10 Weirdest Wrestling Characters (That Didn’t Work)
5. Perry Saturn, Mop Lover
A genuinely good wrestler, Perry Saturn was never properly utilized by the WWF. So, what do you do with a solid, experienced, tough guy wrestler? You make him fall in love with a mop, thats what. For some reason, WWF creative came to believe that Perry Saturn would be a bigger draw if he fell in love with an inanimate object. By the time Raven ruthlessly chucked Moppy into the chipper, WWE fans the world over breathed a collective sigh of relief, although none was more relieved to see the end of Moppy than Saturn himself. In a recent shoot interview, Saturn claimed that he was once thrown out of a hotel for having a dildo strapped to his head whilst barrelling towards a naked woman on a water slide. Now THATS an inanimate object gimmick with potential!
I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction.
I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long!
If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it).
I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
