Production

Background

The first Throwback Throwdown was a special episode of Impact that aired on November 26, 2019, and saw wrestlers portraying 1980's characters and gimmicks in the fictional Impact Provincial Wrestling Federation (IPWF). On September 26, 2023, Impact announced that Throwback Throwdown IV would take place on November 11 at Don Kolov Arena in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada as a television special.

Storylines

The event will be featured several professional wrestling matches, and wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters. Due to the nature of the event, the storylines for Throwback Throwdown IV were self-contained and independent from the rest of Impact's programming.

Preliminary matches

In the opening contest, Rapid Delivery Pete faced Kamikazi. In the closing stages, Kamikazi delivered two jawbreakers to Pete for a two-count. Kamikazi then locked in a sleeper hold on Pete, but Pete escaped with a back suplex.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2023 Impact Wrestling event” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q123515649. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023, 2019 and 1980.

Critical limits

Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
