Saturn chats WWE and a book he’s halfway done writing.

For two years of his wrestling career, Perry Saturn was with WWE. He arrived to the company as a member of The Radicalz alongside Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit. Throughout his run, Saturn captured the European and Hardcore Championships. 

Several years ago, there was a concussion lawsuit that attorney Konstantine Kyros led against WWE. Saturn was among the wrestlers that was being represented by Kyros but the suit was dismissed

Saturn expressed during a Signed By Superstars virtual signing that he thinks he will not be getting a call from WWE because he was a part of that suit. He shared that when asked if he’d welcome a Hall of Fame induction. Saturn said he got along great with Vince McMahon and he thinks highly of Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque. Both Levesque and Saturn trained under Killer Kowalski and the two were once Tag Team Champions.

Sure, if they invited me (I would go into WWE Hall of Fame)… No (I don’t have a great relationship with WWE). I was part of a lawsuit against them. We lost but — from the C.T.E so, I’m sure they won’t be calling me. Vince (McMahon), I got along great with Vince and trouble is when I worked there, I was a bad drug addict. 

I was bad on drugs so I was — but Paul’s (Triple H) a great guy. I have nothing negative to say about him for sure. He’s awesome and he would help me out anyway he could but at the time, I was un-helpable. 

Saturn has visited the WWE Performance Center and his 2013 visit was documented. He remembers trying to teach talents how to do The Eliminators’ ‘Total Elimination’ finisher but no one was able to pick it up. 

Why (has) nobody done that (Total Elimination finish)?… No team’s done that. I used to go down to the Performance Center, WWE Performance Center and I tried to teach (the talent) how to do it and they just couldn’t get it right.

Elsewhere during the signing, Saturn shared that he has a book halfway written but there’s no one that wants to publish it. 

Yeah, I got one halfway done but nobody wants to publish it (Saturn responded when asked if he would ever write a book).

The 57-year-old Saturn stepped away from in-ring competition in 2013. Saturn has résumé that includes WCW, ECW, New Japan Pro-Wrestling and TNA.
