All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and its weekly Wednesday night show “Dynamite” are set to pass a major milestone in the pro wrestling world.
The April 16 episode of “Dynamite” on TBS will mark the show’s 289th, meaning it has officially aired longer than the 288 episodes produced by WCW’s “Monday Nitro,” which aired on fellow Turner network TNT from 1995-2001.
“It had a major influence on anyone that was watching wrestling at that time,” AEW president, CEO and general manager Tony Khan said of “Nitro” in an interview with Variety. “Some of the real highlights of ’90s professional wrestling happened on that show.”
