#2 Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe
Kurt Angle made his TNA debut on October 19 as a face, confronting Samoa Joe after Joe refused to relinquish the NWA World Heavyweight Championship belt that he had stolen from Champion Jeff Jarrett. Kurt headbutted Joe in what was dubbed the 'Headbutt heard around the world', to officially kick-start their feud.
To TNA's credit, Angle and Joe gave the most believable pull-apart brawls in wrestling history, in such a short amount of time, they really made you believe they wanted to destroy each other. Kurt would defeat Joe at Genesis, ending Joe's 18-month undefeated streak in one-on-one competition. After initially refusing, Kurt granted Joe a rematch at Turning Point the following month, where Joe evened the score, defeating Kurt.

The two had many more believable brawls and segments, before Kurt defeated Joe three falls to two, in a 30 minute Iron Man at Final Resolution. Angle and Joe later re-opened their feud in the summer of 2007, where they had a 'Winner Take All'' match for every Championship in TNA, won by Angle. They feuded once more in 2008, where Joe defeated Kurt for the TNA World Championship at Lockdown 2008.
