Impact 232​

Impact episode 232 took place from the Impact Zone and aired on December 4, 2008. It was the go-home show for Final Resolution 2008. Well, one of them. In their infinite wisdom, TNA decided to run two shows called Final Resolution in the year 2008, both at different ends of the year. This was the go-home show for the December Final Resolution. I like it better as a December PPV name than a January PPV anyway.

BONUSMITE!!

Last night's episode of AEW Dynamite is currently the lowest rated of any Dynamite episode on Cagematch, with 4.26/10. While these ratings tend to normalise over the next few days, it's got a significant gap over the previous holder, which has 4.60/10. Let's take a look at that Dynamite card.

There's not even any full matches shown, just Tony Schiavone showing off a bygone era while Mark Madden sucks Russo's cock with every word. Next!

Nitro 238​

Nitro episode 238 took place from the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO and aired on April 10, 2000. On this episode, Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo showed up together... and rebooted the show! That's what it was called. And all the titles are vacated... so you know what that means! Another tournament! A six-man tournament! Oh, by the way, this was the GO-HOME NITRO for Spring Stampede 2000. Resetting the show the week before the PPV. Genius stuff. Wonder why Nitro's not on TV anymore?
