10 Things You Didn't Know About Perry Saturn

10. He Hated Working With Lita And Matt Hardy

You're not always going to like everyone you work with. That is pretty much a fact of life and if you are blessed to have a working environment where everybody gets on with everybody else and there are never conflicts, then you are very much in the minority (and also likely extremely bored).

In the crazy, ego-driven world of professional wrestling, there are always going to be personality clashes. For Perry Saturn, a performer who by all accounts was well-liked if not a little bit of a hothead at times, there were two performers during his time in WWE that he absolutely loathed working with: Lita and Matt Hardy.

Hardy and Lita, who were a real-life couple at the time, raised the ire of Saturn because they would constantly try to call the matches when The Radicalz were feuding with Team Extreme. Saturn felt it incredibly disrespectful that Matt would try and plan the matches out move-for-move the night beforehand with road agent Michael Hayes, without considering Saturn, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero or Dean Malenko's opinion on the matter.

To Perry, Dean should have been the one laying out the bulk of the match, since he was the most experienced (his current role as an agent/producer certainly backs that assertion up). With regards to Lita, apparently the flame-haired diva tried to tell Malenko exactly what they would do in their singles and inter-gender matches, a big no-no considering the gulf in experience between the two.

While this might have been a case of the young, up-and-coming Matt and Lita being eager to impress their superiors while making the match as good as it can be, it's understandable why Saturn and other veterans of the locker room would see it as being disrespectful.

Saturn has also mentioned in previous interviews how Jeff was the complete opposite to his stablemates, as he was easy to work with and didn't go out of his way to 'get his sh*t in'.
