* PoorCommunicationKills: The whole wrestling segment with Angle has been called a complete screwup by all involved, starting from the moment in which nobody in charge bothered to leave it clear the rules of the bout. It was officially hosted under amateur wrestling rules, yet Angle used illegal necklocks (and even afterwards, referee Jim Korderas did a pro wrestling 3-count instead of a proper amateur pin).

Daniel Puder (born October 9, 1981) is an American social entrepreneur and retired [[ProfessionalWrestling Professional Wrestler]] and [[UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts Mixed Martial Artist]]. He started as a successful amateur wrestler as a kid, and later expanded his training to MMA before entering the fourth edition of ''Wrestling/WWEToughEnough'' in order to earn a job in Wrestling/{{WWE}}. Puder actually won the edition, but the thing most people know him for was actually a real life scuffle in TV against Olympic gold medalist and WWE veteran Wrestling/KurtAngle. After watching Angle injuring another ''Tough Enough'' contestant in a not very clean amateur wrestling bout, Puder volunteered to give it a try, and he ended up putting Angle in an even less clean armlock which Angle and the referee had to hide with a flimsy pro wrestling pin. Afterwards, Puder was given a similarly real beating by other veterans in his next appearance, wandered between development territories, and was released to no fanfare. He would have two short careers in Wrestling/RingOfHonor and Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, mixed with a low tier MMA career. Puder eventually retired and became an entrepreneur with various charity and anti-bullying programs.

!!Tropes
* ADayInTheLimelight: In true ''Tough Enough'' winner fashion, Puder had a handful of appearances in WWE TV before disappearing.
* BullyingADragon: His shoot match with Angle. As Kurt had previously mauled Chris Nawrocki with an illegal technique, Puder would have had reasons to think the same treatment was awaiting him, so he took the matter in his own hands and shot first.
* FinishingMove: A Kimura lock, the same move he made famous against Angle.
* PoorCommunicationKills: The whole wrestling segment with Angle has been called a complete screwup by all involved, starting from the moment in which nobody in charge bothered to leave it clear the rules of the bout. It was officially hosted under amateur wrestling rules, yet Angle used illegal necklocks (and even afterwards, referee Jim Korderas did a pro wrestling 3-count instead of a proper amateur pin).
