If the Brawl for All highlighted one thing, it's that the world of professional wrestling and legitimate combat sports should be kept as far apart as humanly possible. And that's something Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle learned the hard way during an especially appalling attempt to haze a number of 2004's Tough Enough class.

On the back of dumping Chris Nawrocki on his arse and breaking his ribs in the process, the Wrestling Machine demanded another young star step up to the shoot plate during a segment on November 4's SmackDown. Unbeknownst to Kurt, however, his next challenge in Daniel Puder had some mixed martial arts experience under his belt and successfully caught the WWE main eventer in a rather painful Kimura Lock.

Sensing Angle would rather have his arm snapped off than be embarrassed by the newcomer, Jimmy Koderas quickly dropped down to the mat and counted Puder's shoulders down for a three-count, despite the Tough Enough contestant lifting himself up after two.

And while a potentially even worse scenario was just about staved off by the WWE official, fans could still sense sh*t had most definitely hit the fan from the second Kurt found himself tied up by the enthusiastic rookie.
