PLAY BY PLAY

Controversy over the Cruiserweight Championship!

Angel Garza took Lio Rush to his limit in an instant classic, but a ropebreak was missed! The Living Piece of Gold holds onto his gold, but Garza vented his grievances out to The Mrs. of the Hour! She told him to take his complaining and walk, but Garza blew her a kiss anyway. Will there be more to this budding rivalry than a one-off at Full Sail?

A new commentator gets called up from NXT!

With Tom Phillips getting busier with NXT UK, Aiden English is joined by one Jon Quasto! Can Quasto keep up with the Cruiserweight action?

Angel Garza VS Jack Gallagher!

Garza may not have gold, but there’s always a second chance. Can he start the climb back up against The Extraordinary Gentleman?

The bell rings and Garza grins at Gallagher before circling with him. Garza offers a handshake, as Gallagher is a gentleman. Gallagher does go to take it, but Garza leaves him hanging. It seems there’s only one gentleman after all. Gallagher chases Garza then drops down, but Garza stands over him to body scissor roll up! TWO, and Gallagher has the legs hooked. Gallagher stomps the knees! Then he has a standing toehold, but Garza trips him to get his own, and he splashes on the leg! Garza drags Gallagher around, wanting a Half Crab, but Gallagher turns out to trip Garza up. Gallagher has the toehold again but Garza turns over to go after Gallagher’s leg. Garza has the toehold again and Gallagher’s shoulders are down, ONE!

Garza turns Gallagher over, locks the legs and grabs the head for a take on the Bow ‘n’ Arrow. Gallagher endures the bend but Garza goes after his eyes. Gallagher pops out to get a headlock, but Garza gets to his feet. Garza powers out but Gallagher goes up and under to waistlock. They run to ropes and Garza bucks Gallagher off, only for Gallagher to hurdle. Garza hurdles, Gallagher tilt-o-whirls around and around, but Garza makes it a facebuster! Cover, TWO! Garza keeps his cool and drags Gallagher up to put in a corner. Garza trips Gallagher’s arms to CHOP him in the chest! Garza drags Gallagher up into a dragon sleeper, inverted suplex and then a rebound before the impact! Gallagher sits up and Garza basement dropkicks him down! Cover, TWO!

Garza keeps his cool as he looms over Gallagher. Garza drags Gallagher up but Gallagher throws hands and even European Uppercuts. Gallagher runs in but Garza counters the monkey flip to put Gallagher on the ropes. Garza sweeps out the legs, then dropkicks Gallagher in the gut! And off come the pants! Garza grins as Gallagher flounders, Garza mule kicks him in the face! Cover, TWO! Garza gets frustrated, whips Gallagher, and pops him up for a kick! Cover, TWO! Garza grabs Gallagher again but cradle counter, TWO! Garza LARIATS Gallagher down! Garza puts Gallagher in a grounded abdominal stretch and pulls way back on Gallagher’s leg. Gallagher endures, fans rally up and Gallagher fights his way up, only for Garza to throw him down. Garza is right back on the stretch but fans still rally.

Gallagher fights again, and throws hands. Gallagher counter punches Garza and fires off, to whip. Garza reverses, Gallagher dodges to ROCK Garza with a right! Gallagher scoops and slams Garza fast, then brings Garza back up in underhooks, butterfly suplex! Cover, TWO! Gallagher grows frustrated himself now, clubs Garza on the back at the ropes, and fires up int a windmill of fists! Garza puts Gallagher on the apron and elbows back, then runs to slide. Gallagher goes over but Garza YANKS him back down! Garza builds speed but Gallagher ducks. Garza CHOPS Gallagher on the back! Garza puts Gallagher in the ring, powerbomb lifts, but Gallagher slips out to Gentleman’s HEADBUTT! Garza is groggy but so is Gallagher. Gallagher glares as he runs corner to corner, but the Gentleman’s Dropkick misses! Garza rolls Gallagher, with tights! Garza wins!!

Winner: Angel Garza, by pinfall

It seems that since Garza feels cheated, he decides to cheat back. Controversy continues, but will Garza continue towards another championship match?

