TNA Unbreakable
Encyclopedia
Unbreakable was a professional wrestling
pay-per-view
(PPV) event held by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
, which took place on September 11, 2005 from the TNA Impact! Zone
in Orlando, Florida
. Nine professional wrestling matches
were featured on the event's card
.
To this date, the event is the only TNA PPV to have, exclusively, the TNA X Division Championship
on the line in the main event; Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle would later have a match at Hard Justice in 2007 for all of TNA's titles, which included the X-Division championship. Despite his not winning the match, TNA continued to claim that Samoa Joe was undefeated after this event, as he was not pinned and did not submit. The match, a 3-way dance between Joe, A.J. Styles
, and Christopher Daniels
, was (to date) the only TNA match ever given a rare five star rating by wrestling critic Dave Meltzer
.
Sean Waltman
was originally scheduled for the four-way tag match as the partner of Alex Shelley
. Waltman disappeared, however, and could not be reached prior to the show, nor for about a week following the event. As a result, he was suspended and was not seen on-air until January at Final Resolution in 2006. Johnny Candido
(the brother of deceased superstar Chris Candido
and a wrestler himself) made his first and only TNA appearance. Shelley worked the first few minutes of his match alone until Candido jumped the rail and joined him.
