Kurt Angle Reveals TRUTH About Daniel Puder Incident! 

Kurt is a little Hulkamaniac isn't he?😂😂😂 So it was a shoot and was warned about the kid. And when it didn't go well for Kurt he "didn't have feeling in his arms" yeah Vince would've let him do shoots risking to have him paralyzed on live tv. Kurt is a little Hulkster😂😂😂😂😂

​@@andisugeyou didn't pay attention did you kid?😂🤦🏻

Angle shouldn't accept a shoot in that condition but I guess you don't reach his level being a "normal" sane parson but I'm glad that he didn't do nothing against that Puder guy, he got canned on his own.

No one is stating the obvious: the relationship between student and teacher is sacred. The WWE didn't take that relationship seriously and because of it this situation happened. You don't try to humiliate the talent you're fostering for ratings. If you don't treat them like students why would you expect them to treat you as teachers?

Angle seems like the real *sshole. He's full of himself...he tried to bully Puder...he got his ass kicked...and now he's making-up every excuse he can think of.

700$ a week is insane though unless they’re paying for all your expenses (which I don’t think they do at all) you can’t live on that without support from other people

@@wv4776 this was to stay in Florida in Developmental (pre-NXT). So he didn't have to do any travelling. They probably would have offered him a new one once he was back on the main roster and traveling again.

700 a week isn’t terrible back in 2004 that’s 2800 a month to train no travelling. That’s not celebrity money by any means but that’s a decent working man’s cheque back then for just training, considering you should really be paying to go to wrestling school to train

​@wv4776 700 a week is what I'm on basically so that not bad considering the potential he could of earned 😅

I don't blame him for turning that down. DoorDash drivers earn more than that

That’s why they should have just stuck to professional wrestling matches instead of the “real” bullshit

Just like the braw for all...there were no winners

​@@mattm7798lol except Butterbean

Yeah, was a nice payday for him...poor Bart Gunn...Vince seemed determined not to push him.@@molokoplus0612

It’s got Vince Russo written all over it

Daniel also shouldn't have attempted to submit Kurt. He tried to cheat.

Angle seems like the real *sshole. He's full of himself...he tried to bully Puder...he got his ass kicked...and now he's making-up every excuse he can think of.

So Daniel shouldn't have attempted to win the competition? Lol, what most of you forget is WWE already did this with Brawl for All, it didn't end well, so why did they expect a bunch of guys they've been trolling and hazing to put them in an actual shoot match? Gee, I wonder why it went wrong. What ruined Daniel Puder's career is that he won the contest. It's better to be runner up or anything else but the winner of Tough Enough.

@@abikegavin9641 Exactly. Angle got in his face, screamed at him talking shit & challenging him, tried to kick his ass....and Puder is supposed to just act like Angle's little bitch?? Angle needed humbling, and he got it.

@@jaymike3302 Wrong. Puder cheated. He tried to submit Kurt.

It was like they’d learned nothing from the Brawl for All debacle.

Play stupid 🎮 games and you win Stupid 🏆 prizes. 🙄

It wasn't really a shoot match. It was a little amateur wrestling match.

yeah almost like wrestler going up against someone who can fight for real is a bad idea

@@snakekingblues3017 yeah, akin to Tyson🥊Fury recently getting his Boxers stained fighting 👊Ngannou 😂

yea he said something like who else wants some, and pruder said me, which wasnt planned

Pussy move by puder to try to break someone's arm when ur losing in a wrestling match with pins. Shows what kind of fragile ego he had because he did some mma

Just admit he got his ass kicked

Right. Its like getting a surprise kick to the shin in a boxing match. Some people are so ignorant.

It wasn't pin only fan boy, only got the losers word for it, if you watch the video he just goes who wants to get in the ring with me, nothing about pin only

"Like Kurt said, it was a pin only match." And this was said on-camera about 0 times.

He done the right thing lol. The same thing WWE praise Cena for with the Ruthless Aggression thing is the same attitude Daniel had. Not saying his attitude away was okay, but back then, everyone had an ego. You have to give props to a man making sure he stands out in an era full of standouts.

@@looplstunfortunately he was an outsider and came in with the tough enough thing and the old school guys didn’t like it “because that’s not fair! “😭. The guy was green and maybe did have a chip on his shoulder, but they treated him worse because he didn’t come up in the ranks like they did. It’s petty childish behavior, but that seems to be the story for a lot of these things in wrestling.

@@watchreport basically. It's nice to see that changing, but for as much as everyone misses the "tough guys", they really were the most sensitive bunch

I would say that getting dropped on his neck after trying to block a power bomb from Brock Lesnar was another one of his highlights.

