It's too bad that Puder couldn't contain his ego and "play ball" so to speak. Had Puder played ball and paid his dues, I think he could have won the World/WWE title post 2006...........a time period in which the WWE was very stale and was dying for new and emerging talent.

He tried to break Kurt's arm and make a name for himself, If WWE would have went with the Angle/Puder fued he would have had a good chance at a decent career but I don't think Kurt would have done it.
