On November 4, 2004, episode of "SmackDown!", taped in St. Louis, Missouri, during an unscripted segment of "Tough Enough", Kurt Angle, a former amateur wrestler and 1996 Olympic gold medalist, challenged the finalists through a squat thrust competition. Chris Nawrocki won the competition, and the prize Nawrocki won was a match against Angle. Angle quickly took Nawrocki down, legitimately breaking his ribs, then made him submit with a "neck crank". After Angle defeated Nawrocki, Angle challenged the other finalists to a legitimate (shoot) wrestling match. Daniel Puder, an American professional mixed martial artist, accepted Angle's challenge. Angle and Puder wrestled for position, with Angle taking Puder down, however, in the process, Puder locked Angle in a "kimura lock". With Puder on his back and Angle's arm locked in the "kimura", Angle attempted a pin, one of two referees in the ring, Korderas, thought quickly and counted three to end the match, despite the fact that Puder's shoulders weren't fully down on the mat, bridging up at two. Puder later claimed he would have snapped Angle's arm, thus making Angle submit on national television, if Korderas had not ended the match.