Sparky Plugg always had an inflated ego and thought he was more than he actually was lol. He actually had the gall to lie and say in 1995 that he had "words" with Diesel/Kevin Nash and got him to back off. Ok...🤣🤣

​​​​@@andrewvincent7299Even if it happened, which is may never have... Kevin Nash isn't the type of person to admit fault about anything. Kevin Nash literally thinks to this day the "Click" didn't effect anyone carear, so his opinion is probably even less trusted than Holly. If Holly stuck up to Nash, or not it's almost not even important as Nash, always has an excuse to make himself look good in any and all situations. If you didn't use logic and believed everything Nash says, your just falling for propaganda.

It was Chris Benoit, not Chris Jericho, who chopped Daniel Puder at the Rumble

The point is that submissions weren't aloud in that match so it hurt Kurt's credibility with people who don't properly understand real wrestling

​@@FrostedCornFlakes280puder is a bitch for that.hes losing a match and he did tries to break an armt.its all his fault for failing in wwe he deserved it

0:15 did you miss this part where he said he was so weak from his second neck surgery? 1:18 he then said it's supposed to be by pinfall. Daniel Puder was going for an armbar in a wrestling match. It's like Dillion Danis going for kicks and takedowns in a boxing match against Logan Paul. Had Kurt been going for submissions and wasn't hurt, would have been a whole different ball game. Watch Brock Lesnar talk about wrestling Kurt Angle for real.

⁠@@CosmicValentineKurt knows next to nothing in submissions. Amateur wrestling - folk style, freestyle, or G-R he’d have his way with anyone.

@@CosmicValentine That sounded like him making excuses. He also Wrestled Brock Lesnar for real backstage around this time and won. So he wasn’t as weak as he’s claiming. Meh he knew the guy was an MMA fighter. In fact the plan was to make these guys so tired so they can put them in submissions and embarrass them. Nunzio was supposed to be the guy to do it. Because he was actually trained in catch wrestling submissions. But they went with Kurt instead.

Of course he is. You wouldn't be?

Whatever gave you that idea? Was it when he called him a stupid son of a b*tch about 10 seconds in 😂

Shhhhh...

Kinda like the Jan 6th video that we are not supposed to see just what they want us to see😊😊😊

​@@Boxedbyymeyou mean the one where the cops are waving and inviting all the protestors into the capital building?

@@Boxedbyyme brother, keep politics out of entertainment. uncool.

@@gercey3314 But he's not wrong.

At that year, the Main Event was the royal rumble so Kurts comment doesnt even make sense

​@@popovicaleksandar98the point though is that D-BAG Puder was acting like he was a bigger deal than he actually was

Saying "I'm in the main event" makes it sound a lot like you're in a signature feud/title match or at the least a headlining feature of the rumble.

@@popovicaleksandar98yeah. It’s that he was bragging to everyone else. That’s why the put him in his place.

2005

^ this is all I got from this. Kurt repeatedly calling him *sshole and stuff was very telling.

how do you know it was only $700 a week?

Both puder and angle have confirmed the same figure in separate interviews

@@sirhugo316 what are the names of the videos where they confirm the $700 a week?

It would be almost 7X's that amount.

What the hell is wrong with Vince lol

Yup KA is lying. He also was not still recovering from the nexk surgery in April, he had a 13 minute match with Mysterio the week before.

@@MaxwellGriffin001that doesn’t mean he didn’t have neck surgery.

@@Jhoncena22 weird to say you're still recovering and can't do push ups when the week before you went 11 minutes lifting rey Mysterio.

​@@MaxwellGriffin001Yeah, lifting "Rey Mysterio".

@@Jm29q Rey Mysterio was heavy af in those years.

I wouldn't trust Puder he's still store about the whole thing

Puder also went in for a submission, which he shouldn't have done.

No one trust puder either

I don't care for either of them but Kurt was saved from a pretty bad injury that he deserved for being a bully. "Punking" guys that are trying to get a job is cowardice and Kurt was lucky the ref stepped in and saw that Kurt was in real trouble. I'm glad he still feels embarrassed to this day about it.

@@Jrocc811 He was supposed to punk them. That was part of the show... What wasn't part of the show was Puder cheating and getting Kurt in a submission.

…Well played 😂

That was so lame. Benoit, Guerrero & Holly looked really stupid there

Yeah, well Benoit went psycho and deleted himself and his family, Eddie OD'd, and Bob Holly is now only known for getting his neck broken by Brock Lesnar. Basically a trio of dirt bags tried to punish a kid for standing up for himself.

