WWE: 10 Great Wrestlers Held Back By Terrible Gimmicks

4. Perry Saturn

Whilst Dean Malenko€™s ladies man gimmick did not suit The Ice Man€™s cold, no-nonsense, tough guy character; he can at least be grateful that the writing team chose a different member of The Radicalz to become infatuated with a mop. Yep, the company decided the correct direction to push Perry Saturn was towards a cleaning product. The gimmick went as follows: Saturn received a concussion in a match that led to him losing a brain cell or two. He then started to make senseless, random statements such as "Did you know monkeys learn sign language to tell dolphins they love them?€, before eventually going on to fall in love with a mop. The storyline started to get really intense, when Saturn was asked to choose between onscreen girlfriend, Terri Runnels and €˜Moppy€™. He chose the mop and would have to go through the heartbreak of seeing his beloved mop being shredded by Raven. The scene produced more tears amongst viewers than the death of Bambi€™s mum.
