4 times WWE Superstars actually got hurt in the ring

#4 Daniel Puder - Kurt Angle

'Tough Enough' is one of WWE's reality TV shows. The winner of the show gets a chance to make it to the WWE. One such contestant was Daniel Puder. The winner of the series became famous for all the wrong reasons.

It was an episode of SmackDown which spelled his doom. Kurt Angle, then at the peak of his standing in the company, participated in a segment in which he shoot wrestled with the contestants. They were made to eat and drink before the segment so that they felt bloated. Apparently, Puder skipped that.

In the ring, Angle also allegedly broke a contestant's ribs. Daniel Puder was up next. Everything was seemingly going according to the plan, but what Kurt Angle didn't know was that Puder had an MMA background.

Before Angle could embarrass the rookie, he was put into the Kimura lock by Puder. It was a tough spot to be in, as no selling it would lead to a broken arm, but a top star tapping out to an unknown rookie was out of the question. A referee counted to 3 even though Puder's shoulders weren't touching the mat. Angle had some choice words for him, and refused a handshake.

Daniel Puder was soon out of the company after a brutal punishment at that year's titular Royal Rumble match at the hands of Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, as they hit him with the hardest chops they could muster up.
