5 Forgotten Debuts Of WCW Superstars
2. Perry Saturn - WCW Saturday Night (April 5th, 1995)
While Perry Saturn is well-known for his WCW run with Raven’s Flock and, later on, The Revolution, from 1997 to 2000, he made his initial WCW debut back in 1995.
After a successful run in Memphis with the USWA, Saturn would appear on WCW Saturday Night, tagging with John Kronus as The Eliminators prior to their run in ECW as the all conquering ECW Tag Team Champs.
In the pre-Nitro era, WCW Saturday Night was arguably their main weekly show and the appearance of The Eliminators on the card was a big deal. Sadly for Saturn and Kronus, their match would be cut from the final edit of the show and Saturn would have to wait another two years before making his WCW TV debut in September ‘97.
Following their flirtation with WCW at the Saturday Night tapings, The Eliminators would go on to appear for the WWF four months later on an untelevised house show. From there, The Eliminators would make their ECW debut in September of ‘95 at the Gangstas Paradise event by tagging with manager, Jason Knight, to defeat the formidable team of Taz and the Steiner Brothers.
