If you are a fan of MVP, you might want to avoid SmackDown! this week (SPOILERS)

I'm not a big fan of the pushing through losing thing. Not with MVP, anyway. He's losing [I]too[/I much for my tastes. And far too consistently, too. It's also looking like a lack of his abilties, and not so much a bad streak of luck. I'm feeling that this is actually punishment for MVP, and while it won't last forever (obviously), I think it may have a negative effect on how he is perceived by fans.

Also, what is this bonus going to achieve? He comes out and says "Hey, look guys, I am richer because I won one match." Where's that going to go? He's already rich in storyline terms. I think the journey is the point here, and not the destination.

Personally, I'm thinking a face turn for MVP would freshen him up a great deal. I actually called his involvement in CM Punk's stuff with Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes at No Mercy (although I got the specifics wrong -- I thought MVP might hold a VIP Lounge with CM Punk as a guest). It would have been nice to follow that up with a move to RAW and somewhat of a face turn for MVP. If not a complete move to RAW, he very easily could have explained that he has such a good agent that he can ensure that he makes some RAW appearances to teach these young guys a lesson.

But anyway, I hope MVP is fine after this, but I'm thinking the "climax" to this losing streak stuff is simply going to be MVP getting a win against a jobber, celebrating the following week with some streamers and confetti, before some bigger face comes out and calls MVP out for making a big deal over one measly win, setting up a program between the two. Then we'll be exactly where we were with MVP...well, where we've always been with MVP: Upper mid-card heel.
