Being a member of the WCW defectors, The Radicalz, Perry Saturn entered WWE with a huge upside. Bruce Prichard and Jim Ross have gone on record saying that Saturn was the office's original prediction for who would be the faction's biggest star.

After a successful debut year in the company, Saturn captured the European Championship and was featured prominently on WWE programming. After the split of The Radicalz in 2001, Saturn had a lacklustre singles run where he was enamoured with a mop. An injury took him out for most of 2002, and he was released by the end of the year.

Only wrestling on a few early TNA shows, Perry Saturn vanished sometime in the mid-2000s. At the funeral of his trainer and wrestling legend, Killer Kowalski, it was rumoured by those in attendance that Saturn was no longer alive. In reports at the time, Dave Meltzer was checking missing person lists regularly to no avail.

Resurfacing in 2010, Saturn revealed that he had been homeless, and after getting shot in the neck during an altercation in which he saved a woman from getting raped, Saturn became addicted to methamphetamine. After he became public again, Saturn announced he was over his drug addiction. In 2016, Saturn had joined a class-action lawsuit against WWE demanding compensation for his years of repetitive brain trauma.
