MJF issues statement regarding AEW Dynamite surpassing WCW Monday Nitro in total episodes

The final episode of WCW Monday Nitro was #286 and took place on March 26th 2001. With AEW Dynamite set to surpass Nitro in total episodes, a special edition of Dynamite will take place tonight to celebrate the milestone.

MJF posted the following messages via Twitter/X in regards to AEW’s accomplishment…

“What Nitro was able to achieve changed wrestling. I’m proud of the fact that like Nitro (but longer 😉) Dynamite has managed to give both fans (from an entertainment standpoint) and professional wrestlers (from a fiscal standpoint) an alternative. And to think none of this would be possible without me carrying the company solely on my back for all these years… You’re truly welcome.”

And to think none of this…
