10 Wrestlers Who Ruined Their Own Legacy
9. Perry Saturn
Many forget that during the late 90s Perry Saturn was a valuable commodity.
Starting off as an important part of ECW's early tag division, Saturn moved on to WCW and became a member of the severely underrated stable Raven’s Flock. When the faction dissolved, he was the lead babyface of the story. In 2000, Saturn and some of his WCW friends jumped over to the WWF as part of The Radicalz in one of the most talked about moments of the Monday Night War.
A match taped for WWF Jakked was where it all started to go wrong. After being dropped on his head following a botched arm drag by jobber Mike Bell, Saturn flipped and legitimately started throwing punches at his opponent. The match became a fight and Mike Bell was also dropped on his head during the ensuing scuffle.
It's generally believed that Saturn’s next gimmick change was punishment for these actions and the star found himself playing a brain-damaged wrestler who fell in love with a mop. Saturn’s hard work and commitment got the gimmick over and so, as WWE do with those who organically get over, they killed off Moppy and ended the character sooner than perhaps they should’ve.
With nothing left for him creatively, WWE booted Saturn in November 2002. If Saturn had kept his cool with Mike Bell, one has to wonder what could've been.
