Juicio Final (1966)
Juicio Final (1966) (Spanish for "Final Judgement" 1966) was a professional wrestling supercard show, scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), which took place on December 13, 1966, 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 was a rematch of one of the most well-known lucha matches of the mid-20th century as El Santo face off against longtime rival Black Shadow, defeating him again once more as he did in 1952 when he unmasked Black Shadow. The show also featured two semi-final matches in a tournament to determine the next challengers for the Arena México Tag Team Championship. In one semi-final match, La Ola Blanca ("The White Wave"; Ángel Blanco and Dr. Wagner) defeated Los Espantos ("The Terrors"; Espanto I and Espanto II) to advance in the tournament. In the other semi-main event match Dory Dixon and Mil Máscaras defeated Los Rebeldes (Karloff Lagarde and Rene Guajardo) by disqualification.
