Juicio Final (1990) (Spanish for "Final Judgement") was a professional wrestling supercard show, 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 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 show replaced the regular Super Viernes ("Super Friday") shows held by CMLL since the mid-1930s. This was the second year that CMLL used the name "Jucio Final" for their year-end show, a name they would use on a regular basis going forward, originally for their year even events but later on held at other points in the year.

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 defeat 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.