Gallagher hears Aiden English talking bad about his loss, and gets upset. He tells English to watch what he says, but English says he’s just calling it like he sees it. Philly wants to see a fight but Gallagher keeps his cool. Will cooler heads prevail as 205 Live pushes ahead?

WWE 24/7 Championship: Samir Singh w/ Sunil VS Tim Gange!

The Bollywood Boys have both held this championship, and back each other up when it comes to keeping it. And they’ve even “customized” the title by sticking Bollywood stickers all over it, unofficially making this the Bollywood 24/7 Championship. However, putting the title on the line in a traditional match going to cost them?

Samir and Sunil take up mics and say, “Everybody’s talking about it!” No, fans are booing. But what Samir means is that, as of midnight tonight, aka tomorrow, he will be the longest reigning 24/7 Champion in history! Philly, to celebrate the milestone, the Singhs will sing a song from their next Bollywood blockbuster! That’s right, the Singhs sing! Samir clears his throat and sings in Punjabi. It is pretty clear the song is about being champion. But Philly doesn’t appreciate Bollywood. And Gange is Philly’s finest? Philly sure thinks so. “Well thank goodness the 24/7 title rules are resting tonight.” Because these two will have a handful with him. Plot twist: the Singhs are a package deal, a dynamic duo. This match is a HANDICAP! The stakes were just raised on Gange, but can he overcome the odds?

WWE 24/7 Championship Handicap: The Singh Brothers VS Tim Gange!

The belt is raised, the bell rings, and it’s #LightsCameraAndBollywoodAction! Gange circles with the Singhs but he gets surrounded and mugged! The Bollywood Boys stomp Gange down then back off to hip swivel. Samir and Sunil double whip Gange corner to corner, then Sunil whips Samir for Samir to whip Sunil. But Gange dodges! Sunil gets buckles and Gange fires off dropkicks! Fans fire up for Gange as he whips Sunil and elbows him down! Gange fires up with Philly as he goes after Samir to whip again. Samir slips out of the scoop, Sunil anchors Gange and Samir clobbers him! The Bollywood Boys beat Gange down with fists and stomps, then swivel again.

Samir drags Gange up, Sunil is rolling, SUPERKICK LEG SWEEP! Gange is hurting from that one, but Sunil has an idea to finish this. He drags Gange up and around as fans chant “This is AWFUL!” Samir climbs up and Sunil scoops, backbreaker elbow drop! The Bollywood Blast! Cover, the Singhs win!

Winners: The Singh Brothers, Samir pinning; Samir is still WWE 24/7 Champion

The 24/7 rules are back in action, though, so the Bollywood Boys are careful not to have someone sneak up and surprise them. With the brothers watching each other’s backs 24/7, will anyone ever dethrone them?

205 Live shares the backstage interview from after NXT.

Jon Quasto was with Lio Rush and his wife to ask about everything in that title match. Was Garza Lio’s match? If that was true, Garza would’ve won. Garza disrespected Lio, his family, and then he lost. “That’s what happens when you run your mouth against The Man of the Hour.” This is starting to get personal. Lio tells if Garza ever steps to his wife again, Lio promises that Garza’s face will be permanently rearranged. Will Garza get the message? Or will this just encourage Garza to step over the line again?

Lio Rush & Raul Mendoza VS Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari!

Putting Garza aside, the Man of the Hour has gone toe-to-toe with his tag team partner a couple times, which is why he’s willing to team up with him at all. Mendoza may have lost to Lio but he won the champ’s respect. Can they keep that respect going against the Premier Athlete and Privileged Persian Lion? Or will the Abs of 205 Live and Daivari Dinero both show they’re worthy of being up next for the title?

The teams sort out Mendoza starts against Daivari. But then Nese blindsides Lio! Daivari clubs Mendoza and tosses him out and the 205 Live originals soak up the heat. Lio runs in, Nese blocks the superkick to hand it off to Daivari. But Lio swings an enziguri, Daivari ducks and Nese takes the hit! Daivari whips Lio but Mendoza missile dropkicks back in! Mendoza helps Lio build speed with a whip, LOPE takes out Nese! Mendoza slingshots to pescado Daivari! Fans fire up for the Man of the Hour and Mendoza! Mendoza goes out to get Daivari and wrenches him to a shoulder breaker. Mendoza also wristlocks, tag to Lio, and Lio hops up for dumdum stomps to the arm! Lio wrenches Daivari and kicks out a leg to wrench again. Tag to Mendoza, and he climbs up to dumdum stomp the arm, too!

