Man, Perry is a sharp guy! He remembers dates, spots, towns! That's pretty impressive considering alot of people in the industry can't do that so well. Glad to see he's seemingly doing well in life. He went pretty hard back years ago! Especially in ECW! Good stuff!

[@jasonnapier2942]

Glad he's doing good considering he's an addict and that shit isn't easy to overcome and keep doing that. He's hard to understand sometimes but a great interview.

[@grantmcphee5149]

I swear not too long ago he said he had brain damage/dementia... So yeah, it's good to hear him so lucid.

[@MrSadface]

Yeah it's great to see him like this again. He looked great when he resurfaced but I think a few years back he had a brief interview with Apter and he was talking about his yrs sober but if you didn't know he was a wrestler with concussions you'd be like "yeah right". Hopefully whatever he's been up to at home has been stimulating his mind.

[@bartledo9942]

He literally said he used a real stun gun on him, you can clearly see the top of it taped up.

Seems like there were several attempts to get Goldberg to work longer matches but unfortunately they still weren't able to get as many out of him as they needed. Love Saturn and feel awful about all the terrible things he went through after being released by the WWF after they gave him the moppy punishment, and then all the years of financial woes and homelessness... This man served his country, was shot twice while defending a woman who was being sexually assaulted, and despite all his talents and credentials never reached the heights he was destined for as a professional wrestler.

[@lewisb85]

Only one who was able to get a good long match out of bill seemed to be brock many years later, makes you wonder if in that time away billy humbled and learnt how to listen.

[@0newingedcrow]

@@lewisb85 well, DDP arguably got Goldberg's best match out of him at Halloween Havoc back in WCW. Unfortunately, the home audience didn't get to see it until the following night on Nitro. And really unfortunate for Goldberg he knocked himself out cold in that match. Still, due to the grace of God they finished that match after making it a longer and more competitive match than he ever had before.

[@ravensmythe1]

Always thought Saturn should have been a much bigger star. His suplexes were amazing and looked legit. Great interview k! It's good to see Saturn is still around despite all the adversity he's been through

[@grantmcphee5149]

WCW used him pretty well. He was a workhorse but he was neither big enough nor charismatic enough to be a main eventer, so attaching him to guys like Raven and Chris Jericho was the right way to use him.

[@ravensmythe1]

@@grantmcphee5149 he got huge when he went to WWF. I think if he had a manager back then (I think Paul Heymen already lost ecw) he could have been way more popular. I'd say not quite a top guy, but definitely upper midcard. Too bad he battered a few enhancement guys). His fued with Raven in WCW was great (I re-watched not too long ago) he was incredibly over.

These 2 matches that Perry, Saturn had with Bill Goldberg.We're actually quite goddamn amazing and Goldberg. Putting in the work in the match really does show

[@jongriffin6004]

Other than microphone skills, Saturn had it all. The look, the build, he could have a great match with anyone because he could work any style. One of my all time favorites.

[@kevins4222]

This is true- pretty sure Bruce Prichard mentioned that out of all the WCW guys to first move to the WWF, Vince McMahon saw the most potential in Saturn.

[@Spooky_515]

Saturn wasn’t a mic guy but his backstage segments and what not were always interesting. Wether it be wearing a dress in WCW or Moppy he knew how to entertain

[@robertlduncan12]

Their first PPV match before Goldberg won the US title was really good. The second one after he won the US title was closer to what we'd expect from Goldberg. But both still entertaining matches.

[@TonysMusic1974]

I'm just glad Perry Saturn is still with us :-)

[@lewisb85]

Well Bill did once say to vince russo about scott steiner "If this was real it wouldn't be believable that Scott could beat me up" Saying this about a D1 wrestler, I'm kind of glad that the run against Josh Barnett in Japan didn't happen for Bill because if he went in with that attitude Josh would have probably taken his arm home as a souvenir.

[@Devypocalypse]

Didn't Russo tell Goldberg to go tell Steiner that too? Scott would have wrecked Bill in real life.

[@johnchavezjr3312]

Look at what happened when Steve Regal went against Goldberg. Regal made him look like a fool.

[@Hyde_Hill]

Other then the DDP match indeed with early Goldberg his matches vs Saturn where the best.

[@retroshane8844]

That match with Goldberg is a classic, such a good spectacle after months of squashes. It made perfect sense because Perry was legit, had it all. Power moves, air attacks, speed and suplexes. Great to see Perry sharing his stories. All the best mate.

[@user-yh5yh5es4u]

Mr.Saturn wrestled Goldberg at the 98 memphis show where Bret and Sting wrestled the first time.Saturn was really good from seeing him at uswa spot shows to wcw and wwf the week after 9/11 in memphis at smackdown in person.he 's a real top guy.

[@eerslink5498]

Saturn was always a solid hand IMO, he could have a match with anyone and make it good. Glad to see he made it back on his feet before the ten count was up and hopefully, he'll stay on his feet. The future of the industry needs guys like him to be happy and healthy.

[@shoelesblondlady]

I loved Saturn back in the day. My friends thought I was weird because I would be him on nwo wcw revenge alot but he had a cool move set and it was fun seeing his head bob around during the rings of Saturn in the game. So many wrestlers had less reasons to complain than Saturn but that's all they do. He seems happy having to put over a guy who didnt understand the business because he made him look good. Look up his moppy dildo hat story

[@justafanofnerdculture7602]

Actually, Saturn was also one of my favorite wrestlers to use in WCW/NWO Revenge. His move set was sick. Very spot on with the real Saturn. Also, yes, the head bobble was the shit while applying The Rings Of Saturn. 😄

[@bn80419]

I’ll take the second, lol

[@RaulieAbreu-xs4kb]

God bless Perry Saturn for real and looking back at the past I think Goldberg got way too much of a push too fast. The WCW should have had a year long storyline after Sting beat Hogan at Superbowl 1998 to win the belt. The storyline should have been Sting as the champ having a long feud with Bret Hart not Goldberg becoming the champ and hurting people in the ring like Bret Hart. If I ran it with my common sense attitude WCW might still exist.

I don’t know where Bill gets he was some kind of shooter. Doofus has zero combat pedigree and looked like an absolute amateur whenever he showcased anything resembling striking. Total fraud. Saturn was and is awesome. Glad to him in these interviews.

[@afdcg]

You can hate Bill after get smart by Watching podcasts and thinking certain people are talented and some are overrated and the wrestlers jealousy gets ingrained into you thinking its unfair. But you need to get the facts straight, without Hogan WWF or wrestling would have never been bigger. Goldberg drew more money with 5 moves and no psychology. In wrestling the look and gimmick play the main part of being successful. Vince McMahon made Bret Hart the champion and WWF only drowned. Warrior with 2 moves drew more money than Stu harts entire family. That's the reality, accept it.

[@shooter86-uw8ce]

He had invested some of his money in an mma gym in 1998 with Tim Catalfo He thought that made him a shooter for real by default It didn't Either Steiner, Regal, Finlay and Norman Smiley (an amateur wrestler and Karl Gotch student) could've dissuaded him of that fantasy pretty quick

[@afdcg]

@@shooter86-uw8ce see you still didn't get the point. The money was always on Goldberg because he looked like a star. Wrestling isn't real. Goldberg tried making his gimmick look believable. He protected it. It drew money. Wrestlers who were legit strong would have never drawn a dime because they didn't look like superstars.

[@Larry_Hegs]

@@afdcg that’s entirely irrelevant to my point. If there was an award for incredible levels of irrelevance to an original topic, you just won it. Congrats. That’s no small feat! No one, again not a single person, made the comment that Bill wasn’t a big draw. Read more books or something.
