vs. hair match, that saw Cota cheat to defeat Kato Kung Lee. As a result Lee was shaved bald afterwards. On the undercard Último Dragón successfully defended the UWA World Middleweight Championship against El Felino. The December 10 show featured three additional matches.

Background

For decades

supercard show on the first or second Friday of December in lieu of their normal Super Viernes show. 1989 is the first year where CMLL used the name "El Juicio Final" ("The Final Judgement") for their year end supershow.[4][5]
December 8, 1989[5] It is no longer 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".[6]
