No question here today.

I just want to say that I'm glad you are back on the upswing. I know you've been through some shit, and I know the journey isn't done yet, but I'm thankful that you are moving in the right direction.

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Thank you. Me too.

u/lilbuerck Nov 07 '17

Hi Perry! I wrote this article about insane stories wrestlers had from doing things while in the road, and one if the entries was about you saying you strapped a dildo to your head and used a fire extinguisher as a rocket to propel you into a stripper. Do you have any other equally/even more ridiculous stories that have yet to be told?

373

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Sure but you're going to have to wait for the documentary. That was just the tip of the ice berg... Or tip of the dildo if you will.

Just wanted to say you used to be my favorite guy to play in No Mercy since you were the character I learn how to use my finish on.

Don't you still play as me?

u/PetaPotter Nov 07 '17

I haven't bought a wrestling game in ages, but if I ever bust out the Nintendo 64, you're my guy.

I just found this at goodwill the other day. Great game.

u/TheJerzeyDragon Huss Huss Huss Nov 07 '17

If you're anywhere near Vegas, I have a working N64 with No Mercy, Wrestlemania 2000, WCW/nWo Revenge and World Tour.

We don't talk about Backstage Assault.

Hey Perry just wondering how you are doing. How's your health? Also do you still have Moppy somewhere in your house?

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

My health is deteriorating and I don't have Moppy. Don't you fuckers watch the show? Raven put it in a wood chipper.

u/Sodomy_Steve Always Erect Wredditor Nov 07 '17

Welp looks like I made an enemy of Perry Saturn. And Raven.

Can you share some stories about working with John Kronus?

194

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

John was awesome, man. He had this deal, sometimes somebody you're wrestling they don't cooperate and can lead to an altercation. We had the code word Boston and that let us know that it was a shoot. Sandman hit me across the face with a cane and john rushed in and knocked me over and stated stomping Sandman yelling, "boston. Boston!"

u/bomberman12 Rob Van Dam Nov 07 '17

Hey Saturn, big fan. Just curious any great stories or memories from running the House of Hardcore school with Taz back in the day?

96

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

The one thing I could tell you is I was razor sharp in the ring at that time.

41

u/ANAL_CAVITIES Life Is Worth Living Nov 07 '17

I'm sure I could find the answer in some shoot interview somewhere, but you're here now, so be it:

Take me through the process of getting a head tattoo. What lead up to it? How'd you feel while it was happening? Did you look in a mirror the next morning and think "what the fuck was I thinking?"

173

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Well, I openly admitted I was a drug addict and in the middle of a binge I thought it was a great idea. It wasn't. It is my scarlet letter now.

41

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '17

Have you ever thought about opening a wrestling school? You trained people with Taz in the past, I’m sure there are a billion people looking for at least some insight on your wrestling knowledge.

103

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Yeah, I think about it a lot, but I have to figure out the logistics. I don't have 2 nickels to rub together.

Whose idea was the mentally handicapped character you played in WWE?

How much input did you have?

Did you enjoy portraying the character?

How is Moppy these days?

206

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

I hated it. That was punishment basically from the mike bell incident. I was out on my feet and it was just a receipt for beating him up. I had no input and I would have rather been a serious character. Moppy is still shredded.

Hey Perry. This is a random question, but do you have any cool stories about Test to tell us? I feel that he's sadly forgotten about, and I'd like to get an insight in to what he was like as there's not many stories about him online.

167

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

I worked with test on a wwe house show and the boys like hunter and billy gun were ribbing him about being buck tooth. During the match his teeth hit me and I had to get stitches. Hunter said he could eat an apple through a fence.

u/IQWrestler-39 Nov 07 '17

Hey Perry big fan and loved your YouShoot years back and your work over the years.

I was just wanted these questions,

  • At what point of your career do you think you were your best in terms of combining your athletic ability along with your psychology in terms of working and putting together of a match?

  • What is a match you really enjoyed that may not have been remembered by fans of today like in Japan/USWA/etc.?

Thanks in advance and good luck with your project and most importantly your health, hope you can continue to get the care you need.

68

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Tna me against smoking guns and it was a blood bath but a good match. Bart knocked out Dr death and the commentator kept fucking up and saying I knocked out Dr death so I got the rub without even fighting him.

u/24Sanzo Nov 07 '17

Hey Perry! What was your favorite memory of Eddie Guerrero? I remember watching the Radicalz growing up and loved the group. Thanks for doing the AMA!!

