It was one of these competitions the WWE has where a bunch of young wrestler wannabees go through training and competitions of different kinds to prove their worth. The prize is a wrestling contract and $250,000. Each week the fans vote, and one of them has to leave. In this case, there were a few tough guys left, and the task was to wrestle Kurt Angle, who took them all down with insulting ease. Except for Puder. He got Angle into a grip and you could see Angle failing. I dont know if he said anything or someone ringside got Puder to realise he was in big trouble if he won, but Angle got the pin. It looked really bad, but if you were drunk or smashed like most WWE fans you may have blinked and missed it. If you were concentrating, its all there. Angle was said to be recovered/recovering from a bad injury at the time.
Still I'm a big fan of Angle, so i buy the "injured" excuse. But they never saw Puder the same way again after that. I bet they were hoping he'd get cut each week after that, but he won. Very tough guy. And they fired him a little while ago. You decide.
