Before I even watch.... if Perry Saturn, Former Army Ranger, guy who got shot twice stopping an attack on a Woman, who also took bumps in ECW, and had plenty of opportunity to be in or witness backstage antics, calls someone a badass, they are.

Perry's a solid bloke who, despite some misguided moments, deserves better. Glad to see he's on the road to recovery.

[@DanielGarcia-us7tf]

Perry Saturn had a better top rope elbow than most of the performers from his era. His matches with Goldberg, Booker T, Raven, Kanyon, Chris Benoit, DDP and Paul London were fantastic.

[@justint8635]

Absolutely. If Perry were a modern wrestler, he'd be a top guy.

I've watched 7 wrestling legends asked about Haku vs Brock Lesnar in their respective primes and all 7 picked Haku without hesitation just like Perry Saturn picked him in this clip. Also, I loved how he talks about Rick Rude being a badass who could knock out people at will and then at 4:44 he says Rick Rude wouldn't stand a chance against Haku.

[@mannybudhu3905]

I remember watching Warlord..meeting Haku at a signing....the way Warlord looks at Haku...like a kid meeting Mr. Olympia...total respect.

[@tacoenvy]

@@ComicBookGuy420 Yeah man exactly, I miss him.

[@Abioticwinter]

Last I heard about Perry was he saved a woman and got shot in the neck. Glad to see hes still around. I miss those ECW guys.

[@tobysgamingworld1550]

The only pro wrestling personality I was ever close with, actual long time friends, is the late Bill Moody (Paul Bearer) He always talked about how tough Rick Rude was and how he hated traveling with him because he got off on fighting. Loved it…..but he also said Steve Blackmon was a legit scary individual, like a certified killer. He said he never bragged about it, never ran his mouth, but he was as legit as they come. Bob Holly lived and worked in the same area as Bill (where I live) and was known to knock out plenty of people on the local tough man circuit but even he himself would never try Steve Blackman. He said “that’s the one, that’s the kind of guy that could snap your neck before you finished talking shit”. I believe it.

[@thewhitepanther6052]

He was one of my fav wrestlers in WCW. They had no idea what to do with him in WWE.

[@TheRmm1976]

[@ZEX606]

Yeah Steve Black ain't no joke my friend trained with him back in the day said Steve so fast quick in strong and teaching them submission and how to get out of them said Steve was getting out of submission in seconds making it look to easy.

[@thebigmarbowski84]

On an ep of the E&C podcast Christian told a story of how he often thought about how Steve Blackman could probably kill everyone in the locker room one by one and there'd be nothing anybody could do about it.

[@soulofanerd9364]

Funny he mentions Robbie (Rick) Steiner. When Saturn was in WCW I always felt like he would have made a great third man teaming with Rick and Scott Steiner

[@Sturmgeist702]

Saturn was the best. I went to an ECW show in Boston back in 98. Raven and Saturn were having a late lunch by Tower Records and talked shit to a former friend wearing a Tommy Dreamer shirt. Raven called my friend a slur. My friend talked shit back. Raven and Saturn both stood up and we both knew we didn't talk back.

[@harryholbrook3751]

Perry is a true bad ass and a truly under rated man

[@user-oo8un3ch4b]

So good to see Perry talking wrestling here today 👍

[@DaWrestlingKnowledge]

Perry shouldn’t sell himself short, I know he’s humble but he was legit back in the day also. Even if you’ve never seen him in real life action you can just tell, and I completely buy that story with him and Brock. I’ve been re-watching some Perry Saturn matches from the attitude era recently against Eddie Guerrero and Fully Loaded 2000 etc, man Perry was criminally underrated in the ring, his physique and his look too.

[@kevthegoat8774]

Professional wrestling has historically always been full of legitimate tough guys. You got guys that started in professional wrestling then went on to fight for real like Brock Lesnar, Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn, Craig Pittman, Kazuyuki Fujita, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Lashley, Kazushi Sakuraba, Alberto Del Rio, Rodney Mack, Sean O'Haire, Palmer Cannon, Bart Gunn, Bobby Fish etc Many shooters that excelled in amateur wrestling or other grappling arts and knew how to cripple someone like Danny Hodge, Kurt Angle, Lou Thesz, Bad News Allen, Chris Taylor, Mad Dog Vachon, Tracy Smothers, Bruno Sammartino, John Tenta, Steve Williams, Steve Blackman, Stu Hart, Toru Tanaka, Santino Marella, Scott Steiner, Otis, Baron Corbin, Bron Breakker, Hunico, Bret Hart etc Then you got the guys who weren't trained shooters but could hold their own with anybody like Haku, Peter Maivia, Harley Race, Sika, Afa, Cocoa Samoa, Ed Sailor White, André The Giant, David Schultz, Perry Saturn, Brian Pillman, Butch Reed, The Godfather, Gypsy Joe, Tony Halme, Booker T etc Unless you were a trained fighter the chances of beating even half of these guys is very unlikely.

