Daniel Puder and Kurt Angle
Back in 2004-05, Daniel Puder had won the Tough Enough competition by defeating The Miz in the finals. On an episode of SmackDown, Puder put WWE legend Kurt Angle in a Kimura Lock for real, and this didn't sit well with the company. Angle looked genuinely angry at Puder following the incident. Following his Tough Enough victory, Puder made an appearance in the 2005 Royal Rumble match.
Immediately, Puder was targeted by Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. The duo hit Puder as hard as they could with a series of chops on his chest. Soon after, Hardcore Holly joined Guerrero and Benoit, and the trio laid a brutal beatdown on Puder in the middle of the ring, before throwing him out. Following the match, Puder never appeared on SmackDown for another bout and was later released by the company. The Miz, on the other hand, became a mainstay on the WWE roster and went on to headline WrestleMania with John Cena.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
