Disgruntled by life in WCW, Perry Saturn made the decision to talk terms with the WWF in early-2000. Alongside good friends Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero, Saturn moved to the company that January, debuting as part of The Radicalz alongside his pals. He was only featured at the top of cards for a month or so.

After the buzz began to fade, Perry was demoted to the undercard pack. It was a competitive scene, and Saturn just added another face to get lost in the midcard shuffle. For much of the year, he spent his time interjecting in feuds involving others like Malenko and Guerrero.

Later, Saturn developed a weird character. Falling in love with a household mop, he ditched Terri Runnels as his onscreen girlfriend and turned into a bizarre, lower-level babyface. An injury then kept him out until November, 2002, when Perry had his contract terminated.

In WCW, he may have been a bit part player for the most part, but at least he didn't have to deal with the whole 'Moppy' debacle.