Mendoza drags Daivari up to yank the arm down. Daivari reaches but Mendoza yanks him away to yank the arm again. Tag to Lio, and they double whip Daivari for double elbows. They roll Daivari back, Mendoza basement dropkicks, Lio splashes! Cover, TWO! Lio tells Nese this is on Lio’s time, and he goes back to Daivari for a chinlock. Daivari endures but Lio hooks a leg. Daivari still stands up and slips Lio off his back to back suplex. Lio lands on his feet and waistlocks, but Nese tags in as Lio O’Conner rolls Daivari. Nese throws Lio out hard! The ref keeps Nese back, but that allows Daivari to LARIAT Lio down! Mendoza protests but the Cruiserweight OG get away with it. Nese stands Lio up to CHOP him, then put him in the ring. Cover, ONE, but Nese stays on him.

Nese drags Lio over to tag in Daivari. They mug Lio in the corner but let up at the count of 4. Daivari drags Lio up by his hair and CHOPS him off his feet! Daivari grins and soaks up the heat while Lio flounders to the corner. Lio kicks back but Daivari kicks him down. Daivari whips and elbows Lio down, then covers, TWO!

Lio reaches for Mendoza but has to punch Nese more. Nese drags Lio away but LIo breaks free. Lio kicks, Nese blocks and flips Lio back! But Lio almost reaches Mendoza! Nese whips Lio right out of the ring, and Daivari runs in again. But Lio turns it around to ROCK Daivari! Lio runs but Nese gives chase, hot tag to Mendoza!

Mendoza roundhouses then crossbodies! Mendoza rallies with clotheslines and dropkicks, then he goes corner to corner, big forearm smash! Twisting suplex! LIONSAULT! Cover, but Daivari breaks it! Daivari drags Mendoza up, whips, but Mendoza reverses and follows. Daivari stops himself, only to get the running enziguri! Nese trips Mendoza and drags him out of the ring hard! Nese goes back in and tags Daivari for Daivari to fetch Mendoza. Daivari rams Mendoza into barriers hard! And then Daivari laughs in the face of the fans! Mendoza writhes but Daivari swaggers about. Daivari stomps Mendoza then puts him back in the ring. Mendoza crawls but Nese tags in. The 205 OG double suplex Mendoza and hold him up for 10 before dropping him! Cover, TWO! Nese drags Mendoza back to the corner to tag Daivari. They double back suplex Mendoza down! Cover, TWO! Mendoza is showing his toughness and Philly rallies, but Daivari drags Mendoza away.

Mendoza shoves Daivari away but Nese tags in to stomp Mendoza and cheap shot Lio! Nese turns around into body shots from Mendoza, but he CHOPS Mendoza back.

Tag to Mendoza, and he scoops Nese for the swing-out, swing-over powerslam!! Cover, TWO!? Nese survives and Mendoza can’t believe it! But Mendoza drags Nese into position and goes for Lio. But Daivari trips Lio and rams him into barriers!

Mendoza wrecks Daivari and springboards, into a SHORYUKEN! Nese heads up top, Premier 450! But it FLOPS! Lio takes Daivari out and tags in, to climb up, FINAL HOUR FROG SPLASH! Cover, Lio and Mendoza win!

Winners: Lio Rush & Raul Mendoza, Rush pinning

A successful team-up for Rush and Raul, and they took care of two long-standing Cruiserweight superstars. Even with Garza’s gripes and games, is Mendoza’s momentum moving him into pole position?

My Thoughts:

A really good episode with just a stinker of a second act. I’ll say right now that I actually agree, that was an awful way to use the 24/7 Championship on one of the more exciting hours of WWE’s week. Philly was not having that promo, and that handicap match was sloppy. I feel like the Singhs actually hurt Gange’s leg on that combination attack. And then they ran off without anyone chasing them, but were acting like there was someone chasing them… They should’ve had someone actually show up to chase them! But then surprise surprise, it’s mostly because the WWE Draft sucked 205 Live dry. There aren’t enough Cruiserweights for this title on 205 Live, yet I think because of that title, it should allow non-Cruiserweights to show up randomly. Send Truth to 205 Live, he could even pretend to be someone else, or fake being under 205. Something other than a sloppy squash match that just stunk.

