If you've ever wondered why Perry Saturn spent part of his WWE career romancing a mop, here's your answer.

The former Radical shot on jobber Mike Bell when they met on an otherwise uneventful episode of Jakked. The opening stages were fine, but Bell soon dumped the former European Champion on his head with a couple of botched arm drags. That's when Saturn lost it. He awkwardly shoved Bell out of the ring, leading to Mike taking a gruesome head-first bump to the outside, but that wasn't the end of it. Perry, overcome by the red mist, gored his opponent into the steps, then continued battering him around the ring, before eventually - mercifully - putting him away.

Neither man was significantly hurt, but that didn't make the sight of the menacing Saturn bludgeoning a hapless local enhancement guy any sweeter, and management were incensed. Perry was saddled with the awful 'Moppy' gimmick immediately after. This effectively killed his credibility, and he was eventually let go from the company upon suffering an injury not long after concluding his feud with Raven and ex-girlfriend Terri Runnels.
