Back in late 2004, WWE legend Kurt Angle challenged the finalists of Tough Enough to a squat thrust competition. At one point during the segment, Angle hit a double leg takedown on Chris Nawrocki, thus breaking his ribs. Daniel Puder came up next, with Angle succeeding in taking Puder down.
Puder locked Angle in a Kimura Lock in the process and attempted a pin. The referee quickly went for the three count, even though the rookie's shoulders were not fully down. Angle could be seen talking to Puder immediately after the pin and he certainly didn't seem in a good mood.
Puder's act of defiance probably cost him his WWE career. In the 2005 Royal Rumble match, Puder received several hard chops to the chest from Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, and Hardcore Holly. He was then quickly eliminated from the free-for-all and was never used again on the main roster. The Miz, who had lost to Puder in the finals, went on to become a major star in WWE.
