10 Wrestlers Who Go Back Further Than You Think
4. Perry Saturn
Years before Petty Saturn battered Mike Bell in a weekend squash that became memorable for all the wrong reasons, "Peter Motts" was a victim of Tatanka's undefeated streak in a Superstars match of less renown.
It wasn't the easiest of stints for the future Eliminator, Radical and mop aficionado. After losing to Tatanka in June 1992, Saturn took a beating from the Legion Of Doom at the next set of tapings. It'd not be until ECW's invasion of Raw in 1997 that he'd next appear on WWE television.
There's a lot to like about these defeats, not least in knowing how hard-as-f*ck Saturn was when he wasn't being asked to lay down for one of the more cartoonish early-1990s gimmicks. He's the sort of character that looks like he was born the way he was the first time you saw him, yet this reveals a journey not unlike every other wrestler that eventually made it alongside him at the commercial peak of the industry several years later.
