Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Forgettable Superstars of the Decade

May 2, 2013

Number 7: Daniel Puder

October 2004-January 2005

Daniel Puder

Surrounded by controversy, Daniel Puder entered the Tough Enough competition on Smackdown in 2004. He would go on to win the competition amidst controversy about his mentality. He would accept a challenge from Kurt Angle and go kayfabe. He locked in an armlock and almost made Angle tap out. Jimmy Korderas, doing his job, made a quick 3 count as Puder’s shoulders were on the mat. It broke the story and broke what was supposed to happen. Puder ended up winning the Tough Enough contest, but would decline an offer from WWE in the beginning of 2005. What was the point of him doing the contest anyways? It was filled with speculation, hear-say, and extreme immaturity on his behalf. Good riddance, fool.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
