they're usually smart about these things but i don't think vince was watching smackdown at the timeImagine how big a star Puder would've been had this happened in the UFC or any other smart company

LOL.. This is funny. I kicked his ass and I got him. Watch this weekend in South Florida..
Such a random gimmick account.
Vince was in the back that day. & thxthey're usually smart about these things but i don't think vince was watching smackdown at the time
Yep.. your right on.Until this situation, we had NEVER heard of anyone kind of getting one up on Kurt Angle. He had a backstage thing with Eddie....he's wrestled Lesnar in a shoot deal backstage and Shelton said he took Lesnar down. And there was some deal where Kurt Angle physically forced Mark Henry to take his hands off of him during a grab(not a fight but just to show Henry he could do it). So this was some wild $hit when it went down
Yep.. your right on.

Here's what I've pieced together.
Angle was hurt, but was basically shooting. Assuming he'd mow through the guys (hence that one guy's broken rib)
WWE didn't know/didn't care about MMA, underestimate's Puder, get's caught in submission.
In shoots, Angle has claimed that he verbally chastised Puder for pinning himself and losing, not for applying the hold, like most people thought. In reality though, I'm willing to bet all of my money that he was caught off guard and his ego took a hit.
Typically WWE, SO ingrained in the "everything's a work, brother" mentality, that they think they can control these shoot style situations. Also probably had Angle and others blowing smoke up their ass, thinking he could take anyone. Same thing with the Brawl for all.
Hell, Jericho's book mentions Frank Shamrock and a bunch of UFC guys walking around. Vince got surly with their presence and said "well, we've got Malenko, Brisco etc... with us". Thinking his crew could step to Frank's if shyt went down.
He's insanely out of touch with the real world when it comes to fighting.
Its kurt and vinces fault
U market the guy as a former ufc fighter and tell him to go shoot with a guy who jusy broke the ribs of the guy ahead of you
Nothingbwring with folding angle like a pretzel
Id juat have let go as soon as the count startered and got to my feet
