Daniel Puder, who is presently signed to an Mixed Martial Arts contract with the San Jose, California based Strikeforce promotion, will soon start appearing for the Ring of Honor professional wrestling promotion, starting with their December 29 and 30th shows in New York City. According to Wrestling News Desk.com, Puder, the only $1,000,000 Tough Enough Champion in World Wrestling Entertainment history, had a brief but colorful career in the world of pro wrestling. www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272617408___________________________ ... I don't know how to feel about this. |

I think people are making too big a deal of this. We don't even know what he's doing with the company, or if this will just be a one-shot non-match deal.

I read this on the ROH forums earlier this week and they were in an uproar about it. If the guy does well, give him a chance, if he sucks, then give him the boot.
They managed to make one-half of the Dicks watchable, so anything's possible.

As long as I don't hear the word's "Kurt Angle" come out of his mouth once, I'm fine with him.

The perfect spot for him would be with S&SI. That would firmly plant Hero and S&SI as the biggest heels in the company....

Sweeney could hype it up HUGE before Puder ever even appeared, talking Puder up like he's god's gift to wrestling, then when Puder comes in, the heat would be massive. |

Haha, I'm also a fan of putting him with Sweet and Sour. Plus, from what I heard of his OVW stuff, Puder isn't actually that bad.

Hey, it worked with that Dead Grandma nobody. |

Wasn't there a rumor that Tank Toland was going back to OVW as a trainer? In which case, Puder might even be Toland's replacement in SnS.

See he's a heyman creation from OVW who was trained by Lance Storm and Al Snow, he also has legit fight background.
If ROH is stereotypical smarky fans, they should welcome him with open arms.
It's not like these guys actually have watched his matches, for all we know he could be as awesome as other MMA influenced wrestlers like Ken Shamrock, or as crappy as Jerry Flynn

I think he could do fine in ROH. I saw him in OVW and Heyman had a great angle for him.
Team Puder was a fun little stable.
