The thing about that was, it wasn’t even supposed to be a 3 count. They scripted it for amateur rules but the refs didn’t know
No they did know, Jimmy Korderas knew that Kimura lock was a shoot MMA move and if it had went longer, Angle’s arm would’ve been broken. That why Puder was pinned even though his shoulder weren’t completely down and why Angle was extremely pissed at Puder. Al Snow basically explained why all these shoot segments were bad ideas, but nobody listened of course lol