​@@RCCarDude"Standing up for himself" Puder attempted to submit Kurt when he shouldn't have. That was an illegal move. Puder's the dirtbag. He deserved what he got in the Rumble.

@@mza4739 Booooo!

@@RCCarDude Eddie's lie cheat steal thing was a character for the WWE, not an actual dirtbag lmao

It was a shoot. The ref counted on the fly to save Angle's fragile ego and arm.

He wasn't supposed to put him in a kimura. It wasnt in the rules. He was being a stupid f***.

No he definitely would have. He wanted attention and wanted to stand out and steal the show. Don’t have patience

Puder has said in an interview that he was willing to go as far as needed to win against Angle, because years before, Angle was picked for the Olympics over Puder's trainer or something like that, so he wanted to see what Angle was made of.

Dude even AL snow commented on it everything angle said is true.

Kimura is a type of armbar in terms of BJJ

Everyone who knows Vince says that

@@bane3991 No 80 year old sleeps 2 hours a day. I'm guessing wrestling is still real to you?! 😂

@DSN262 So let me try to understand what you're saying. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have a few questions and I just want to verify what you're saying. You're saying you don't believe he sleeps a few hours a night because that's not what the average person does? Are you saying we are all the exact same genetically? If you and I sleep let's say, 3hrs. Are you saying we will have the exact same symptoms as each other? Is this what you're trying to say? I don't want to put words into your mouth. But it sounds like you're saying we are all exactly the same. Do you think Kurt could be exaggerating a bit? Maybe it's 3-4hrs? Also, since everyone who knows Vince says the exact same thing of him running on very little sleep, do you think they all got together to make up a lie about Vince McMahons sleep schedule? If so, what incentive would they have to do that?

@@bane3991 He said Vinnie Mac only sleeps 2 hours a night, with the emphasis 'two' he didn't say a few hours per night he said '2' I'm calling bs on that, he more than likely sleeps 4 to 5 hours as we know old people can only last so long throughout the day until their age catches up with them. And as far as wrestlers agreeing with this statement, they'll say anything to kiss Vinnie Macs ass, as they are always looking to work for him if they aren't already, he's their chance of a big payday!

@DSN262 You didn't address what I said about everyone having the same genetics. Do you think there's a certain percentage of the population, even if small, that can function on little sleep? Do you think Vinces elite level diet and workout routine might help him push past it? Or what about the steroids he takes because that gives you a ton of energy. I think you're stereotyping people and not taking any other details into consideration. 2hrs per night isn't normal, it's far from it. But Vince is also far from the average person. He has a better diet than 99 percent of people. He has a strict workout routine that 99 percent of people do not have. He is on drugs that 99 percent of people aren't on. He could just have those genetics that makes it so he doesn't have to sleep much. I can't function under 5hrs. My body shuts down. I'm dead. But I know people who do perfectly fine on that. For me, I experience severe exhaustion, memory loss, diaherrea, etc. I won't even be aware of the date. It could be a Friday and I think it's a Monday. We can be in November and I think it's october. I feel the best on 8hrs. I can still function perfectly well on 7hrs. 6.5 is a little off but still good. 6hrs I'm off but nothing severe. 5.5hrs I'm very tired and my memory starts to go. On 5hrs I have pretty bad memory loss and diaherrea. 4.5hrs I feel my whole body about to die. This is me. Other people I talk too doesn't experience this. I am the more extreme example in the other direction. My point of telling you this is, we are all different. We are built differently. I knew a girl from school who had issues and she only got like 2-3hrs of sleep per night. She was perfectly fine. When you have 7 billion people on Earth, you'll find extreme examples. There are people who are allergic to the sunlight and water. You talk about wrestlers kissing his ass. How is saying Vince only sleeps a few hours a night kissing someone's ass? Is that suppose to be an achievement? I don't see this being true. And then they'll have stories of him working out at 3AM and answering phone calls and then going to meetings at 7AM. I very much doubt that everyone is making this stuff up.

Might be because it was a shoot?

What was dumb was the way Angle went out there and some of the decisions he made.

Nah give Kurt a break, he’s a great guy.. I believe him.

​@@alexsabre1323fk that he didn't even put over the ref who saved his career

@@alexsabre1323lol. You don't know either of them. Don't act like you do.

@@lestercross5123 well he also didn’t mention that he was on 65 vicodin a day.. yeah 🤣 that was perc angle wrestling with a young ufc fighter.

