Juicio Final (1955)
Juicio Final (1955) (Spanish for "Final Judgement" 1955) was a professional wrestling supercard show, scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), which took place on December 2, 1955, in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The show 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 first confirmed Jucio Final show saw El Santo further build his legacy as one of the top wrestlers of his time as he defeated Halcón Negro to force Halcón to remove his mask under Lucha de Apuestas ("bet match") rules. Halcón Negro took his mask off and stated that his name was Manuel Quintana. The show included six additional matches.
