Cagematch has JYD's last match listed as November 24th, 1995 for NWA Florida at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami Florida - I find it hard to believe this event took place there. Does anyone have any info on this ?

I know nothing but speculation, etc. But I remember that back in the day they didn't wrestle IN Joe Robbie Stadium, they would set up shop in the parking lot. Unless they were given the place for free, there is zero chance NWA Florida could pay the rent on Joe Robbie as I remember it was quite high. Even Eddie Graham had a hard time working the Orange Bowl because of the cost of doing business.

Wasn't his last appearance in ECW? Possibly not in a match but in an in-ring legend segment?

Definitely wasn't JYD's last match but I am now very curious about this show and the connection with Joe Robbie Stadium. |

I'm curious too, as they had rooms beneath the Joe Robbie playing field (all along the base of the stadium) where you could set up conferences, etc. But I don't know if any had a high enough ceiling for Wrestling, and they still cost an arm and a leg to rent those rooms. |
