About Puder, he is no doubt a great athlete and fighter, but I think people are taking this whole Angle thing overboard.
You have to remember that Angle
-has a severly injured neck that would slow him down a LOT in a real wrestling match
-has not competed for almost 9 years
-is a lot older than Puder
-was not expecting Puder to have the skill he did at first, and likely just didn't want to hurt him, or wanted to take him down in a slower fashion so it would look better on TV
-still was able to pin him quickly even if it wasn't properly. Just the fact that Angle was able to quickly take down and put Puder on his back shows his dominance over him. In most wrestling matches, a pin does not occur for the entire 7 minutes.
Puder is definitly a gifted fighter, but to compare him to a guy like Angle is ridiculous.
