This may be one of the funniest things I've ever read.

Just appallingly dunderheaded.

Could someone explain me what happened in the youtube video? Daniel Puder vs. Angle?

Basically, Angle was there to humiliate Puder and the other contestants. The contestants were all exhausted from being told to run circuits and whatever and then brought into the ring with Angle.

Angle then basically challenged them to 'fight' him. Of course, Angle felt this meant under amateur wrestling rules (despite the fact he injured the contestant before Puder using a technique illegal in freestyle wrestling). Anyway, this was never made clear to the contestants so when Angle took Puder down, he got trapped in a Kimura.

Somebody alerted the referee (via his earpiece) that he should count Puder's shoulders down for a pin, meaning Angle 'won'. Angle was furious with Puder (mainly because Angle is a prick). If it hadn't been for Puder being smart enough not to tear Angle apart because it would have killed any chances of a pro wrestling career, then Angle would have walked away from this fiasco with a broken arm.

I don't think it's even appropriate to call Angle a "fraud" at this point. I can't come up with a good word with my limited vocabulary in the language, but something far worse would work.

Thanks! Somehow i'm interested when something is going wrong in Pro-Wrestling and so^^

Sounds utterly stupid to invite a MMA-Fighter to "fight" with Angle and not saying him that he's not allowed to use any submissions lol.
