7. Daniel Puder (And The Rest Of Tough Enough)
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x19xy2q_daniel-puder-vs-kurt-angle_sport Tough Enough Season 4 was different from the previous shows, in the fact it took place on Smackdown. It was late 2004 and the stand-out guy was MMA fighter Daniel Puder. In one segment, the rookies got to shoot with Kurt Angle in the Smackdown ring. This was basically an exercise for Angle to humiliate the youngsters. He beat them up a little and then rolled them out of the ring. One guy who got hurt was Chris Nawrocki. Angle busted the guys ribs, so Nawrocki can't have been happy with the veteran. Then came Daniel Puder - the only man who could match Kurt's shoot fight toughness. Puder put Angle in a kimura, a move that pulled Angle's arm to near breaking point. The referee then quickly counted a pin on Puder (even though his shoulders weren't down) to end the contest. Kurt's arm had been seconds away from breaking. Angle was furious and Puder ended up getting buried (even though he won the eventual contract). Just a year later and Puder was released by WWE.