@@alexsabre1323 🤨you lost me, but that's interesting anyway

Ha. Or a 2023 Lesnar for that matter! Nobody's that stupid surely

It would have worked in 2003

Puder would have died 😂😂😂😂

Rip to him. Lol

@@adamirishconundrum851 Cleary you don't know how fast he moved back then

Don't ask for a fight then act shocked when you get one, that is my advice for kurt. He literally had beat the shit out of another guy right before the incident. the entire segment was them trying to humiliate and emasculate the tough enough guys. "THIS IS REAL BRO" was the message he was trying to send, well daniel made it real for kurt, and kurt shit his pants.

@@biggumstevens1784 he was asked by Vince to do this and Al Snow tried to prevent it because he probably knew something like this was a possibility, the main problem was the rules were just not explained well, at least in terms of amateur style to WWE style they did a three count instead of a one count, so Puder had a case for the rules being unclear he's just kind of overly arrogant about it, Kurt supposedly hurt the first guy unintentionally and he wasn't prepared to sell that takedown he did to him I put this fully on Vince who didn't think this one through and put Kurt and these contestants in a bad situation

freestyle wrestling is pinfalls only

A guy who loved his family.

Because he's kurt angle and he can beat any body in wrestling mat

Ego

Tell me you're clueless about the pro wrestling industry without telling me you're clueless about the pro wrestling industry. (the secret is they're all hurt all the time - it's a tough business)

@@danjonmills its showbuwsiness u have a gold metalist beating anyone at wrestling it's entertaining

Cause hes lying.

Seriously. Here he is still giving the jackass credit, only putting down his personality and the KBW's are over here calling Kurt 'out' for it. Like, no dude, if quite a few of the guys there were on Puder's @$$, it was for a damn good reason. Especially when one hears Bob Holly was involved. Holly didn't take any crap from anyone and was literally as hardcore about the business as it gets, if you pissed him off you better get your crap together.

You didn't watch the video. Kurt made himself out to be a completely broken man instead of just saying he got got. He's undermining Puder and building sympathy for himself.

People often don't let facts get in the way of their own opinions

​@@frankstallone3864but it was a wrestling match not mma

Theirs a difference were taught in jiujitsu . Theirs tap out pressure and instantly mame pressure. Ones for training or making someone quit give up . The other is for someone seriousy trying to hurt or harm u . Which means soon as u get something u instantly break it . Jiujitsu is a battlefield art . Pro wrestling and amature wrestling is sport entertainment . Learn the difference. If prudder wanted to he wouldve broke Kurts arm instantly . Prudder slapped on rolling/training pressure. The same pressure we use in tourneys or training. Reality their is 3 types of pressure . Tap pressure , hyper extend pressure , break/compound fracture pressure

You can have raw skills and still suck.

​@@thedogwoods5716I disagree. Vince pushes and the crowd eventually bites. It took them years to get Roman on top. Vince said cram it down their throats until it works. They tried so many different times to push him and it failed. The Rock had to step in, create the entrance music, create the acknowledge me line, and help change his personna. Roman STILL has horrible mic skills and in ring skills, yet he his popular and the champ. They had to make Paul his mouth piece and put his family in to cover for his garbage in ring performance. You can literally put anyone in that spot and they will eventually succeed.

This issue is that Kurt was really never healthy lol.

The ref in the match said Kurt went off script. He wasn't supposed to do that. He was supposed to beat the Tough Engouh contestant and that was it. Instead Kurt asked the other contestants if they wanted to try and that's when Daniel volunteered (but no one said Daniel said he couldn't or could do that).

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Then u woke up . MMA fighters destroy Kurt he knows it as well as u do

@@ThaSilentOne420 Yeah. There's a reason why Brock went into MMA and Angle didn't.

To be fair, he wasn't producing a million dollar result because of his ego or his skills. He could have improved over time if he stayed and had a decent career. If done right, he could have made even more money if he did well enough.

WWE made millions on that reality show with the promise of 1 million contract. @@lylaznboi01

Also people forget that it was not a pin fall match, but a submission match. I have seen the video a bunch and Kurt even said it was to see who could tap him out.

@@sepheroth3373 100% kurt is lying. They did that on the fly.

He literally said all of this. Did you just pause the start of the video and head straight for the comments?

​@@CHI-JORDAN-CHIHe said he Puder down and put him on his back to pin him. That's a complete lie. I'm sorry you're gullible and your brain doesn't function properly.

Nice novel, anyway . He is full of shit when it comes to this he changes the story on every podcast he appears on.

Kurt challenged Puder to a shoot. Kurt got what he asked for, not what he wanted. It was a wrestling match or BJJ, it was just an agreed upon fight of whatever you got.

Kurt didn't lay out the rules ahead of time. You're right that Kurt was in danger from joint locks, but if so he should have said, "No submissions, please, I can't handle them."

@@Myndir On that, we agree.

he had a chance and was a disobedient cocky little shit
