    I havent heard about Perry Saturn in ages. I thought he had probally hung them up. I didnt know he was rehabbing from several gunshot wounds to his neck.

    I read the below on 411.com just now, and I think its very admirable. Hope he comes back to WWE. I always liked Saturn. Even when he wore a skirt and talked to a mop!

    :D

    From USA Pro:

    In April of 2004 Perry Saturn was driving his girlfriend to work when he heard what he thought was an argument next to a vehicle. When he approached the vehicle, he saw two men trying to restrain a woman as they were raping her. Without hesitation, he grabbed both men off her, and started fighting with them. As he was able to get the woman free from her attackers, he felt a burning sensation in his neck. He thought originally it was a cut stemming from a punch. However, he learned soonafter he was shot three times in the neck with a 25 caliber handgun.

    Perry Saturn now has a steel plate and 3 stainless steel screws where his C-5, C-6 and C-7 vertabre in his neck were badly injured. The good news is that after a very tough and extensive amount of physical therapy and training, he is able to return to wrestling. When you think about it, it's amazing he is even alive, or even able to walk!

    I never knew this before. I have muchos respect for Perry now, despite the 'best' efforts of the WWE's writing team which basically tried to make him look like a joke.

    The whole mop fiasco was almost on a par with the Katie Vick angle for sheer stupidity. And it could also be viewed as a precursor to the inspired Eugene angle today. :rolleyes:

    jesus thats quite a story, can you stick up a link hanza? i havent seen that reported anywhere else.


    saturn is legit tough as nails in real life, he was an army ranger/paratrooper for years, and i think he was a marine for a while(not sure if im confusing him with someone else on the marine bit though.)

    fair play to the guy, that really is heroism.

    I read this too , he wanted to keep this whole story quiet as he is trying to get over the trauma of it. Whats even more sad abut it is the fact that he had no medical insurance and there is a fair bit of expence involved. I think there will be a collection online soon and i thnk i will donate somthing small to it. Check this site ...........

    Here's where the words 'one tough SOB' are actualy true. It'd be nice if some of the indie companies ran benifit shows for one of the bravest men to set foot inside a ring.

    Perry!...Legend, I hope he not only comes back to WWE but is given a chance this time. Poor Saturn got the raw end of The Radical Deal!...I also have seen a rumor that Sean Waltman (1-2-3 Kid, X-Pac) is on his way back to WWE...DX v Evolution...its going to happen damit!...I predicted it here and now!
    Road Dogg coming back maybe?...Billy Gunn to raw?...ohhh...the omens are all there
