Reviews possibly the best month of Mid South Wrestling Association television in its entire history, March 1984, including the countdown and go home for the Last Stampede.

Looks at all the action, interviews and angles that set up the biggest box office month and second biggest Superdome show in MSWA history.

Marvels at how annoying Jim Cornette has become and just how satisfying it is — even for a fan of the Midnight Express — to see Cornette finally get humiliated.

Discusses the knee lift that killed the Dog's Yard and the bicycle mistake that may have kept the Superdome crowd from being the biggest MSWA Dome show ever.

Notes all the body language, symbolism and interviews that make this angle so good.

Enjoys all the tag team action.

Notices a new JYD discovery posted on social media.