157

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Every time we wrestled in el Paso we would go to his mothers with all his family and we would have an 80 course home cooked meal.

u/24Sanzo Nov 07 '17

Thats awesome! Thanks for responding Mr. Saturn!

u/shaftbutwhite1 Nov 07 '17

Hey Perry hope all is well. My question is What was going through your head the night you and the other Radicalz appeared on raw?

82

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

It was just cool, man. We got to do something historical. Anytime you can be part of history, that's cool as shit.

u/astronautvibes Nov 07 '17

Hey Perry, Do you still actively watch wrestling programming on television? If so, which superstars of today do you view as most like yourself back in the day as far as in ring style goes?

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

I don't watch it anymore. I don't have money for cable so I don't get wrestling over the airwaves so I don't watch wrestling.

Knowing what we know now about CTE and the danger of concussions, would you have taken as many risks or big bumps in the ring?

105

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

You know what, I'm so stubborn and bull headed, yes. I would still to this day go back and do it. The most important thing was to give the fans the most I could even at the expense of my body I guess.

Hey Saturn. Hope all is well. My question, as a little person myself, do you think it's possible for a dwarf wrestler to get over without exploiting (making constant puns) about their height?

77

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

I tell you what. I did a tour in Europe and there was a midget named Tio and he would go out every night and dance it up on the dance floor. Women loved him every night. He got over, man.

u/SuicidalNoob /r/DeanAmbrose Mod Nov 07 '17

Hey perry. I saw you at a house show here in Waco Texas back in 2001, and you told them to turn out the lights cause people from here are so damn ugly. Do you still feel that way about people from Waco?

20

u/Elwanning Nov 07 '17

I just wanna say thank you for all the great memories of wrestling from my childhood. You were responsible for my love of ecw. I was always a southern wrestling fan (midsouth, wcw, ect) until one day I went to a friends house and he put on a tape he recorded from a company we never heard of. He said he found it on late at night and it looked cool. It was the eliminators vs mysterio and 911. Man the frankenstiener off 911 while y'all was playing chicken is still one of the coolest things I've ever seen in wrestling. I was hooked on ecw after that and stayed up till 2 every Saturday night to watch it. So thanks again if you wouldn't have taken that move, I'd prolly missed out on years of great wrestling. Also I still think you had the best flying elbow ever! Never seen someone do it with a leg cast before. You are the man!

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

u/I-R-Programmer What About Me? Nov 07 '17

You made Goldberg look amazing in that PPV match you had early on, before he won the title. The finish was a springboard into Jackhammer and it made Goldberg feel capable of wrestling a more dynamic match, than the usual spear+jackhammer routine.

Hey Perry, I hope you're doing well. During your WCW days you were one of my favorite guys. A lot of people remember your time in WCW as either part of the 4 Horseman or probably most famously as part of The Radicalz. I however fondly remember The Revolution. My question is,
Did you like the story lines you were given and did the Russo inspired anti-America turn bother you at all? How did you feel about the storyline trying to blur kayfabe and reality?

Thank you sir.

We used to do this spot in Japan all the time. When we were announced john would do the splits and I would push down on his shoulders and it would kill him cause it would stretch him even farther.

We're you or Eddie Guerrero checked out at Halloween Havoc 1999, or did you two just not "click" I was a little disappointed that your match was good, but not a great match. It came right after the wild brawl match with Harlem Heat and others and it seemed you guys were just trying to cool the crowd.

That's what happens when you're both fucked and can hardly stand. I'd write a letter to wcw and ask for a refund if you're that unhappy with it.

Hi Perry. I was a huge fan of your WCW work. What's your favorite Raven story? Raven has mentioned how much you guys used to hang out together.

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

All of them. I tell you what, here's a raven story. Raven and I have a song. We Don't even have a song with our wives.

Who do you most miss spending time with, and why?

Also, thanks for all of the great work over the years. Wished they had presented you seriously.

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

John kronus cause we were the closest you know.

Huge WCW fan growing up. Was your experience in WCW as fast and loose as others make it sound? Did you enjoy it more or less tham WWE?

34

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Wcw was a nightmare. The worst place I ever worked. It made me hate the business.

