I saw a post on a certain website that I don't like but still repeatedly go on, that told me that if you compare the Dynamite episode numbers to the Nitro episode numbers, the number of Dynamite episodes (including tonight's) would reach July 1999 on Nitro. I found that really interesting, so I decided to make this thread, giving the cards for various wrestling TV shows that are on the same episode number.

Episode list​

198 | 199 | 200 | 201 | 202 | 203 | 204

I would say that Impact, match-wise, probably not as lit as it may seem :lol

Strongly assuming none of the matches were actually very good despite who was involved in some of them

That being said, I was definitely a major TNA mark in 2008 and with that nostalgia, would probably still enjoy rewatching it.

It's the Rock n Rave Infection brother. They came out with Guitar Hero guitars. Plus Christy was a smokeshow. Great times.

Also there's a reason why that Nitro looks so trash, it was being booked by Kevin Nash at the time, who I maintain was a worse booker than even Russo