But cutting that out, we got two great matches, even if Philly was bored with the opener. That was a good Garza VS Gallagher, could’ve stood to be longer and thereby better, but it seems time was needed for that sloppy Singh Brothers match. Garza gets a sneaky win so it’s not like Gallagher suffers that badly. I’m curious about Gallagher getting mad at Aiden English. Is English going to return to in-ring action? Or is he getting a proxy? And who would that proxy even be? There are still not that many Cruiserweight Division wrestlers that can be used. And then the tag team match was a lot of fun. It took a minute but it got Philly back into things. I do appreciate commentary (by the way, Quasto did pretty good his first night, but he literally has a voice just like Vic Joseph’s) putting it as the OG versus a new generation. But given the rolls Lio and Mendoza are both on, they had to win. I would love to see Mendoza go against Garza for one of them (definitely Garza) to earn a shot at Lio for TakeOver.

My Score: 8/10

Andrew’s TNA iMAPCT! & Unbreakable Results & Match Ratings: 4.17.2025

iMPACT is the Pre-Show, Unbreakable is a TNA+ Special! See what happened!

Published

Andrew Balaz

iMPACT! is getting the old Heat treatment as a TV episode pre-show. While nothing about the iMPACT episode seems overly intriguing, they all actually have narrative weight, and since the last two weeks have been devoid of weight and general cohesion…this might be a surprisingly good episode which would serve as a better pre-show than expected.

I’m still mad that it’s a damn Thursday and they want to have 4-5 hours of show because WrestleMania reasons. Even WWE realized doing long shows before workdays was stupid, so NJPW giving them the idea to break Mania into two nights is a boon for everyone over thirty.

Also the main reason I’m doing a joint article. Since Unbreakable starts immediately after iMPACT, I’m not gonna put up back to back articles. One stop shoppin it!

Will @AJFrancis410 be crowned the FIR$T TNA International Champion TONIGHT at #TNAUnbreakable?!

Results:

Laredo vs Jason Hotch w/Tasha Steelz

Laredo starts quick with a Straight Right, Tijeras, a few quick strikes, kicks Hotch out of the ring, wants a Plancha, but Tasha gets in the way to stop Laredo’s offense which gives Hotch an opening. Quick trip, a few chops and a hard Irish Whip has Laredo trying to catch his breath. Hotch tries to go for another Strong Irish Whip but Laredo reverses, two kicks, Flying Neckbreaker into a Missile Dropkick sending Hotch to the outside. Laredo finally pulls off his Suicida, and he’s rolling. Corner Forearm, Uno Mass Corkscrew Moonsaults, but Hotch manages to get away after two. A Snap Jab staggers Laredo, Ali style Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker and Hotch tries to take things to the top. But Laredo counters and Avalanche Michinoku Driver…only for two.

Laredo tries to keep things going, Back Handspring Crossbody, but Hotch catches him, big Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker for two. Hotch looks to the corner and then gets scared because he thinks Santana might strike, Hotch and Tasha argue, Laredo recovers and runs up the corner and hits the Laredo Fly for the win.

Jazmyn Nyx w/Fatal Influence vs Xia Brookside w/Lei Ying Lee

Jazmyn and Xia go for a chain wrestling or World of Sport kind of start. Xia even gets out of the Head Scissors with the classic Hand Stand and pop. After a little taunting, Jazmyn tries to charge but Xia loops around for a flash Cradle, Nyx kicks out quick and retreats to her Fatal Influence friends for a breather. Xia catches her with a Dropkick, a few strikes and starts putting things together until Jazmyn catches her in the corner and Snake Eyes Xia the hard way and then starts leaning her into the ropes, a few Leg Sweeps, PK kicks and Jazmyn is in control. Fisherman’s Suplex Hold from Jazmyn but Xia kicks at two. She tries to fight back up but Jazmyn is using her positioning to keep control. Bulldog into the middle buckle, puts Xia between the ropes and lays in a Round Kick to her chest and Xia has been eating offense for the last few minutes. The crowd tries to rally the little British Angel, but Jazmyn lays in some forearms, hits the ropes, Xia ducks and they hit stereo High Kicks to double down for a few moments.

