Mexican professional wrestling event
Juicio Final (1983) (Spanish for "Final Judgement" 1983) was a professional wrestling supercard show, scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), which took place on December 9, 1983, 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 1983 Juico Final was a two-stage match, starting with a "Relevos Suicida" ("Suicide Relays") where the losing team would be forced to fight each other immediately afterwards, with both risking their hair. Hombre Bala and Masakre defeated Rayo de Jalisco Jr. and El Egipico in the "Relevos Suicida". Subsequently, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. pinned El Egipico to win the last match of the night. After unmasking El Egipico revealed that his real name was Jose Luis Hernandez. In the third-to-last match of the show Enfermero Jr. defeated César Curiel, which meant that Curiel had to have all his hair shaved off. The show included four additional matches.

Background.
For decades Arena México, the main venue of the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), would close down in early December and remain closed into either January or February to allow for renovations as well as letting Circo Atayde occupy the space over the holidays. As a result, CMLL usually held a "end of the year" supercard show on the first or second Friday of December in lieu of their normal Super Viernes show. 1955 was the first year where CMLL used the name "El Juicio Final" ("The Final Judgement") for their year-end supershow. 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".

Storylines.
The 1983 Juicio Final show featured seven professional wrestling matches scripted by CMLL with some wrestlers involved in scripted feuds. The wrestlers portray either heels (referred to as "rudos" in Mexico, those that play the part of the "bad guys") or faces ("técnicos" in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they perform.
