WWE/MMA connections

[Tom Yum]

1. I've heard that Bill Goldberg, former football player and now WWE wrestler has been practicing muay thai for some time now. He actually owns a muay thai gym.

2. Daniel Puder (amateur MMA) wrestled Kurt Angle in a challenge match a few years ago. Angle himself was a skilled free style wrestler before entering the WWE. Anyhow, during a challenge match where some unknowns can sign a waiver and get a chance to wrestle, Puder eventually got a side mount on Angle, pulled a chicken-wing and put Angle in a lil pain.

Angle was the superior wrestler though and managed to roll Puder for a pin (even though Puder still had the chicken-wing).

That is all.

Tom, That match was televised and Puder actually hit the Kimura from the bottom and damn near ripped Angle's arm off.

He "won" the right to the match after being the only guy on the "Tough Enough" reality TV show to finish Angle's insane conditioning task. The shoot was unscripted and Puder reportedly got his A$$ handed to him afterwards by several of the veterans for "disrespecting" someone with Angle's seniority.

What ever happened to brock lesner wouldn't you love to see him in the ufc or pride?

[DJColdfusion]

Brock tried to play professional football and failed miserably. He is supposedly working on a Deal with K1's MMA organization (Heros) but nothing has "apparently" been signed. The UFC and the WFA have all apparently made bids in an attempt to sign him.

Sorry about being the know it all today (it doesn't happen often) . . .