Xia starts to rally, gets a few shots in, Tijeras, Xia tries Angel Wings but Jazmyn moves. Jazmyn tries to stay on her, but a Jawbreaker gives Xia time to go to the corner, Xia hits the Crossbody, Angel Wings, and looks for a DDT or something but Fatal Influence get involved distracting everyone. Lei has Fallon hanled, but Jacy is mouthing off causing Rosemary to come down and make a Mist save. Jazmyn tries to be opportunistic, but Xia blocks her move and hits the Small Package for the win.

Overbooked and timing was a bit shoddy in some spots, but not offensive. Not bad, but not good either.

KC Navarro vs Cody Deaner

This is for a spot in the Ultimate X match. Here’s to hoping the Blessed One beats the hell out of the loser who’s about as over as Herpes. Meaning he never goes away, and he’s unlikable. Anyone that says “Funny Underdogs are needed on shows”, isn’t that like 60% of the roster? No one is funny if everyone tries to be funny. KC however, he’s fucking hilarious and amazing.

KC tries to pay off Deaner and get him to forfeit, Deaner of course does the underdog thing of fighting back, dumb looking punches, goofball corner spot that he lengthens to the put of looking dumb and not funny. Oh thank God KC hits the Spiderman in the ropes, ducks Deaner and 305 gets hit for a near fall. Now KC is rolling, nice quick offense, Snapmare, Front Roll Neck Snap, Stomp into Split into cover for only two. Deaner goes for the comeback, and a few Lariats, Bulldog, and everything looks soo stupid. Deaner puts KC in the Airplane spin, gets dizzy and then goes again, TKO for two.

Navarro tries to powder, Deaner goes after him but the ref gets Deaner off of him since KC was in the ropes, KC wraps his necklace around his knuckles and a quick Jab to the face as Deaner tries to suplex him, 1-2-3, Blessed WIN.

If Deaner was the only doofus guy he’d be fine, but when we have Santino, Arianna, Laredo, KC, Great Hands, Brian Myers, Dango, Alisha, Hendry (while not a doofus isn’t close to serious), Kaz, Elegance Brand (all 3 of them), Ryan Nemeth and those are just off the top of my head. Everyone can’t be silly or no one is silly and nothing matters.

Maggie Lee & Heather by Elegance w/Personal Concierge vs Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley

I’m gonna keep any Gigi drooling to a minimum since I respect my boy Wentz, but I will say, you gotta love Hot Topic Hotties. Yes I like walking red flags, I’m self aware, and okay with it.

Maggie and Gigi start, a few quick counters, Gigi manages the Double Hook Cradle for two, then Hot Topic Hotties go tandem with a Dropkick and a Twisting Elbow for another two. Tatum is officially legal, Maggie looks for the tag but Heather wants to push Maggie more. Which is exactly how ASH treated her. Tatum turns it around, Gigi tags in, Poetry Bronco, and then Kawada Kicks from Gigi. Concierge distracts, Maggie grabs her, Heather takes the cheap shot, Suplex from Maggie for two. Heather and Maggie get some offense in together, and Heather is working Gigi over in the heel corner. Unicorn Stampede essentially. Heather goes for a pinfall and its only 2. Heather is getting frustrated, Gigi with an Upkick headscissors, Heather tries to stop the tag out, but eats the Mule Kick.

Tatum starts beating on Heather, rams Heather into Maggie, Cartwheel Peach Sunrise, tags in Gigi, Double Headbutts and Cemetery Drive from the Hot Topic Hotties and everyone wins. Jesus…will never leave this chat, he started it.

