>On the November 4, 2004, episode of SmackDown!, during an unscripted segment of Tough Enough, Angle challenged the finalists to a squat thrust competition.[71] Chris Nawrocki won the competition, and the prize Nawrocki won was a match against Angle.[72] Angle quickly took Nawrocki down with a guillotine choke, but Nawrocki managed to make it to the ropes, forcing Angle to break the hold. Angle then took Nawrocki down with a double leg takedown, legitimately breaking his ribs.
>After Angle defeated Nawrocki, Angle challenged the other finalists.[72] Daniel Puder, an American professional mixed martial artist, accepted Angle's challenge.[72] Angle and Puder wrestled for position, with Angle taking Puder down, however, in the process, Puder locked Angle in a kimura lock.[71][72] With Puder on his back and Angle's arm locked in the kimura, Angle pushed Puder's shoulders down, pinning him and one of two referees in the ring, Jim Korderas, quickly counted three to end the bout,[71][72][73] despite the fact that Puder's shoulders were not fully down on the mat, bridging up at two.[71][72] Puder later claimed he would have snapped Angle's arm on national
>As you would expect, Kurt Angle was less than happy backstage at Smackdown after almost being forced to tap out to Tough Enough contestant Daniel Puder. Downright ticked off would probably be the best way to describe his mood. The unscripted nature of the contest was the main reason that Angle was made to look so bad since Puder just reacted to the situation and could have forced Angle to submit had the referees not thought quickly and counted a pin that wasn't there on Puder.
