Perry Saturn has the madness within him.

A lost travelling soul, he spent several years off the grid enduring a spell as a vagrant addicted to meth. He was troubled. Those troubles shockingly manifested on WWE television in a disturbing shoot incident for which he was removed from screens in a bid to protect his fellow independent contractors.

Just kidding: he was punishment-booked as a mentally unwell comedy act with an objectophilia kink.

On the short-lived WWF Metal, Saturn worked enhancement talent Mike Bell in a short match designed to give him a win. The two men worked together with no issues early. Collar-and-elbow tie-up, hammerlock exchange, fireman's carry. Sh*t went awry when Bell bungled a hip toss and landed Saturn directly on his head. Saturn was apoplectic, understandably, and beat the living sh*t out of Bell in response.

An eye for an eye, a neck for a neck, as the old saying goes: Saturn unloaded in Bell's face and sent him tumbling to the outside. The angle at which Bell crumpled was grotesque. It was a miracle his neck wasn't broken.

Terri intervened to de-escalate the situation, after which the match went to the planned finish.
