10 Things You Didn't Know About Perry Saturn

Perry 'Saturn' Satullo's life reads like a Lifetime movie.

He had a troubled youth, growing up poor and in the ghetto, before enlisting in the US Army at the age of seventeen. While there he learned discipline and after leaving the military he decided he wanted to give professional wrestling a try.

After learning the basics he began his career on the independent scene before finding employment with New Japan Pro Wrestling, ECW, WCW and WWE. Inside the ring, Saturn impressed critics with his blend of brawling, high-flying and submission-based wrestling. He earned his spots in the major companies by thrilling inside the ring.

Outside of it, however, Saturn was very much living like a rockstar on the road. His life was one of of partying and sex and drugs. As his habits worsened, so to did the nature of his performances. The good times and the fame and the money gave way to a shocking reality he just barely survived.

Since leaving the wrestling world in the early 2000s Saturn's life didn't slow down any. On the contrary, it actually got more and more hectic, to the point where he dropped off the map completely, friends and family members unable to locate his whereabouts.

How exactly did things get this way? What happened to Saturn during these 'lost' years? And was the 'Moppy' saga nothing but an elaborate rib?

Let's answer these questions with 10 things you (probably) didn't know about Perry Saturn.

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'.
