FLASHBACK FRIDAY: Looking back at TNA Unbreakable 2005

Welcome to another edition of Flashback Friday here on WrestlingNewsSource.com! Thought I would do something a little different this week, Samoa Joe has made his debut on the WWE main roster. After years of hard work, Joe has finally received his chance to shine on the biggest stage of them all and we, the fans could not be happier for the man. So, on this week’s Flashback Friday, I thought I would take a look back at a TNA pay per view which featured one of Joe’s five-star rated matches, a match that might be the most famous in TNA history, that being the triple threat match pitting Joe against AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels at Unbreakable 2005 for the X-Division Championship. Let’s do it!

3-Live Kru vs Diamonds In The Rough

David Young and Elix Skipper team up with their mentor Simon Diamond to battle BG James, Konnan and Ron Killings. Diamond is coaching Skipper and Young who have the potential to be stars but seem to always mess up at crucial moments while 3-Live Kru are stronger than ever as they are united after BG James chose Konnan and Killings over former New Age Outlaw partner Kip James. James does his Road Dogg shtick while warming up the crowd with Konnan.

Decent opening match albeit a little on the short side. Strong showing for the recently reunited 3-Live Kru. Not a lot more to say about this match as it was so on the short side.

Another good showing from Austin Aries, both of these men are now in WWE and I am glad for both having watched them throughout the years in ROH. Strong lost but showed a lot to the fans in this match with his arsenal of backbreakers and his chain wrestling while Aries continues to look like a massive deal in wresting thanks to the fact that is he is so smooth in that ring and the 450 Splash is always going to draw a reaction from any crowd.

Winner: Austin Aries over Roderick Strong via 450 Splash!

The Franchise & Monty Brown

Brown and James have an argument backstage before their tag team match against Apolo & Lance Hoyt. Looks like a break up is written in the cards for these two.

Winners: James & Brown over Apolo & Hoyt via POUNCE!

Chris Sabin vs Petey Williams

Sabin and Williams have a lot of history one another, many battles for the X-Division Championship. Tenay explains it was meant to be Shocker vs Sabin but AAA changed Shocker’s booking schedule and Shocker was unable to make the pay per view which explains a lot as these two were nowhere near one another prior to this pay per view.

Sabin is blinded and Sabin lifts the referee. Williams looks for The Canadian Destroyer but Sabin drops out for The Cradle Shock and win the match. Matt Bentley comes out of nowhere and Superkicks Sabin.

Very good match, Sabin and Williams get the fans all-in on the match as the match continues, a lot of hard-hitting action, some good false-finishes. The ending was a little silly in my eyes, was there a need for Sabin to pick up the referee and inject comedy into this serious match? These two have had many matches with one another, the chemistry was there and I would not mind these two battling it out again. Williams was a great replacement for Shocker.

Winner: Sabin over Williams via Cradle Shock!

Abyss W/ James Mitchell vs Sabu (No Disqualification Match)

Abyss interfered in the Sacrifice main event, destroying Sabu and attacking Raven. Jeff Hardy would clear the ring of Abyss but we have Sabu vs Abyss while Jeff Hardy is off fighting Bobby Roode.

Good hardcore match, some people love them and some people hate them. I fall in between, I do not mind them and I can appreciate a good hardcore match. Bumps were nasty but looked great, all the tables bumps looked fantastic and the finish looked spectacular. One thing to take away from this match is Abyss uses the thumbtacks a lot on pay per view, perhaps the thumbtacks would have more emphasis and be more memorable if they were not used so often by the monster.

Winner: Abyss over Sabu via Black Hole Slam on thumbtacks!

Good tag team match, still not a big fan of The Naturals. They just are not clicking with me as the top team of the division, AMW are acting heelish and they are saving the big match between The Naturals & AMW. Waltman is buried on air too during the match, I thought it was an angle until Waltman never appeared and Shelley got a new partner. Anyways, the action was good, nothing sloppy or way off, solid amount of time between eliminations and finish was fun.

Winners: The Naturals over Team Canada via Natural Disaster!

(NWA/TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match) Rhino vs Raven © (Raven’s Rules Match)

Rhino debuted attacking Raven and siding with Jarrett after Raven’s match with Abyss, Rhino pinned Raven at Sacrifice and was awarded a championship match.

It was good but I would like to see something different from Raven and Rhino who I have seen do this type of match throughout their whole career.
