12 Wrestlers Who Mysteriously VANISHED

At one point, Perry Saturn was a rising star in ECW, WCW, and WWE—known for his intense in-ring style and memorable run with Moppy (yes, that Moppy). But after his WWE departure in 2002, Saturn seemingly vanished from the wrestling world without a trace. Fans were left wondering: where did he go?

The truth was far darker than anyone imagined. Saturn had been shot in the neck while intervening in a violent assault on a woman. The injury led to a downward spiral of addiction and homelessness. For two years, he lived on the streets, and many feared the worst.

Then, just as suddenly as he disappeared, Saturn resurfaced in 2010—alive, sober, and ready to share his story. His return was met with shock and admiration. He’d survived the kind of real-life battle few could imagine, let alone overcome.

Perry Saturn didn’t just vanish—he fought his way back from the brink. And in doing so, he became one of wrestling’s most quietly inspiring comeback stories.
