So I was watching this for the first time and I picked up on how hot the crowd was. You could tell that everyone wanted to be there and enjoyed TNA. And of course in the front row was the group of guys who dressed up like Jeff Hardy. I just thought it was sad how well over half the roster on the card, isn't in TNA anymore. This was when TNA was at its highest peak...what happened?

The crowd pretty much died when TNA started to bring in plants to sit in the few first rows.

I think the crowd back then was a lot of regulars, people who clearly watched the program and liked it. As time went on I think it became more tourists and plants.

TNA had an awesome crowd back no doubt, but the ratings weren't good and doing so TNA had to change some things. If people would have supported TNA back then, TNA would still be the company it would be back then, but obviously that wasn't the case and instead people bash TNA now and praise the company it was back then when they weren't even supporting the company in the first place. It's all hypocrisy and it's too late.

I supported the company back in 2005, but only so much you can do living in Australia, buying DVDs hand over fist...as soon as Kurt Angle beat Samoa Joe I tightened my grip on my wallet...

Really awesome show. You could even say it's un..beat..able.

Yes, those 2 Scott Steiner/Bobby Lashley Matches were truly perfect. It's tough to compare them, due to how good Angle/Desmond Wolfe was. I'd love to compare Raven/Rhino to it but that'd be down to nostalgia.

I'd love to compare Raven/Rhino to it but that'd be down to nostalgia. Well, Scotty Steiner ain't exactly the most carryin' dude around. He wasn't gonna do much for Lashley in the ring but those matches are fine. TP 09 had the same 3-way that Unbreakable had (and you can argue it was a little better paced than the Unbreakable match just because they didn't have to rely on a lot of crazy spots and they allowed themselves to breathe more than they did in 05), the better of the two Nigel/Wolfe PPV matches, the really rad Tara/Kong cage match and Red vs. Homicide. Unbreakable has that 3-way and Aries vs. Strong as its two strongest matches and while the Unbreakable 3-way kills almost everything on TP 09, I'll take a more consistent card top-to-bottom over a mediocre undercard and one great match at the end. For the record, I'm one of the guys with a ton of nostalgia for that era of TNA. I loved Unbreakable 2005 when it happened and it still has a place in my heart when I think of my favorite TNA shows, but I think TP 09 is a better show top-to-bottom. Final Resolution I guess is a bit of a tougher argument but again, it's a more consistent card. Then again, this is all subjective and we probably like different things.

Yeah dude, you've made your case. TP09 definitely sounds like the better show. I do remember it well, though the story going into it was odd. What with the 'bald guy' jumping AJ every single week having absolutely nothing to do with the match. But then that came into play the next Month at Final Resolution. You're not a fan of the Sabu/Abyss NoDQ Match? Aries and Strong, Sabin and Petey, Abyss and Sabu, Raven and Rhino and the Triple Threat Main event compared to the Cage Match, angle and Wolfe, A 'fine' Red Match and the triple threat is a tough comparison. I'd personally go with the 05 Card but I can see why somebody would get a lot more enjoyment out of the 09 show.

I'd personally go with the 05 Card but I can see why somebody would get a lot more enjoyment out of the 09 show. I generally don't like anything with Sabu. That Sabin/Petey match is one I remember thinking was okay but it wasn't anywhere near as good as their Turning Point 04. Rhino/Raven was cool to me at the time because it was right at the end of the big OMG ECW nostalgia kick I was on that summer but watching it now, I honestly think their Backlash 01 match is miles better. It's a tough call either way, it really does come down to what you prefer. If you liked when TNA had a bit more hardcore stuff going on, Unbreakable's a better fit plus you get an excellent main and a great Aries/Roddy match. I'm not so big on hardcore wrestling plus to me, TP has a more consistent card. Both shows are rad, though. This is nice. It's not often when you can have a discussion about TNA on the internet and not having it turn into people insulting one another. Landmark night in the industry, folks.

TNA's glory years, I miss those days.
And yea, those Jeff Hardy fans were there every time. I remember they would put the camera on one of the kids during Jeff's entrances and the kid would do Jeff's dance and hand motions into the camera.

TNA 2005-2006 was awesome. As was late 2009. Unbreakable happened to be the first TNA Pay-Per-View that I ever saw live. Needless to say, for a little while, I was hooked on their product.

Was the 2005 Unbreakable show the one with the Joe/Styles/Daniels X-Division title match that gets rave reviews? I'm ashamed to say I've never got to sit through that entire match in one sitting.

Yes, that's the X Division Title match that got to main event and was one of the best matches I've ever seen.
