WINNERS: Tiger Mask & Curry Man in 4:00. Standard, short tag match. Curry Man = greatness, but there was no back story for it mean to much. As in all wrestling storylines, follow-up is key. And why Hoyt & Rave & Hemme suddenly think they're Rock stars could use an explanation. But, that's asking way too much, and is probably more trouble than its worth. (*)

Video: A very fast-paced Brock Lesnar training video aired. He did a sit-down interview talking about people starving for a real heavyweight. He said this isn't b.s. because he's coming to win. Kurt Angle, doing his interview portion from the Impact Zone, said Lesnar is training nine hours a day. Dana White said Lesnar is dedicated to becoming UFC heavyweight champion. Lesnar said he doesn't think Frank Mir is a badass. Angle said Lesnar was world-class material in wrestling, and he'll be the same in MMA.

In-ring: Borash and Val were back in the ring to announce Samoa Joe as the MVP of 2007. Joe came out on stage with his nose turned up with a "yeah, that's right" smirk. Joe looked at the table holding the trophy, then Joe took the mic from Borash. Joe said the fans have spoken that he's the most valuable wrestler in TNA, but he can't figure out why he hasn't gotten his Heavyweight Title match. Borash was hesitant to answer that Joe had a title shot a few months ago, but Joe didn't win the belt. Joe said that's the right answer, but tonight, that's the wrong answer. Joe smashed Borash with a clothesline, then Val ran out of the ring. Jim Cornette then stormed the ring as Joe smashed the MVP trophy into millions of little pieces. Kevin Nash hit the ring and held Joe back while Cornette backed away. Security dragged Borash off.

Cornette cut a promo that Joe got screwed last week. He said it happens in all sports - baseball, football, basketball. Fans didn't like that excuse. Cornette said they can't change the finish, as it's Christian vs. Angle for the title at the PPV. He said he wants to make Joe the special enforcer for the title match. Joe smirked and Nash didn't sell with a reaction. Cornette said if Joe agrees to it, he'll guarantee him a title match at the next PPV. After consulting with Nash, Joe shook his head no. Cornette asked how he can make this right. Joe said he wants a five-year exclusive deal with TNA. He said he wants to get paid 15 percent more than Kurt Angle. If he gets his money and terms, he'll maybe just stop acting like a pain in the ass. Cornette said he can't make that call on the spot. Joe didn't give him any leeway. Cornette then stammered out that he'll have the deal next week. They quickly shook hands, then Joe smiled and picked up what was left of the trophy.