[@machohogan]

The only thing that gets me is that every time a pro wrestler, however tough, gets in the ring with a professional fighter they get humbled. Being realistic there are plenty of MMA fighters who’d take a peak Haku. Rick Steiner getting humbled by Vordel Walker. Bam Bam Bigelow and Kimo, Tony Halme. Plenty of supposed tough guys fell at the first hurdle. Guys like Brock, Lashley or even Jack Swagger are obviously legit. Anyone who tests themselves in real professional fighting has a right to known as a tough guy, the rest is just a work. Brawl For All showed how bad some supposed bad ass wrestlers look in real combat. Being 6’3 and 280lbs you have an advantage over 99.9% of people. Put a trained pro fighter the same size in front of you and it’s a different story.

[@buckster2575]

I'm pretty sure some of these prime wrestlers could beat the breaks off a MMA fighters.

[@losnamerales3403]

Im gonna watch a a "total elimation" compilation after this 💯

[@MichaelMartin-qe5ye]

Haku is a legit badass. Unless you show him the clip of the Shockmaster, then he'll giggle like a little schoolgirl.

[@billyclub9863]

This guy is great. Knows his place in the pecking order & respectful!

[@shoelesblondlady]

As a kid I didn't know the top card from the lower card but late 90s midcard Saturn was awesome. He had one of my favorite movesets on wcw/nwo revenge and it was fun watching his bald head do the thing when he did rings of Saturn. If you want the best story ever look up his raven/moppy story. It involves a dildo helmet, drugs, flooding 2 hotel floors, prostitutes, fighting cops naked, a slip and slide, a mop and a new game that should be in the olympics. I gave away alot but you have still have no idea. They told it in one of those interviews where the guy pulls drugs out of a bag and asks them which wrestler associates with them most

[@jearlpruitt]

That Haku story is fantastic.

[@jnulpi]

Oh Man Perry Saturn i cant believe it.He was such good Worker.I am so happy he is healthy again.

[@crazyralph6386]

Most people forget that Lesnar actually got into a ring against legit killers during his UFC stint. To me, he’s got the tough guy title over all these guys, cause you need absolute balls to step into the Octagon with guys like Cain and Overeem.

[@jehozadak665]

Perry a class guy. Nice person

[@corycru8442]

Saturn is a legend the rings of saturn was dope i remember he would lock it in and be rollin his head around 😂

[@jaydaville1105]

I was the only kid growing up that adored Perry Saturn and Raven. I was always Saturn on WCW REVENGE. Great fuckin guy.

[@thegunslinger8806]

Mt favorite Blackman story is when he got on the ground to show off his moves and he asked big show to put his boot on his chest and he took him down and locked him up in some leg hold, the dude had he been there for UFC in the 90s would have been a killer. Thank God he stayed in wrestling and bail bonds cuz God knows he'd probably kill most guys today in the locker room.

The Steiners never get credit for how tough they were. D1 all Americans meaning only guys like Angle and Brock could beat them.

[@johnnybeefum]

I don't a lot of pro-wrestling fans understand how incredibly difficult amateur wrestling is and what it means to be a D1 All-American or to make a World or Olympic team. Everyone says Haku would beat Brock in a fight but I'm wondering how Haku would be able to stop Brock from taking him down and what he'd be able to do if Brock was on top of him. There are very few people on the Earth who would make it out alive if they got caught underneath Brock. LOL

[@lorddeathspit1124]

@@johnnybeefum indeed. pro wrestling fans in general don’t understand that. Haku would get trapped under Brock and stay there. You can’t stop a world class amateur wrestler from taking you down without being one yourself.

[@kevthegoat8774]

​@@lorddeathspit1124 There's a few other guys I'd pick to take The Steiners who were around the same time as them: Sylvester Terkay - NCAA Heavyweight Champion being Kurt Angle's rival in college, went 3-1 in MMA and 0-2 in Kickboxing losing two close decisions to World Class Kickboxers. Craig Pittman - Was in WCW around the same time as The Steiners, Pittman was a Greco Roman wrestler and Olympic alternate who fought in the 1995 Vale Tudo tournament while still under contract with WCW. Bart Gunn - Bart wasn't an NCAA wrestler but he knew how to wrestle and had knockout power, also fought twice in MMA while in his 40's and gave a good account of himself. Shinsuke Nakamura - BJJ purple belt and has an amateur wrestling background too, fought in MMA and looked decent with some really nice smooth takedowns. Alberto Del Rio - Greco Roman wrestler and fought in MMA, there's a fight on here where he breaks a fighter's arm with a throw, also is no stranger to a backstage fight/street brawl as there's plenty of stories out there. Tracy Smothers - Wasn't an NCAA wrestler but had a wrestling background and was known for his street fighting ability, many guys have mentioned him as being one of the toughest ever in the business and legit toughest man in ECW. Dr. Death Steve Williams - Four time NCAA All American where he even beat future Olympics Gold Medalists and UFC fighters. Black Bart mentioned how back in the Mid South days Rick always used to challenge Steve and he'd stretch Rick all the time. You would definitely have to have some amateur wrestling knowledge and striking ability to beat The Steiners in a shoot. Terkay, Pittman and Williams were more accomplished wrestlers than both brothers.

[@richardstetson8221]