Jakara Jackson w/Lash Legend vs Dani Luna w/Jody Threat

Things start a little slow, Collar & Elbow tie up that they won’t relent for a while, Jakara tries to turn it into a Headlock Takeover, but Dani is too strong. Dani gets a few shots in, hops the rope for something but Lash makes her present felt and trips Dani while Jakara distracts the referee. The referee didn’t see anything but ejects Lash anyway. Lash won’t go, tries to intimidate the ref and say no. Jakara keeps things moving against Dani while Lash takes her sweet time slowly walking away. Jakara tries a Roll-Up but Dani too thicc to keep down. Dani fights back up, scoops Jakara and drops her unceremoniously.

Jakara starts laying in a bunch of Falling Knees and gets a quick two, before locking in a Cravat that Dani tries to fight out of. Dani counters out of it, ducks the Line, and they crash into each other with Forearms. The Double Fall Down spot is a little played out and this is only the pre-show really.

Dani levels Jakara with a few Lariats, looks for the Luna Landing, Jakara slips it so Dani comes off the ropes with a Busaiku Knee. Luna wants a Blue Thunder but Jakara gets away until Luna grabs her again for the Rebound Blue Thunder Bomb and a near fall. Luna charges the corner, misses, Jakara hits the Tornado DDT, but only two. Jakara tries to ram Dani’s head into the buckles, but Luna blocks, fires and takes Jakara’s head off, Luna Landing gets his and Dani wins!

Elijah has a promo segment and they have a really Sesame Street style “Walk this Way” words on the screen thing. When they did the bouncing ball lyrics with Ron Killings, it was at least cool. This comes off as corny and low budget public broadcasting crap just for Elijah to announce an open challenge at Rebellion or something. Admittedly I zoned out cause I figured it would be nothing of note.

Leon Slater vs Brian Myers

Myers and Slater start in a shoving match jawing at each other, and then Leon lays in a Shoulder Tackle off the ropes, some jumping crap and Myers is getting bounced from corner to corner like a dork. Leon tries to continue the Around the World but a punch, Thrust Kick and Irish Whip across the ring gives him some confidence, but he eats the Feint Mule Kick, Back Handspring Back Elbow…and again System matches are “look stupid and get beat up for 70% of the match until a shortcut can be taken”. Speaking of short cuts, Leon goes for his Corner Leap, Myers guards from it, Leon repositions but gets tripped and eats a Spear. Then…we go to commercial.

Coming out of the commercials Myers is still in control. Leon slips out of a suplex and then connects with a flurry of offense, Myers eats more kicks than I can count, powders, Leon does his corner post leap, comes in and looks to win but an Implant DDT, dick kick and Roster Cut gives Myers the win.

Overall iMPACT! Rating: 5/10

Nothing special but at least it made some sense and was a better than the last few episodes. Low bar comparatively. Now immediately onto Unbreakable! So because this is a long night, I figured I’d do a Watch A Long with Mat Sarpraicone over on Dirt Sheet Radio because I have zero faith in Unbreakable being worth the 2-3 hours it will take to watch it.

So you’ll get quick results with ratings and an overall thoughts at the end of Unbreakable from me, because it’s late and I needed something to keep me awake.

Overall Unbreakable Rating: 4.5/10

The iMPACT! episode was easier to watch and digest, three Triple Threats is too many and the Main Event being a slow paced triple threat after a Barb Wire match and a bunch of faster matches really doesn’t resonate well with fans. Even though I didn’t love the Sami vs Mance match, ending on carnage and the “babyface” winning would’ve been a much better way to send the crowd home happy and we wouldn’t have needed so much time fill during the last hour of the show.

Maclin being the inaugural International Champion is cool, setting up the first defense against Eric Young is good for their story, so most of the marks were hit. It just was too damn slow and had no business being a main event. Champions vs Challengers was okay, but it only really picked up when Masha and Tessa were mixing it up. I liked Moose having the extended squash match for shits and giggles, but two Triples back to back to open the show is an easy way to burn out a crowd. Sure the Moose match was an extended piss break to recharge the crowd, but the card was just laid out awkwardly and things felt like far more of a chore than they should have.

All in all this was a very lame event. Yes I get it was purely stop gap to take advantage of WrestleMania weekend, but with Rebellion next week, we all knew it wasn’t gonna shake things up too much. But hot damn was I about to fall asleep if I wasn’t doing the watch-a-long to not pass out.