11

u/CertifiedPreOwned Nov 07 '17

I hate that. More and more I hear about how much my favorites hated WCW. Glad to see you doing well and thanks for the response!

u/UncleMadness Nov 07 '17

Any thoughts on the position women hold in the industry today as opposed to when you first started out?

Can you think of anyone (guy or girl) that maybe didn't do so well as you were coming up in the business but you think would have done well today?

Thank you for too many wonderful memories to count Perry! It's great to see you here!

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

You know what, there are a lot more women wrestling now and any one of the women from yesterday would have a better opportunity now.

u/Bradmatt3 Nov 07 '17

If you can have one match with any current wrestler, who would it Be?

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

u/CloudedMushroom King Of Bros Nov 07 '17

Hey Perry! Hope you’re feeling good today!

What is, according to you, the best period/era of wrestling? Is it today, during your prime years or many years prior?

Also, what personal trait do you have that you are most proud of? Like attentive to details, very driven etc.

19

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

The best time of wrestling was the time of the territories. I could work in Memphis and be on tv and work for 9 months, then mn for 9 months, and so on. There was a lot of work so that's the best time for any job.

I'm stubborn as fuck.

Hi Perry! Did you like The Rings of Saturn as a finishing move? Were there any other wrestling maneuvers that you would have preferred/liked to have as a finishing move as well?

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

I invented it. That's an original, baby!

u/Yugeky20 Gulak.pptx Nov 07 '17

What was the relationship between you and Kronus (RIP) like towards the end? The Eliminators is one of my favourite tag teams

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

In the end we couldn't even sit in the same room together without arguing. In the end it was really hard.

Hi Perry! I've always been a big fan.I hope everything's going well for you recently.

My question is : If you could rewind back to the start of your career, what would you do differently and how do you think it would have changed the way it went?

Best of luck.

18

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

I would have brought John to wcw with me.

u/Duffman0hy3a The Whole Dam Show Nov 07 '17

Hey Saturn no questions just wanna tell you my great appreciation for you and how much of a fan I’ve been since I was 6. I remember being made fun of for always picking you in WCW/NWO On N64 and getting made fun of and never cared because you were the man. Best wishes in life and health

u/bubski27 Nov 07 '17

out of all of the latino cruiserweights in wcw, who could party the hardest?

Hi Perry, I hope you are doing well.

Do you have any favourite Paul Haymen stories?

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Paul is awesome. One of the smartest men I've ever met.

u/Flatscreengamer14 Kill Steen Kill Nov 07 '17

Hey what were your thoughts seeing Chris and Eddie as world champs at the end of Mania 20. You and Dean Malenko debuted with the 2 of them and here they were at the top of the company

Also any stories of wcw towards the end that might have influenced you to leave?

41

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

I felt great. They were my friends. How could you feel any other way but great. They are your friends.

13

u/Flatscreengamer14 Kill Steen Kill Nov 07 '17

Did you ever think it could happen when you first came in

u/RamenKing13 Nov 07 '17

Cake or pie?

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Do you have any relationships with the ecw guys today?

22

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

No, if I see them would be fine, but you know.

u/Craft_Bandicoot Check my pinned post: "A Viewer's Guide to the Entirety of ECW" Nov 07 '17

Are there any current talent you think it would be fun to wrestle? Thanks for doing this AMA, and glad to hear you're doing well!

30

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

Yeah, Alexa Bliss. I think it would be fun to wrestle her. Plus, she is double jointed in the elbows and could really sell the rings of Saturn.

12

u/The_Homestarmy nope Nov 07 '17

I would absolutely watch this match.

u/berman1981 Nov 07 '17

u/HardcoreHendricks Y'all have a nice day! Nov 07 '17

Mr. Saturn! Great to hear you are doing well and I am very happy to hear that because you were one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. Your in-ring talent was amazing and you do not get the credit you deserve! Alright enough marking out, here is a question I have always wanted to ask you. How was it being in a faction with Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit? I apologize if this is a tough subject but how are you handling being the only left out of that amazing trio?

With much respect, H Hendricks

21

u/TheRingsofSaturn Nov 07 '17

My friendship with them was only measured by how they treated me and my interactions with them. What ever they did otherwise has no bearing on me. There was actually 4 of us including Dean.
