10 Inanimate Objects In Wrestling That Somehow Got Over

The jump from WCW to WWE went smoother for some members of The Radicalz than it did for others. While Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit would quickly embroil themselves in championship feuds and go on to have very fruitful careers with the company, Dean Malenko would have a much shorter and lower-key stint.

And then there's Perry Saturn, whose biggest achievement in WWE was believably portraying an onscreen romance with a mop.

Saturn's infatuation with this particular piece of janitorial equipment came about in-storyline because he'd suffered severe head trauma from a few too many rough matches. Thus, he was literally bludgeoned into loving a mop. But in the real world, it started after Saturn legitimately freaked out and attacked jobber Mike Bell during a match.

Either way, fans became immediately smitten with Moppy. Saturn maintains he received some of his loudest pops during that storyline, and that chants of "Moppy!" were, at times, louder than the chants of "Rocky!"

Whether that's hyperbole or not, the fact of the matter is Saturn began the ridiculous angle as a heel - and was slated to remain that way - but the fans' unabashed love for Moppy turned him into a good guy. It was like something from a very creepy and misguided Pixar movie.
